Amazing architecture of the building. Clean and neat areas. The breakfast was spectacular!

Stayed in April 2023

The bathrooms weren’t very clean, they needed a little bit more of maintenance everyday day.

The staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful. The Hostel was very lovely, and location was amazing and the breakfast was very delicious. Also was able to meet very lovely guests too.

The bathroom is a bit too far from the room, but it is not a big issue.

Nice hostel, clean, awesome breakfast, good location. I highly recommend it.

Great backpacker groups; not much smoking. Excellent location. Private-ish beds are nice. Excellent locker sizes. I love the separate bathrooms too. Kitchen is a great size.

beautiful building and really central, breakfast was amazing and nice big table to eat with other travellers. staff helped me loads to find information about trips and tours. loved it.

The only downside for me was the fact that smoking is allowed in the same place people are eating, and the smoke drifts into the kitchen and upstairs to where the bedrooms are.

I stayed in a single then a twin room - both were great, although the single room was quieter. The whole place was clean, I liked the shared kitchen and the courtyard, which has a fire pit. There’s also a communal sitting area upstairs. The breakfast was really good - fruit, toast, eggs, pancake, coffee/tea - and because I don’t eat animal products I was offered porridge and almond milk which I really appreciated. There’s a TV with Netflix. There was a place to store my bicycle. Staff were excellent. Location hard to beat.

- Very hot upstairs, you have to open the windows to cool down after a hot day (our room had no windows, just the door to the chill area) - One of the staff members was getting herself tattooed while laying on the breakfast table without any protection > an absolute No Go (!) and very unhygienic - Staff ok: not friendly, not unfriendly - Never filtered water available - In the mornings a lack of paper in the bathrooms - Some shower heads weren’t functioning well - Music sometimes to loud, although almost no one was there

PRIVATE ROOM + Small but cozy room, for only €2.50 each more you have a private room which is nice > don’t expect too much + Chill area outside the room > very nice decorated and comfortable + Perfect (!) location + Breakfast included (sometimes cold eggs / pancakes, especially when you come later) + Luggage storage after check out + Social hostel where you will easily meet people

The low doorways that I hit my head on 😂

The staff here is fantastic, the rooms, and common areas are very clean. WiFi is solid also.. Don't forget the included breakfast 🥞

Nothing

The home cooked breakfast was delicious. Location is in the city center

Maybe a tiny bit more expensive that what I would have priced but worth it for the environments

I stayed in the tiny private room which gave me the privacy I needed. The design of the house is charming, the bathroom is really clean and wifi is properly good. the staff is adorable and really helpful! Be prepared to be cold at night but they have really warm blankets to your disposition, just ask !

I was staying in a single room, initially rented it for 2 days, then decided to extend for 4 days more. This private space gets a lot of sunlight, and has an adorable smell of natural wood. It makes the atmosphere very positive and welcoming.

Excellent value for money! Snail is perfectly located in downtown San Cris, less than 5 minutes walking to the Zocalo. The hostel is super clean, with modern equipment (TV with Netflix, good Wifi, electric and USB sockets at each bed, etc.). It can be cold at night but there are extra blankets so it's really not a problem. The patio is a real plus to eat your (free!) breakfast in the morning or to relax after a long day wandering in the city and its surroundings. The staff was super nice and helpful! I 100% recommend Snail Bed and Breakfast!

We already stayed here twice on our trip through Central America and we would come back another time! It’s an awesome quit hostel but still easy to meet people. You get a great breakfast in the morning and everything is walkable from there. We can highly recommended this hostel!

The hostel was perfect for staying in San Cristóbal! It’s perfectly located and very clean. You get a tasty breakfast to have a good start into the day. Also the personal was veryyy helpful and friendly. Just be aware: it can get a little cold there. But you can get extra blankets! Also pay attention with the free water - it wasn’t good for us. Stay safe and buy plastic bottles instead.

Breakfast was not the best, but still ok.

I loved absolutely everything. I slept like a baby with my cozy extra blankets. many people wrote you hear every creak - I didn‘t. maybe I was lucky to have quiet co-travellers in the dorm(s). Bathrooms were very clean. Location is the best you can get.

Floors are a bit creaky and unlooking our door always took a long time

Noisy all hours of the day and evening (including the staff). The free breakfast was small and they didn't have most of the items for both days we stayed. Lots of people were smoking pot quite frequently, and the room was smaller than the photo implied with very low ceilings. Our beds also had sheets made of a kind of artificial fleece material which was weird.

If the hostel was completely quiet then this place would be fine but not special.

There’s only one Ecofiltro water filter, and so it is empty most of the time, so people have to buy water bottles which is not very ecological. Despite the “Respect our space, no drugs” signs, some of the staff members smoke dope which invites some guests to do the same. I don’t mind people doing whatever they want, but I don’t like inside spaces smelling like dope, or feeling like I have to go for a walk or I’ll start feeling high.

The location is great: between the center of town and the church of Santo Domingo and the market. Breakfast is really good, but it is pretty much the same every day: eggs, beans, pancakes, and white-bread toasts. Sometimes they offer quesadillas. I have seen some people request oatmeal, and the staff makes it for them. The cleaning staff does a great job keeping the place clean.

there's no soundproofing, so if you get the room over the common area you're basically in the room with whoever is in there at any time, every time the door slams, or when people come back at 4am talking in there

nice breakfast to start the day, comfortable rooms, helpful staff, good communal areas

Stayed in February 2023

The location is great, the staff is very lame. All the times I went to the reception they were on the sofa scrolling their phones, I mean, I understand there's empty times but at least pretend you're working. I asked to the people preparing the breakfast if they could make me some eggs for the next day since ai was leaving earlier than breakfast time, they said yes but never did it. I got very sick my last night there, I went down to ask for a thermometer but I couldn't find anyone. When one of the guys came up knocking on my door to tell me the shuttle was there and I told him I was very sick he barely cared, they didn't have a thermometer, nor heating pad, it took half an hour to make a tea, and they were super rude to a friend that came to bring me pills. The room I stayed in was the smaller I had ever been in, which wasn't a big deal, but from 10 am to late afternoon in sunny days is impossible to stay there as it becomes hot as an oven. They play loud and horrendous music from 10 am on, and a night at 11 i asked if they could lower it a bit they went like 'oh, there's music on?!'. I've been in Mexico and Sancris several times and never had such an experience.

Freezing cold open plan not good. Volunteer girl is the most miserable volunteer I've ever met. Breakfast was ok but not great. No fruit, same every day. Staff talking very loud from 7.30am. The open plan means you hear everything in the whole building.

It was very cold to sleep!! Make sure you bring a jacket or an extra blanket with you.

The location was very good. Breakfast is included. We had a private room. The atmosphere was nice.
