A charming hotel set in an old colonial building. The room was lovely, spacious and with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast choice was limited but the food was very good as was the food served up in the evening. The hotel is in a central location so easy to walk to the central squares and pedestrianised streets. The town is ata altitude so can be cold at night but the room was at a pleasant temperature. It was a bit cold in the courtyard in the evening but was atmospheric. I would highly recommend this hotel.

“Rustic boutique-style hotel”

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 … lisää

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 as I said I quite liked it. The restaurant and bar both spilled attractive seats and tables into the courtyard with impressive standalone open fires adding colour. The buffet was limited but hot egg dishes were cooked to order and delivered to your table. Hotel location was pretty good, two minutes walk from the main square. Added note for history, noted author Graham Greene was a previous resident and has a wall note commemorating the fact among other famous ex-residents. Our Man in Mexico.

This is a tranquil place to stay, especially the courtyard. When one is on a trip, visiting and travelling from places to places; it is wonderful to take a relaxing break in the courtyard. The hotel staffs are pleasant and very helpful. You can arrange day trips with the hotel staff. My only suggestion to the hotel management is contract with a better-quality tour company. Here comes the best part of this hotel. It has restaurant Tarumba. Chef Jorge is a gastronomic magician, no exaggeration. So good, it can't be express in words. We have been to many places in Mexico, including Mexico City many times. On this trip, we have meals in other San Christobal restaurants during our stay. The end result is there is no point to try any more other restaurants. So, we decided having our last two dinners in here. In addition, Cristina and Victoria were very attentive and patient with our broken Spanish. Nevertheless, we became friends. Opps, how can I forget to mention Antonio; always gave my wife a bit more wine! We shall be back.

“Good quality hotel but noisy”

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 night and starting early in the morning. Unfortunately, we were copping it from both sides as the corridors are tiled as is the courtyard - we heard every single person coming in way past midnight and then groups of people departing very early in the morning. We asked to change the room but were told that they are full. At the end we just hated the hotel due to the fact that we slept about 3 hours both nights we were there. The positives - hotel is stylish, well looked after, excellent location.
