    Maybe a few more cups in the kitchen would be good but otherwise everything is great

    Really chilled and friendly vibe, with nice artistic touches around. Good common area to eat and hang out and lovely garden and roof top terrace for incredible views of the city. It is just by the Iglesia de Guadelupe which had best sunset views in the city. Also no more than 15 mins to walk to all central things /attractions. Also Luis (the owner) and his staff create such a friendly creative and inclusive place to be also sharing great knowledge of stuff going on in the city. We had great fun with everyone and will definitely be back

    None of the tents closed all the way, and the area where the tents are gets wet easily from the rain. It felt like we were out of water (not drinking water) more often than not, but this is not the fault of the hostel.

    The staff and volunteers are all super nice. The kitchen is well equipped and there's a lot of space in the hostel to relax. The price is very cheap all things considered. The breakfast was more than I was expecting honestly.

    The indoor shower for private rooms was always cold but we learned later that you had to ask for the heater to be turned on, would have been good to know at check-in. The internal room was also pretty hot, there was a fan but it was very noisy however you can't really complain for what you pay.

    Volunteers were very friendly and helpful and the private room is very good value for money. Lovely view from the rooftop.

    Breakfast was good: every day something radically different, sometimes very good tasting and original. I slept one night in a tent and slept like a baby there (with earplugs). Helpful and chill employees, who spoke good English. They were chill by letting me hang around some more because I had to wait for my night bus the day of my checkout. Great atmosphere: easy to talk to people, lots of people coming over playing musical instruments. Nice view over the town, so the name of the hostel is no lie.

    I arrived in the evening and was told that they had an issue with the system and were overbooked, so there would only be a tent available for me the first night. The tent was broken, it didn't close, which didn't make it a great arrival. In the end it wasn't that bad, since there were no mosquitos and they provided lots of blankets. I just wished they had informed me earlier, so you actually have a choice to go find another place, since not everyone fancies a tent in cold San Cristobal after arriving from a 11h bus ride in the dark. I guess they know you have no other choice, since most places are fully booked. Also, I heard from other guests staying that they had the same issue, so maybe it's not even a problem with the booking system but rather a thing they do when guests in the dorm extend their stay, not sure. I still ended up having a nice stay thanks to the overall atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. Just get that problem fixed or communicate it earlier and everything is perfect.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, tasty breakfast and great view from the rooftop. Overall recommend!

    The room had mold on the walls (you could also smell it), don't know about oher rooms though.. Not a problem for a night or two, but should be solved.

    the atmosphere and the stuff are great, it is close enough to the city center. Private room was really spatious.

    Some people were ill and they didn't care to protect other travellers. Only one toilet the other was broken. A little far away from the Centro.

    It was easy to chat with other travellers the vibe was good. I felt safe. There was always good music playing. Breakfast was nice.

    I didn't really get the vibe there, although I'm used to staying in hostels. The room was really basic in standard, yet clean. Breakfast was really basic.

    Staff was nice and helpful, rooftop view and the backyard were also nice.

    Camillo did an excellent job and helped us with anything we needed! Hostel Mirador is truly a hidden gem in San Cristóbal. The beds were very comfortable, there was free (delicious) breakfast, hot water for showers, and a great vibe! Everyone was very friendly. This was definitely the best hostel that I have stayed at in Mexico - I wish we could've stayed longer!

    There are some pretty amazing hostels in san cristobal. For the price, it didn't deliver the same value as some others we stayed at.

    Very quiet location with no noise from the street. The bed was comfortable and warm. Breakfast was good but pretty small, would be nice if there was some milk and cereal or something else you can serve yourself.

    only one shower that you have to go outside to use so may be cold at times, not everyone has a locker

    Nice volunteer community, a bit further from centro so gives you chill vibes and good view, quite hippie, free breakfast, comfy beds, great helpful staff

    We happened to get a room that shared a wall/window with the main common space and kitchen area. So it was a bit noisy. Light sleepers may mind this. But overall it was a great stay!

    Good vibes here! Nice view from the roof top space. The breakfast changed everyday and was very tasty. The volunteers are very sweet. We liked the location, at the very top of real Guadalupe...the walking street. And our bed was very comfy!

    The water was out for 1,5 day so we couldn't use showers and toilets or do the dishes, so everything was dirty, it was really gross and uncomfortable. Our room was next to the common room and like in all the hostels, there's no isolation at all, so kind of noisy..

    We stayed a few nights in this hostel, the volunteers working here were very friendly, fun and helpful! Beautiful view over San Cristobal from the roof!
