  Old-World Spanish-Colonial Charm...

  12 Apr 2026

  Nice atmospheric old Spanish-colonial style buildings, close to the historic centre of San Cristobal. Rooms large, clean and old, but charming and sympathetically modernised. For the history buffs, Graham Greene used to have a room here ( "Our Man in San Cristobal de Las Casas") as a long-term resident. There is also a highly-rated chef/restaurant in-house, with a reasonably-priced menu. Breakfast… Read moreNice atmospheric old Spanish-colonial style buildings, close to the historic centre of San Cristobal. Rooms large, clean and old, but charming and sympathetically modernised.

  Pretty and comfy hotel.

  22 Mar 2026

  Hotel is centrally located and beautifully decorated lobby area with fire pits at night near the restaurant making a lovely setting for dinner. Staff was extremely attentive. There are many rooms, lots of hallways and stairs so not the best for someone physically challenged. Rooms were large, interior window so rooms were on the dark side in spite of several lights in room. AC worked fantastic.

  Good quality hotel but noisy

  25 Dec 2025

  First impressions - nice hotel, old sprawling villa/mansion converted into a hotel, entrance leads you past a reception into a central courtyard with trees and plants. Stylish room but - our room was located on the ground floor just off the internal courtyard and windows facing the street with lots of pedestrians seeing right into your room. The street is quite busy with traffic long into the nigh… Read moreFirst impressions - nice hotel, old sprawling villa/mansion converted into a hotel, entrance leads you past a reception into a central courtyard with trees and plants.

  Rustic boutique-style hotel

  02 Feb 2025

  I liked it, but my partner didn't. It was boutique-style hotel surrounding in internal paved garden courtyard (which was lovely). The room was along a corridor and felt a bit like a monk's cell. No external windows just a wooden shutter opening to the corridor. Room and bathroom felt a bit compact and dingy. Noise insulation was minimal. Wouldn't fancy it if a stag party was in the premises. But a… Read moreI liked it, but my partner didn't. It was boutique-style hotel surrounding in internal paved garden courtyard (which was lovely).

  We Visited only the restaurant, it was amazing

  28 Dec 2024

  We didn't stay here, we visited just for dinner as a group of 20. Hotel and restaurant seemed very nice and luxurious. Food was amazing and employees were friendly. Located in the center of the town. We didn't have any safety issues. Since we visited as a group, I am blind to the prices.
