Loved the breakfast that was included and the overall vibe of the hostel. The staff was incredibly helpful with the tours and experiences. And of course, the location was the best because we could walk everywhere without issue.
Our room key didn't work and it took three different staff to finally fix it but everything was resolved fairly quickly.

El desayuno estuvo muy bueno, la mermelada casera estaba especial, el pan artesanal, y la mantequilla, todo muy bueno. La amabilidad del personal y el ambiente comunitario. Se siente seguro y tranquilo, entre los huéspedes hay familias, personas que viajan solas, jóvenes y no tan jóvenes y de distintas nacionalidades. Es fácil entablar conversaciones con los huéspedes. La cocina es de uso común, hay dos espacios de cocina.
Creo que la relación calidad precio es muy buena, excelente; así que no dejo tengo mayores observaciones sobre lo que no me gustó. Tan sólo mencionar que algunos huéspedes deberían tener algo más de conciencia con el orden de sus cosas en el refri común y la limpieza de sus trastes tras cocinar o comer.

Me gustaron las instalaciones, la habitación impecable, muy aseado el lugar, la atención sin duda fue lo mejor.
Todo me pareció muy bueno, la hostilidad y atención del personal de limpieza.

Super cute hostel, nice vibe, good breakfast with freshly prepared eggs of your choice. It was really clean and they even did a roomservice and made the beds and changed the showermats.
I arrived at 5:30 in the morning, unfortunately the room was not free yet but I could stay in the kitchen and enjoy some coffee while waiting.

I loved the beautiful garden that surrounded the hostel that you could relax in. The rooms were clean and cosy. The staff were very friendly and helpful with organising tours and providing information. It's a nice hostel that is social but not having party vibes.
The extra room I stayed in for part of my stay didn't lock properly, the light came through the curtains and the night staff woke me up at 330am and 5am standing talking loudly to the tour bus guide outside my private room. I was disappointed as I upgraded from a dorm to get a better night's sleep and had a terrible one. I informed the staff and they gave me a discounted rate for the night. The room would be great if they just got darker curtains, fixed the lock and advised the night staff not to stand outside the room talking loudly and to respects guests sleeping.

This was an absolute dream of a hostel. The private rooms were cozy and the shared bathrooms were always clean. The staff is very friendly and ready to help.

Great hostel with really helpful staff, one member even helped us with our paperwork to leave Mexico! Nice social atmosphere without being too noisy or a 'party hostel'. The free breakfast was also great! All facilities were clean and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals.
Nothing!

Location is fine, just outside of the busy center. It's a 10 minutes walk, max, from the main squares. The property is very beautiful, the wifi works well and the breakfast is very good. They were nice enough to let us park our car at the back of the hostel.
The only thing we could say we didn't like is we had to sleep with earplugs as we heard noise from the other side of the wall, which seemed to be the neighbors watching tv. Not much to do about it as the building is old, so it's not too bad.
4.5 / 5.0
The staff are amazing they are constantly scrubbing the place clean. Breakfast is sooo good and everyone was so friendly. It is complete silence at night altough if your not a morning person I wouldn't recommend because everyone was early risers when we went which suited us!
The beds weren't the comfiest

Breakfast was really good
I had a fair bit of money go missing from my room whilst I was there I have contacted the hostel and nothing had been done. Very disappointed with how they habe handled it as it could only be someone with access to my room. If stay be very careful of everyone there.
4.5 / 5.0
Perfect location.
Lovely breakfast, the lady who cooks it was very friendly and helpful
Good communal areas and a hidden away fireplace inside which was needed come the evenings.
Beds were comfy, and the room was spacious.
A number of toilets too
Our bunk room was very cold. We were given a few rugs to put over the top of the bed to keep us warm, but it still was very cold. I would recommend sleeping in a jumper and socks as well.
The weather here is certainly lower than elsewhere we had travelled and we had expected this.
4.5 / 5.0
the private room was huge! Very clean. Bed was very good as well. Nice breakfast included (cereal, toast, fruit, eggs). You can book tours at reception. Strong wifi. Quiet area just outside the city center. Free purified water (you need this in San Cristobal).

Well located, nice breakfast and lots of tours on offer from the hostel
The water pressure in our nearest shower was bad and the water was often cold. We had a miscommunication when booking a tour with the hostel, which meant we were unable to do the tour we wanted during our stay

Great vibe and staff

Nicely designed and feels very welcoming.
Staff started to wash right behind our dorm at 6pm
