    Would be good to have a couch in the downstairs area, but we spent most of our time out exploring san cristobel so not a big deal.

    Room very nice, clean and comfortable. Drinking water, tea/coffee, fruit and oats all provided. Host was friendly and helped us out with any questions whether about the accomodation or san cristobel. Good location not far from main square and a street with lots of restaurants. Overall really good value for money.

    Such a beautiful little oasis. A small guest house, with a great set up that allowed you to mix with other people. Our room was perfect, it had plenty of additional blankets for those chilly nights. Down stairs we had a fire place with supplies to have your own fire. It was a lovely unexpected surprise that the kitchen area was equipped with complementary breakfast cereal and fruit. It catered to all our needs Thanks for having us

    I wish there was a more of a functional kitchen on the property, making it easier to cook for ourselves.

    Liked that it was a unit inside a larger complex. Water pressure and water temperature was great and consistent. Loved the fireplace in each room.Shared terrace and fresh fruit. Also the general location of the hotel was great. Owner was communicative and responded quickly. Onsite staff was really helpful, responsive and kind.

    Loved staying here, the place was very clean and comfortable! Within walking distance to the main square of San Cristobal. There is a kitchen/ common room on the terrace, so that is handy. Quiet, didn't hear noises from the street as the rooms are at the back of the property.

    Spacious clean rooms with fridge and coffeemaker. The rooms are at the back of the property so there was no road noise. Also no dogs or roosters! The communal dining room had breakfast ingredients like oats, granola and fruit and real chocolate. It had a lovely sunny terrace to eat on and just relax. The location was about a 10 minute walk to the zocalo or market, just outside the main busy central area so was quieter yet not too far to easily walk to good restaurants in the evening. Very quick communication and always helpful and friendly. Excellent accommodation in a tourist town with lots of choice. It’s no surprise everyone before us has also rated this guesthouse so highly.

    The only thing missing was some kind of stove to be able to cook simple meals.

    The staff was amazing, easy communication with the owner. The let us check in early and we were able to leave our bags at the property after checkout. The room was cutely decorated and comfortable. Walking distance to center. Highly recommended!! You won’t regret booking here.

    Would have loved for milk to be available for breakfast, as well as the granola refilled, i only got it for one morning.

    The mountain views, the location and such comfortable beds, the staff were also super friendly. There was also a fireplace in our room which we didn't use but would have loved to. There was breakfast included - Oats, banana, oranges and sometimes there is granola too, although no milk unfortunately. Free water to refill.

    Not much! There was only a couple there, so no one to make friends with as a solo female traveler. It would be a great place to bring a group of friends to as there is also a nice garden and common areas.

    Beautiful room that was more like a studio. Cute decorations, spacious. Close to everything and the staff was really nice. She checked on me, offered to help me start the fire in the fireplace, and even hand washed a jacket when I asked if I could use the clothesline.

    Could do with a full kitchen, only has microwave and fridge. No sink or oven/hob. This was definitely lacking. Also, we had the front room and there was a consistent gas smell. Lastly, there were occasionally ants. However, this is due to the climate and location, not the guest houses fault!

    We felt extremely comfortable here. San Cris can be chaotic but this really felt like a little haven. The price is incredibly reasonable, the rooms and apartments are spacious and comfy. Furthermore, the staff are on hand to help you with literally anything. Special thanks go out to Angelina! We felt at home here and would highly recommend it.

    Nothing.

    I loved everything about this place! The room was perfect - quiet, comfortable bed and pillows, shelves, open fire, plenty of space, great lighting in bathroom, large hot shower, super clean, beautiful garden to sit in, access to shared terrace and kitchen (fridge and microwave), free drinking water, free tea/coffee, free fruit, and umbrellas to use. Very safe, security code to access. Angelina is just wonderful - so kind and helpful, and keeps everything immaculately clean and restocked. Great location beautiful cobbled area to just wander, close to everything - 10 minutes easy walk to centre. I highly recommend this place, and will always stay here when I come to San Cristobal!

    As a solo traveler, I was hoping to meet fellow travelers, but I was the only guest at times, it felt a little lonely. What was a little confusing is that Booking showed that only 1 room was available but the entire place was empty. The lady Angelica who took care of the place was friendly, gave recommendations and made me feel welcome. The owner/manager Diana was traveling when I was there. She welcomed me very nicely by WhatsApp but was not very responsive to my my messages/questions that I had during the time I stayed there. Wifi was a little slow in the room.

    Amazing guesthouse with ~6 spacious and wonderfully equipped rooms with patio or balcony. You'll find everything you need there, including a shared kitchen area. It's clean and very cozy and even has a fireplace - perfect for everyone who wishes to stay in a secluded space located in a quiet area. Every little detail taken care of... Shared kitchen available has complimentary hot and cold water as well as fruit and cereal. Amazing view overlooking town. 5-10 min walking distance from busier area - nice and quiet.
