Very sweet, relaxed, beautiful hostel for a quiet but well located stay.

Staff work hard all day for cleanliness and care. Very personal, relaxed, open vibes. Impressive kitchen, social and roof-top terrace. we loved the desk, excellent wifi and little table and chairs outside just for us.

The room, especially bathroom were very damp and cold due to no natural air circulation and one small window. They have tried to fix the problem with ventilators but more still needs to be done especially for the rainy season.

the bed made of a cardboard and a few panels (no nails used) collapsed in the middle of the night

- location is good

- the beds are made of a cardboard and a few panels without the use of a single nail. The "bed" collapsed at 2AM while I was sleeping (look at attached photos), I went to the reception but nobody is there at night. Cannot imagine two people sleeping on that 'bed'. Stayed in the middle of the night without a place to sleep and no help.

A great v4m option in San Cristobal

I really liked everything, the staff was amazing (Geovanni was one of the friendliest and most helpful people I have met), the facilities were good, cool terrace, beds with curtains, warm showers, clean, great location, overall value for money. I would definitely come back.

Loved it there

Super cute and cosy hostel, with nice social activities. Staff was really attentive and helpful, always there to help. Special thanks to Giovanni, who was especially kind, he went out to get me some herbal medicine when I was sick and I didn't have the strength to go myself - the herbs he bought really helped me so much too.

Excellent choice with great outside space

Great location, quiet hotel, loved the private roof terrace, a great spot to enjoy a drink and play cards on a sunny day. Coffee machine, coffee and filtered water were appreciated. Reception helped us organise a tour which was really interesting. Communal areas were clean and well maintained

Tolles Hostel!

Ich war wunschlos glücklich. Besonders gefallen haben mir die bequemen Betten mit Vorhängen, die Sauberkeit, die zuvorkommenden Mitarbeiter und der gratis Kaffee am Morgen. Also eigentlich alles :) Würde es jederzeit wieder buchen.

Great value. Good time in San Cristobal

Lovely Hostel. Located close to everything. Awesome terrace. Very friendly stuff. We had the double room, was also nice. Great value.

Matress was a little thin and hard. Pillow a little flat. But again: For the price everything was awesome!

Clean, comfortable and in a great location

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay here. The hostel is in a really good location - a five to ten minute walk to the centre of town and it’s also walkable to the ADO bus terminal. We arrived at 2am after a long bus journey and it was no problem for us to check in. Our room was one of the private ones at the back of the house, we enjoyed the small terrace that we used each morning. The room was fairly small but had everything we needed and was very clean - in fact, it was cleaned every day. The water in the shower was also hot which was a bonus. The common areas of the hostel are also clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, there’s drinking water available and the rooftop is a great place to spend time. Would really recommend staying here.

For the price we paid, we can’t complaint about anything. We were traveling as a couple so the social element of hostel life wasn’t something we needed but if traveling alone, it didn’t seem to be the most social hostel. There are activities on the board in the kitchen but we didn’t see any of these actually happening.

Nice budget option in San Cristobal

Nice budget hostel, very good value for money. Fully equipped kitchen, big rooftop terrace. Beds are cabins with curtains. Lockers available. I arrived early in the morning and could use all facilities already before check-in.

Not very sociable, restrooms a little smelly.

Agradable y acogedor.,muy recomendable.

Muy buen detalle el cafe y una agradable vista en la terraza, la suite para 4 personas muy amplia y comoda.

No me explicaron como tener agua caliente en el baño y la ubicacion me hubiera gustado mas cerca al centro...aunque la caminata para llegar estuvo buena.

Buena relación calidad precio.

La habitación privada está separada y tiene un balconcito propio. La ubicación del hostal es buena y además ofrecen actividades para los huéspedes todas las noches. Además tiene una terraza con unas vistas muy bonitas. Las instalaciones comunes están muy bien cuidadas.

No salía mucha agua de la ducha y faltaba agua caliente.

Volvería.

Dormí en la suite 1 tiene cama y baño privado. El lugar es amplio y acogedor. El Wifi es excelente y tiene muchos enchufes. La terraza preciosa y la atención muy buena. La cama es un poco dura, pero se descansa muy bien. Las almohadas son muy ricas.

Cuando pasas por los cuartos comunales se despide un olor desagradable, yo no podría dormir ahí.

Over all I enjoyed.

Santa Lucia is my fave SanCristobal location, I like the esthetics of the interior, free organic coffee, a a quiet work place and relaxed atmosphere.

-Lack of ventilation and placing people who keep closing the windows next to them -as a person with a chronic health condition i didn’t like the stress sometimes coming from lack of common sense of certain individuals

My favourite hostel in Mexico so far.

Lovely workers, cool vibe, comfortable beds, good location, nice terrace view, free coffee and spices.

I would put some nice lights on the roof terrace for a better evening ambient.

Great Stay

We really enjoyed staying at La Abuelita hostel. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were very clean. The kitchen was well equipped, clean, organised and had everything you needed. We made tortillas the one day and the staff provided all the food which was great. They kept our bags for us as well for a late check out which we appreciated.

The rooms and bathrooms do need to be ventilated more, the mold on the walls is not great

Little loud if you are in the double room on the top balcony due to building work starting each day at 6am.

nice quiet hostel in San Cristobal

There was hot water and everything was v clean and cleaned regularly. the private rooms are cheap and the kitchen seems well equipped.

the WiFi in the private rooms wasn’t the best. it was so cold in the rooms all the time too, but I guess that’s not the hostels fault. The reception staff were nice enough but you don’t get a tour of the hostel or information when you check in.

Very good

All of the common areas are nice and clean, and the kitchen is well kept and equipped

The position of my bed was crammed into a corner and almost completely blocked by another bed, so getting to my bed and my locker underneath was difficult.

Nice budget stay

The facility is super cool. I love the kitchen and the shared areas, including the rooftop. It's closer to the bus station than most hostels.

It's a bit farther from the center of town, and I wish they had showers outside the dorm rooms. I hate waking people early or late, and the shower head sprayed all over the floor.
