Villas Casa Morada: Comfortable and Quiet Private Suites

I found Villas Casa Morada more or less by chance, but I'm glad I did. The hotel is very modern inside and the staff is helpful and polite. San Cristobal is a relatively small town, so the fact that the hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from the main center should not distract you. The hotel is on a quiet street and most of the rooms face an inner courtyard.

They have a secured parking lot if you come by car. For added security, the front door is locked at all times, but they will open the door 24-hrs a day when you knock or ring the bell. The rooms were very clean.

Unique Quality: My first stay here was in the Junior Suite. The room had a fireplace (wood provided for 30MX), kitchen and a separate living area. The bed may have been on the slightly smaller size (a double bed, not recommended for overly large/tall people), the bed was extremely comfortable.

The second stay here was in the Deluxe King room. For the same price as the Junior Suite, this room did not have the kitchen or living area. The bed was a large comfortable king, but the room did not face the courtyards and did not have windows that opened to the outside for ventilation.

I suggest the Junior Suites. All guests will have free WiFi.

If it is busy, they will have a basic breakfast buffet is available either as an add-on or included depending on your reservation. If they are relatively quiet, just sit and they will bring breakfast to you (fruit, yogurt, eggs, toast, juice, coffee).

Backpackers Hostel: Backpackers Hostel private room

I liked this Hostel very much.
My room was very cold at night but there where enough blankets. It is colder in this city because it is higher. Also some earplugs can be needed. You can hear some dogs and chickens from outside the hostel.

Unique Quality: It has a nice kitchen and there are about 6 garbagecans. fruit/vegable, paper, glass, aluminium, plastic and rest garbage. so you can recycle here.
Alos they have a project for dogs and cats. like castration you can donate in a small box at the computer. Free internet. Campfire. You can fill your botlle with good water for a few pesos.
I had a private room for myself room nr 10.
paid 1064 pesos for 4 nights

Hostal "Posada 5": Seriously nice !!

It’s one of the most beautiful hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Everything’s clean, organized. The view from the main dorm is awesome. You can use the kitchen, but in this case… you’ll find plenty of spices to cook yourself a nice meal, not just those tasteless noodles!

It’s a few blocks from where everything is … the fruit market, the ‘zócalo’, 20 de Noviembre and Hidalgo (where all the main bars and restaurants are).

And it’s also very cheap … I paid $50 (less than USD 5)!!

Hotel Delgadillo: Difficult to find but great value

We arrived to San Cristobal early in the morning, so we had a lot of time to look around for a good hotel. As we were having coffee in the small restaurant next to the bus station, the old lady there recommended this hotel to us. I usually don't fall for these tricks, but this time we checked the place out just for the sake of doing it. Looked decent - but we still wanted to look more and see what is available.

After 2 hours of searching, we figured that hotel Delgadillo has the best value for the money so we returned and stayed there for next 4 nights.

Unique Quality: Hotel is 3-4 minutes walk away from the bus station and 7-8 minutes walk to main town's plaza, but still in a very quiet area. It seems that people can't find this hotel as we were the only guests there during our stay. Room was nicely decorated and clean - so I had no complaints. The only downfall was that is was freezing in the room - but that is the problem in entire town not just this hotel. There is no heating system in San Cristobal.

Receptionist man was very friendly and helfpul.

2 bed room with bathroom US$18
single room with bathroom US$11 (these are off - season prices though)
