Fantastic hostel with very nice private rooms. Best kitchen facilities I have ever seen at an affordable hostel. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The entire place is spotlessly clean. Great location, only a few minutes walk to all the main attractions in El Centro.

Casa San Cristóbal, hotel in San Cristóbal de Las Casas

Casa San Cristóbal provides rooms in San Cristóbal de Las Casas near Santo Domingo Church San Cristobal de las Casas and La Merced Church.

Loved staying here. I think it had been recently renovated as everything seemed new. I had a single room that was very comfortable without being claustrophobic. It had storage and its own bathroom. Exceptionally clean and modern. There was a communal kitchen too with all modern facilities. Towels were white and soft (unlike lots of places I've stayed). There s also a communal lounge downstairs with a tv and a nice roof terrace. Angel was very friendly. Would highly recommend.

    Great location, a short walk from town and from the bus terminal. Beautiful building with terrace. Staff available 24/7 so we could drop our bags at 5am when we arrived in San Cristobal. You can arrange tours through the hostel - we did the canyon tour which was great and much cheaper than any of the options I found online. Great value room - I think a lot of the buildings in San Cristobal suffer from damp but they've obviously taken steps to address and prevent this in our room.

    Great hostel with chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. The kitchen has everything you need and enough space to store food. The bunk beds were in good condition and felt comfortable. The space and bathrooms always clean, with hot water. Great location, close to the centre, but also there are a lot of other restaurants and facilities close by. Great value for money!

    Very well run backpacker hostel. Comfortable beds, bright rooms, good breakfast and excellent dinner included, lots of activities and excursions, cheap bar, entertainment, decent kitchen - all made even better by pleasant and professional staff and volunteers. Location is great too. The whole place is set up to meet fellow travelers, have things to do, but also if you want to be on your own, read or work at your computer it's good for that too.

    Qhia is the best hostel I've been at, its full of lovely people and managed by a sweet person. Its rather small and feels intimate. All the public spaces were neatly clean and people respected that. It is very close to the market and the neighbourhood feels safe.
