Excelente ubicación, a una cuadra de la catedral, sobre el andador Guadalupe. A pesar de tener tv por cable y pantalla plana. Los canales sé ven muy muy mal. Y algunas zonas principalmente las esquinas tenían telarañas.

Excellent location close to the zocalo, and very clean and conveniently located in the walking corridor attached to the main square. Budget conscious will be pleased, at my visit it was around $13 U.S. The rooms are quite small, which is okay for me, and carpeted. The two TV remotes didn't work to turn on the digital TV -deposit 100 pesos. Also they had no trash receptacle in the room which made it very inconvenient for me to dispose of trash. It was very noisy Saturday and Sunday nights, until around midnight. Someone was arguing one morning with the manager. The bathroom was pleasing to the eye, and the shower has a sliding door instead of a curtain, though it was difficult to open and close. The shower was almost like a sauna when the steam accumulates. No ceiling fan as most places in San Cristobal don't need them. It was cold last night, approximately 54 f degrees outside but I was not too cold in my room. The blankets are very thin so I recommend you bring one of your own. The curtains are too thin so the light comes into your room, but she turned off the lights later. This place is about two blocks from many of the finer restaurants of San Cristobal and the Cafe Carajillo is directly across the street, as is a good panaderia. Reccommended. Good choice for budget travelers.

Es un buen lugar para hospedarse, es económico, limpio, céntrico y seguro, aunque las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas; sin embargo, resulta una excelente opción para alojarse. Sin duda es una gran elección.

Private bathroom, TV and fair internet. Clean and comfortable room. I think it was about MXN 250. Located amongst tour operators and restaurants. It's walking distance from the market, supermarket and bus stop. It's a bit awkward getting up the steep steps if you're on the top floor. Overall I would recommend. This was my favorite of the five or so hotels and Airbnbs I used in the city.

Un lugar cómodo,con excelente ubicación, ideal para salir a turistear y llegar a dormir en san Cristobal, es muy económico (para dos personas), limpio, tiene agua caliente (que es lo más importante), atenta atención. Quizá pueda mejorar con algún convenio con algún restaurante para desayunar o cenar para los que se van de tour, o Servicio de cafeteria. Pero en general, es altamente recomendable.
