The hotel is run by 2 very nice siblings. Everything is very lovingly and accommodatingly furnished. I am very excited and felt at home as soon as I arrived!!! I will definitely come back when I'm in San Cristobal again. It's also a good place to let go of stress (there's also a meditation and yoga room).

Perfect little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the center. So clean, so peaceful and just incredibly beautiful. A nice touch are the rooms for yoga and meditation that you can use whenever you want to. Breakfast was good, everything you need in the morning. The staff are super kind, welcoming, professional and warm hearted. The bed was honestly the most comfortable bed I have slept in in my life! Like sleeping on a cloud. If you want some quiet and a place to recharge and feel at home, look no further :)

This charming little hotel offers very fair prices and boasts a super central location. I stayed in a two-level cabana with a cozy living area and bathroom on the lower floor, and a super comfy bed upstairs. I slept really well! The room included a small coffee machine and drinking water, which I greatly appreciated. The shower was excellent, with really hot water and solid water pressure. I enjoyed the hotel's pleasant common areas, including a rooftop and a semi-covered area with tables where you can even work, complete with available plugs. The staff was always friendly and easy-going. I was able to extend my stay without any issues and could store my luggage and use the common area before my night bus, which I highly appreciated! There were a few minor downsides: a construction site behind my room caused some noise during the day, and there was a nearby karaoke party on Saturday night—though not the hotel's fault. Unfortunately, the WiFi was very weak, almost unusable with download speeds typically less than 1 Mbps. If you need reliable internet for remote work, this isn't the place for you, though this issue is fixable as nearby coffee shops have better WiFi. Another small issue was the bathroom mirror, which was mounted too low, making shaving a bit tricky but manageable. I'd book here again, but please invest in better WiFi!

It was a house before but it's a hotel now. It's clean and you can guess that it has a lot of memories. Reception is only open till 10pm but they will give you a key to front door so it will not be a problem. I got there at 11pm and I was late for check in and I couldn't find the address too. I called them and they were kind enough to pick me up at the corner and check me in. There is wifi and shared bathrooms.
