For the price this is a terrific deal. Nice rooms, friendly owner/staff and choice of large breakfasts are included as well. They also offer tours (although we didn't take any) and you can book your bus tickets through them. A fair bit of street noise so ear plugs are useful (could be said almost anywhere in Mexico, though). Highly recommended. More

Comfortable hostel, quite close to the main plaza and pedestrian street. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Yes, they mention the tours that you can buy through them but they are hardly pushy about it - and their prices are exactly the same as if you bought the tours directly from the tour operator (who won't then necessary pick...

The B&Bs main building (with reception and breakfast) is more attractive than the second building we stayed in over the road. We had a private room, which was very small, and the small window was overgrown with vines so couldn't be closed properly. The private bathroom we had flooded during every shower as the curtain wasn't big enough and there... More

Average hostel or/ and B&B in a disappointing city. The hostel info fail to mention that the gite has two properties, the main building where the courtyard is located and down the road in what seems to be a converted garage. In this last one ,most of the common areas where flooded permanently making risky trips to bathrooms and everywhere.... More

My husband and I spent one night in a simple but clean and comfortable room with a shower and toilet ensuite, it's well located and the staff is very helpful and friendly, they speak English, French, Spanish. Breakfast was simple but very good. They offer tours to nearby attractions and you may book buses at the same prices as the... More

Its an ok place, what you would expect for the price. Bathrooms are shared but fortunately clean, the room is tiny yet clean as well, the window is small, the doors are terribly noisy (at nights it can be annoying), the breakfast is normal, nothing special, and what I found dissapointing was the supposedly (from the reviews) really friendly staff...

We travelled for 24 days through Chiapas and Guatemala and this was by far the worst stay on our trip.I do not get the picture why some people rave about this location. We stayed in room #6 where you can hear every single car pass by through night long. The lady seemed nice but is more interested to sell tours.The... More

I stayed in the building over the street in a double room. The rooms could do with a little decoration and a fourth blanket would be handy when a couple, but thats nit picking really given the price. Bathrooms, showers always tidy and staff seemed to be constantly cleaning. I never used the kitchen so cant comment though looked ok... More

My mom and I stayed here during the high season and paid $320 total for a double. Our room had one queen-sized bed, a bunk bed, skylights that lit the room fairly well, and a bathroom-shower within the room. There wasn't really any outside ventilation so any smells/humidity from the bathroom stayed in the room, which was the only thing... More

I stayed in a private room that only cost me 180 MXN that had a bathroom and a shower wifi internet and plugs.. this is great considering that I paid the same price to stay in a shared dorm in a different hostel across town. The breakfast is extensive and great AND they serve it to you! Staff was nice... More
