    Staying at Ikal felt more like staying at a friend’s place than at a hostel, we immediately felt welcome and it was pretty hard to leave. A truly unique place!

Hostal IKAL
Our hostel is located in the heart of the cultural district of San Cristóbal, in a 200-year-old colonial building renovated and under new management. Our private rooms and suites are perfect for a romantic and comfortable getaway, or for visitors who want a quiet environment, or travels passing by... our dorms offer everything you need. We have colonial patios, a beautiful terrace with incredible views of the city, mountains and sunsets. We also offer tours of all the main attractions of Chiapas.
Hostal IKAL is owned and operated by two guys who previously ran a Hostal in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. Even though there is no jungle here, that unique experience remains the most important factor.
Due to our location on a quiet street in the heart of the historic cultural district of San Cristobal, we are only a short walk away from all the main attractions and amenities.
