Reviews of Posada del Abuelito (Hostel)

Very nice and beautiful oasis in the middle of the city, the staff is very kind and welcoming!

Great location in the centre but very quiet. Very friendly staff. Nice breakfast and purified water. Room was small but tidy. Great shower. Organised some quiet activities and you could book several tours with them.

The bed was quite hard and the pillows quite thin.

The hostel was well set up and comfortable, good breakfast in the mornings and a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. Staff were mostly friendly - the ladies who checked us in and out were super lovely!

The guy at the front desk wasn't very helpful when asking about tours/getting around unfortunately, and one of the older women knocked on our door at 9pm one night to say something that sounded quite aggressive in Spanish - when we didn't understand she just walked off. It was quite disconcerting. She also made cooking in the kitchen a stressful experience as she critically watched every attempt to cook Mexican food!!

Great hostel! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they offer really good breakfast. Variety of accomodations.

Excellent breakfast. Comfortable common areas. Nice programming to try to create community. Friendly staff. Good location.

Private room + bathroom was very small for a couple.

Exceptional accommodation. I felt at home straight away. The staff was super nice and always available. The sanitarys and rooms were very clean. The breakfast was very tasty. You could have eggs the way you liked them with beans and then you could Take bread, marmelade, fruits how much you liked. The marmelade was homemade and delicious. The Garden was nice with different corners for relaxing. Roof top acces. (Nice place for yoga if have a mat. Tour bookings possible and better prize than some agencys. Activities with hostel staff like cooking classes available. Movie night was great.  And all for a really good price. I would come again any time.

Wonderful hostel! I stayed in a private room. Everything is very clean and the property tidy. The breakfast is simple, but delicious. The staff are very helpful in assisting with tours, things to do in San Cristobal, etc. Definitely recommend if you are planning a trip to San Cris!

Nothing! Everything was excellent

Someone already mentioned here that the accommodation was nice, but they didn't feel welcome. I have to agree. There was a "strange" community of people staying here.

Everything

Cozy, warm and very well-run place. The service is excellent and the breakfast delicious. The old house and traditional set up of the place combined with the perfect location makes this place must visit if in San Cristóbal!

The hostel is beautiful, staff are so nice and the included breakfast was very good! Our mattress was broken or sunken on one side so it was uncomfortable, but I don’t think that’s the case in every room. The bathrooms are very clean and so is the common kitchen.

It was very cold in my room at night, the guy at reception didn't look very happy to do his job but the ladies were nice, cleaning ladies were nice as well. Breakfast is a little bit chaotic and disorganised. I just felt like something is missing at this place. Didn't feel it xD it's in a very quiet location, a little bit further from the center, but there is nice restaurants around, very nice and cheap laundry place on the corner of the street and museum of cacao. Booked a tour to Chamula through the hostel and it was the highlight of my days in San Cristobal (very good one!) but I wouldn't recommend the tour to Canyons (I found this one boooring with lots of time in the bus and some stops in the shops). Soooo it was a good place to stay but not the best..

I absolutely love the staff, the breakfast, the beautiful space and how peaceful it is!! I 100% recommend this place. By far, one of my favorite places I’ve stayed during my travels.

Nothing!
