San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico skyline: the 42 most iconic buildings and best views in San Cristobal de las Casas

Historically significant cathedral that has some great artwork depicting various saints, but otherwise very plain. Outside the church are numerous venders giving the location the feel of a festival during the weekends. While there is a road up to the cathedral, I found the lengthy switchback stairs in the front a great challenge and exhilarating exercise.

The main church on the Dan Cristobal. About 300 years old. Lots of shops and coffee places, shopping area around it. I did the walking tour from here.

Incredible piece of history. I had the bad fortune to visit this place after the devastating earthquake of 2017 and it was closed but the facade remains a powerful sight.

The diversity carruedvin business and culture..not forgetting the outdoors colors in houses and businesses

Amazing place with an inner magical energy.

Couldn’t go inside because it was under maintenance, but it looks beautiful from the outside.

It’s really a very cute small awesome town worth to go there try their cafés and vegan quesadillas

Great view over San Cristóbal - for the most part. Unfortunately, trees block the way in all directions except to the front where the stairs are. Hence, it is not really worth it to go up here for the sunset. Yet, the church is a beautiful landmark which is well worth a visit - during the day. Also, for the fitness enthusiasts, the stairs are a great place to go for a work out in the mornings. You’ll love the view even more after having finished all stairs ten or fifteen times in a row… ;)

Very nice hike, if you choose to go thru the Sierra instead from the city side. The place is peaceful and beautiful. Provides a complete view of San Cristobal from up there.

One of the most special places in San Cris. It's generally quiet, a wonderful place for meditation, yoga, exercise, sitting with friends.

Beautiful walk up, not a lot of view from above.

The kids counted 280 steps. Good! We did our math for the day. Haha, joking. Trees cover most of the view but it was still beautiful, quiet and sweet. You could also just drive up but if you can do the steps then just do it.

Great exercise because it is quite a climb! The view is pretty great once there. Walk around the back of the church to see the communal gardens from above.

Nice climb up to the church. Church is nice and you get a bit of a view. So nice street art of murals on the walls aswell

Nice church from the outside. Not always open and the way towards the church... mind your wallet, you will spent money on the souvenir market 🤣🤣 we went back twice and everytime my wallet was emptier than when I went

Interesting well decorated front wall. Entrance is on the side. Inside a big wooden wall with gold paint. Never seen these solutions before.

I love this architecture piece of jewel. 🌻✨

beatufiful and quiet church, is astonishing both outside and inside. not recommended for tourists as you could be interrupting the peace and quietness of the people inside

Don’t miss this church, museum and the market around!

Beautiful church but hard to appreciate at the moment. Closed off for renovations and you can't go inside (just like the cathedral). You can't even appreciate what's left to see from the outside, since the surrounding areas normally belonging to the church are now fully "squatted" by the "artisanal market".

This Church was restored and is one of the most beautiful on Chiapas. The monastery with its church was built in the 16th century, with the monastery secularized later. The church retains its original function. The building with two courtyards was restored between 1999 and 2002 to become a community and cultural center, with the Museo de la Laca, founded in 1952, moved inside to take up much of the upper floor. This museum contains about 450 pieces from various parts of Mexico and Asia, mostly made in the 20th century. The complex also contains halls with permanent and temporary exhibits along with an auditorium and various types of workshops. The former monastery complex was built along with the Santo Domingo church on a small hill overlooking the Grijalva River, in the second half of the 16th century, attributed to Pedro de Barrientos and Juan Alonso. The church portion is one of the best preserved from the 16th century in Chiapas. The former monastery is behind the large church with two main courtyards. It was secularized during the Reform War with the church retaining its original function. It underwent its most recent restoration between 1999 and 2002 in order to make it a community and cultural center for the city of Chiapa de Corzo, with the Museo de la Laca moving into it. It, along with other facilities and operations, is managed by the Consejo Estatal para la Cultura y la Artes of Chiapas (CONECULTA). The entire building is officially called the Casa Escuela de Tradiciones but it is most commonly called the Museo de la Laca, although this museum only takes up most of the upper floor.

Very interesting geological and cultural / anthropological displays of the history of jade in Mesoamerica. The English option is a simple booklet with translations of the signs. However, in the extremely dark exhibit halls, it's nearly impossible to read and to match up with the maps and artifacts. If you're lucky, you'll see a craftsman working but there is no interaction or explanation and, as much of the machinery is very loud and their have headphones and we don't, it doesn't encourage you to linger and watch. There was a sign advertising free Mexican liguor tastings but nothing was offered. Many options for purchase. Worth a short visit for good overview.

The museum was quite an interesting place to visit! It had a wide array of fascinating exhibits that captured my attention. However, I found it a bit disappointing that the guide provided all the information at the very beginning of the tour and then simply left us to explore on our own. This approach made it challenging to fully appreciate the details and context of each exhibit as we moved through the museum. Despite this, there were still many cool and intriguing items to see, which made the visit worthwhile.

The museum has a lot of potential and there's still some space to improve, that's why the 4 stars!

Enjoyed our visit to this museum where you will not only learn about jade but also about how various cultures used and appreciated the gem. Quite interesting. The museum store sells real jade so don't expect street and market prices. Low entrance fee. Allow one to 1.5 hours.

I don't know why this place got low reviews. It was small and yes, the pieces are reproductions, but it was highly informative and a fascinting blend of mesoamerican and geological history. They even had an English booklet to translate all the signs. There's a replication of Pakal's funeral tomb at the back which was also beautiful both for history buffs and the casual visitor alike. The gift shop was very expensive but treated like an extension of the museum (especially with the live, built-workshop) it was lovely to look at. Plus you get a discount at the Kakao museum with your ticket from here which makes for a nice afternoon combined.

Lots of pre-Columbian examples of jade statues, masks, figurines. Worth the 30 pesos. Much more than the pics posted.

Small cheap museum - quite kitsch - worth popping in if you are next to it but I wouldn’t put it at the top of your list.

Nice place just to see people walk and living there life's, nice place to meditate about live.

This place like so many others in San Cristobal is closed and no entry available. Such a shame to see so many beautiful buildings closed

Pretty place if you get a chance to walk past it.

One of favorite sites off the beaten trail. Just a perfectly designed building.

Kind of a cool little cultural area.

its pretty low vibe for what it could easily be

It is fenced and you cannot pass under it.

A little disappointed, I read it was supposed to be a 3 hour visit but in reality it has very few pieces. The place is beautiful and the few pieces and specimens there are also beautiful and special however I would have liked more information on the trees and production, shaping and polishing. There is a video playing in loop with this information but I would have liked more hands on information.

This museum is a brand new museum, the building was a convent and an army station. About the ambar collection is significant and almost the information about how important ambar rock is important in Chiapas state. The visit is worth it, and entrance money is visible because the building is going through reconstruction.

I can't spend hours and hours in museums, especially when I have my teenage children with me, so this one was perfect: only $50 pesos to enter, and it has one large room with plenty of amber on display (see photos in other reviews) and enough information to tell the story of amber, from it's composition and formation, to mining and uses. It's definitely not overwhelming, but informative enough to know a bit more about amber. The videos were not working when we went through. The shop was very extensive as well, and didn't seem expensive. They also provide a certificate of authenticity with each piece we purchased. I love that they are restoring ex convents and housing museums in them. This ex-convent is being restored by a civil association and depends on donations and the entry fees of the amber museum to continue their efforts. But it's also cool to see the one finished side and the unfinished side opposite.

Beautiful collection of amber in a gorgeous convent currently under renovation, located in a charming hilly neighborhood.

A Must-Visit in San Cristobal. This museum is in a historical building convent. It keeps the most Amazing unique Amber collection with pride and care. If you are curious to see (or purchase) this million-years old rock this is a great place. We have visit the workshop and discussed with the artists that worked on the pieces and its director and curator. It was a great and authentic experience. We highly recommend you visit this place.

The Museum is very nice For a reasonable ~50 MEX pesos you can have a look at tons of beautiful pieces of amber, including fossils and intricate sculptures, there is a english brochure that they give you ( if you ask) and that helps for non-spanish speakers.

Nice, compact museum dedicated to Amber. Most of the focus is Chiapas. They also discuss the global history and use of amber. The building is historic which used to be a convent then later a prison. Fee is inexpensive, less than 2 USD. Allow at least an hour or 1.5 hours. Nice shop which includes certificate of authenticity. Staff is attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Learn here before buying on the street or in the market. Spend a few minutes watching the videos at the end of the exhibit.

An Outstanding Textile Museum – A Must-Visit for History and Culture Enthusiasts! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible textile museum, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. Best of all, entry was completely free, making it accessible to everyone. The museum is packed with a diverse range of exhibits, showcasing the rich history of textiles from various cultures and eras. Each display was thoughtfully curated, offering fascinating insights into traditional craftsmanship, techniques, and the cultural significance of textiles around the world. The building itself is a stunning piece of architecture, adding to the overall experience. Its elegant design and historic charm create a perfect setting for the exhibits. Unlike some other museums like the jade and amber museums, which often feel more like shops selling souvenirs, this museum is dedicated solely to education and preservation. It offers a genuine, immersive experience that truly highlights the artistry and cultural importance of textiles. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking for an enriching day out, this museum is definitely worth a visit. It’s a wonderful place to learn, appreciate craftsmanship, and enjoy a peaceful stroll through history. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area!

Incredible experience! One of the highlights of my trip to San Cristóbal! It’s fabulous to see the talent the pattern makers possess and it’s free! Don’t miss it 🤩🕺🏻

It's a nice, informative museum in an impressive building with good view of the city. I recently took a sewing course, so there was plenty of colour, stitch and pattern to study. I was there around 4pm on a Thursday, and I was the only one inside.

The "Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya" was an amazing experience. We came on a Sunday so the admission fee was free (0$ only on Sundays). It was a beautiful collection of textiles and artifacts from Guatemala and Mexico, I spent hours looking through their amazing collection of fabrics and weavings and quilts.

If you want to learn about San Cristobal's history this is a good place to start. They have in exhibition ceramic sculptures of the first civilization in the state also they have artifacts from the Spanish Conquest, but the best and my favourite part is the Textile exhibition, it's not a big exhibition but it has a lot of different textiles from Chiapas and from Guatemala.

The best textile museum I've been to in Mexico, absolutely top quality. Free to get in. Excellent ancient relics. Do not miss out.

FANTASTIC museum! One of the best museums dedicated to textiles I have ever been to (and I have been to many in many countries). Huge collection, wonderful service by the staff; you can see the reverence the Mayan textiles and its history are treated with. A favorite place in SanCris, and in México. GRACIAS for allowing us to witness the talent of such a marvelous culture.

Architecture not outstanding but inside very interesting as this community retain rituals, combining traditional beliefs and Catholicism which is unique . No photos allowed inside the church. No photos of people within the village boundaries(unless at distance by general inclusion) Lots of candles lit in the church, floor strewn with pine fronds, beware floaty dresses/palazzo trousers ! Visited as part of a group tour. Specialist leatherwork on display in the shops.

I had a super great experience overall! The atmosphere was fantastic, and everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the entire visit even more enjoyable. However, one downside was that videos weren’t allowed inside, which was a bit disappointing because I wanted to capture some special moments to look back on. Despite that, the memorable experience more than made up for it, and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

i was here as a part of a day tour from san Christobal. Good experience as it show cases a culturally different community and still not touristy. it's a living community with a different culture but so close to the city of San Cristobal. the church is open to all and the rituals are wellcome for all to see. photography is not allowed inside the church though

Very Interesting! I have never seen anything like it! There was a large festival happening, so, markets, music and the church left such an impression, with the dark interior, smoke, incense, hay strewn everywhere, chicken sacrifices. This is definitely a must see!

When people say it is an unique experience, they meant it. This is the story of a people who fought for its right to freedom of belief and stood against the Spanish, the Mexican nationalist forces, the Catholic Church and the state - and won. Don't treat their customs like it's a freak show. Everything here has a deep meaning behind.

Very very interesting church and community. You can go here yourself or you can get a guided tour at 9:30am from San Christobel de Las Casas, that will also take you to Zinacatan and explain the customs and their differences. The tour I took leaves from the cross in the main square at San Christobel every morning and you can just show up. Cost was 250 pesos and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and his English very good. Many other tours have no guides or no English spoken. This was a great opportunity to learn about the Mayan culture as it still lives today.

Yes, it is authentic, but somehow also feels like just another charismatic town, and with not much to do there. We visited the church and then went for a healer (shaman) session. The church is interesting as combines many religiones and exhibits roots to very old beliefs. The healer thing was quite weird, as the guy could not really tell us what did he feel on us in terms of energy , or advice… he just gave the same comment to each of us, which made it feel as a bit of a scam. I’d definitely skip visiting chamula as Chiapas has plenty of other places worth spending more time on than this town.

I visited the museum, not the hotel. Although the museum is quite small, I spent about 30 minutes there. The exhibitions are well-curated, with information available also in English, and the building itself is beautiful. It's a nice spot if you have some spare time, but not a must-see in my opinion. It's conveniently within walking distance, and you won't need much time to explore it. Restrooms are available. A side note: it would be helpful if they could separate the museum and hotel on Google Maps to make reviews for each more distinct.

I went to visit the museum, and it is a truly amazing experience. The place itself is wonderful. Every room with information and pictures is delightful and, of course, to learn about all expeditions that Gertrude and Frans made to the Lacandon Maya Jungle is incredible.

Very interesting hotel with a deep history of indigenous people! It's a bit far from the city center, but it's worth staying there and supporting indigenous business! Price is very reasonable! Don't forget to check out their museum, back garden and chapel

Wow! You have to check out his museum and garden. The fact that they also have a small cafe and restaurant in the middle that is so quiet is just a bonus.

Lovely little museum! The story of the owners is truly inspiring. Recommend to anyone interested in the indigenous culture and history of Chiapas 🙏

One of my favorite little museums and gardens in San Cristobal. Wonderful place to meander and learn the history of this inspiring Swiss woman (and a bit on her Danish husband) and of many of the indigenous people they befriended and advocated on behalf of from the 1950s onwards. The gardens are a lovely place to sit in or to wander and be inspired. There is a small hotel and restaurant and a few other options here, all of which are on the grounds and in the original house where this couple and their adopted Mexican daughter lived and worked for decades.

Amazing museum to visits. It’s both a beautiful building and a record of two explores lives. Don’t miss it.

Kinoki is a truly stunning place to see sunset. They have a wonderful tea selection and great service. Their food is okay, not bad my any means but certainly not going to be the best food in Mexico. It's truly a wonderful cultural space to support local artisans and community while also enjoying the gorgeous landscape that San Cristóbal has to offer.

I got just in time to find out a movie was about to being, we ordered Ham & Cheese Sandwich which was pretty good and drinks, started watching the movie with the complimentary popcorn and they brought the food to us. Definitely a good experience!

Their patios and especially the rooftop patio are the real stars here. They have a good tea, coffee and drinks menu. This is a favorite spot of mine to enjoy drinks and the view. The food is okay. Good pizza seems difficult to replicate in San Cristóbal. Service is usually attentive, prices are fair. I would recommend the drinks and the view.

Super charming place to watch a sunset! Wished we had more time to go to a movie here too, maybe next time!

We were here twice to watch the sunset on the terrace. The view is very nice and when it gets a little colder, you get ponchos. The prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful, but a little bit slow. In the same building there is also a cinema where you can watch independent movies.

The food is ok, but the view and atmosphere is great!

Great location with a really cool vibe inside. The place is on the 2nd floor with lots of windows to enjoy the view and terrace for small tables of two. Not yet servicing alcohol, but good service and pizza.

The experience was truly enjoyable and pleasantly surprising, as it turned out to be a workout that was not overly strenuous or difficult. It struck a perfect balance between being engaging and manageable, allowing for a satisfying session without feeling overly exhausted or overwhelmed. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the activities were well-paced, making it an overall delightful experience that I would definitely consider repeating in the future.

Beautiful Church and very beautiful panoramic sight on the city

A fun but tiring activity to climb the stairs, and the church itself is nice.

A very cute churchy at the top of the hill.. vie s are amazing from here. Lots of cafes and restaurants are around this place. I walked in the morning to this church and the views were beautiful.

A lot of steps and it’s suppose to give a whole view to the town however the trees cover most of it. Nonetheless nice walk and view.

It's a fun place to say you've seen. The steps are daunting but if you have limited mobility you can take a cab to the top and walk down. I've been told if you climb the steps with sincerity in your heart you can ask for a miracle. Inside is the Saint wrapped in ribbons for each miracle requested.

Beautiful church placed on a hill overlooking the city. You have a beautiful view from there, and the steps are an ideal place to rest a little. There are bathrooms next door for 5 pesos.

Not too big but very informative and highly interesting museum on mayan culture and medical practices. Highly recommend to use the paper guides (available at the entrance in different languages) which brings lots of useful info. It is very cheap and worth it! Also recommend to take a cab from the center to reach it as the museum is not in the best part of the city.

Grass Roots effort to preserve culture and knowledge. Could be something more in the future. In 2018 it still has a ways to go as far as an informative museum.

I guess there must be a lot of useful information and material to enrich the museum expositions. However, it looks like an abandoned place. So sad, as the mayan medicine is at the hearth of the ethnic cultures in Chiapas and Yucatán

Horrible!!! Don’t go there! The museum consists of one dark room without any interesting information. We paid 25$ per person for absolutely nothing!

Very exciting and interesting exposition and museum. Nice practical shop with jerbal products. We liked the place! You just need to use translator for some texts in Spanish.

It's a strange place in my opinion. I think that much more info could be provided about the healing plants and maybe provide English captions in the rooms rather than a rather tired book. Unfortunately didn't work for me, though I appreciate their support of indigenous communities and their customs.

The place is very unique and informative, especially for those interested in ancient healing practices. Please not that there are posts online that the museum was closed permanently but they are open again for the public. You can also support by buying herbal remedies made there.

Mass is celebrated on weekdays at 7:30 AM and PM

Nice church.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful temple, wooden details for the floor and ceiling. The people are kind and give you flowers for prayers. Beautiful decoration and fine chandeliers that undoubtedly provide beautiful visuals. (Original) Bello templo, detalles en madera para el piso y el techo. Las personas amables y te regalan flores para los rezos. Bella decoración y finos candelabros que sin duda aportan visuales hermosos.

(Translated by Google) You can get incredible views of the convent from the garden of the hacienda which is part of the amber museum. It's really beautiful. You should definitely visit it. It is a + from San Cristóbal de las Casas (Original) Se pueden obtener vistas increíbles del convento desde el jardín de la hacienda que es parte del museo del ámbar. Es hermoso realmente. Sin duda deben visitarlo. Es un + de San Cristóbal de las Casas

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful place, its classical architecture beautiful and pleasant, you can breathe a lot of peace and tranquility inside the church. (Original) Es un lugar muy bonito, su arquitectura clásica hermosa y agradable, se respira mucha paz y tranquilidad dentro de la iglesia.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful like all the churches in Latin America (Original) Linda como todas las iglesias de Latinoamérica

(Translated by Google) On one side of the amber museum is this church that is closed due to the September earthquake. The esplanade is very beautiful, it has a kiosk and its gardens are well maintained. (Original) A un lado del museo del ámbar se encuentra Está iglesia que debido al sismo de septiembre se encuentra cerrada, la explanada que tiene es muy bonita tiene un kiosko y sus jardines están bien cuidados

This market is an amazing experience...it's take more then 2 day to shop the whole market...lots of fun and great buys

Loved it!! So much better than the crowded tourist areas! The prices are reasonable and you can experience life as a local.

Local markets always interesting!

Good variety of souvenirs....although if you're looking for the authentic local handmade stuff then that's becoming rare, it's a mix of machine produced copies of the original and stuff from Guatemala...nevertheless some good buys and the designs are great.

I needed two times to visit it. Crafts for every wallet, clean , lovely people, food vibes and buena onda. Go4it

We went there a Sunday and half of the shops were closed, hence we might have missed the good shops. However the half of the shops (open that day) is not worth the visit. They all sell the sames cheap souvenirs. This is very disappointing and does not show the craftsmanship of the local artisans.

Highly recommend to stay at this hotel is very clean and affordable prices plus the crew is very friendly and helpful you should ask for Kevin . And all personal will make the great experience food is also good and affordable. So many positive experience . You can stay from 800 pesos pero night or about 45 USD . So relaxing an secure you can be walking along the beach or the street and all residents are very friendly . Love the stay .

If I could give 0 stars I would. Never have I seen a staff so committed to making the guests have a poor experience. They have rooms next to the kitchen and to the cleaning supply closet. At 6am they start banging outside of the room, upon kind request to stop, they never apologized and said they need to operate the (empty) restaurant. Then the gardeners at 7am started banging, again we went to ask if they could kindly do that later, they said yes only to have it one minute later redone. I went to reception to complain again, said we would need to change rooms if we were to stay, they said no problem. We tried to get a few hours of sleep, at 12.30 we went to reception to have the room changed and they said we could go to another hotel but we would be charged the entire stay as it was after checkout time. I showed them the messages where they confirmed the room switch, but nothing. The hotel has beautiful crafts textiles in the reception, we tried to book a tour of the indigenous towns with them specifically asking to see this. Again they confirmed it was possible to then book us in the most expensive tourist trap, exploitation at best of the indigenous people paid like actors to perform for tourists. We said we didn’t want the same company, which I came to learn had 3 stars on google, to take us to Palenque the day after. They said they would refund us for the tour, only to take it back the day after. There are a lot of beautiful hotels in San Cristobal, this is only a missed opportunity

We had an excellent meal here. When we first came in the TV was on and the music was loud and club-style : I asked them to turn off the TV and change the music and they did immediately. Everything was fresh and creative - The nopales appetiser, corn soup and broccoli were particularly good.

Had a great stay at Casa Lum! The hotel's central location near bars, restaurants, and attractions was convenient (10-12 min walk). Professional staff, impeccable service, and a focus on sustainability. The room was beautiful but a bit small and cold. Delicious complimentary breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

This place was beautiful🤍 I loved everything about it. The food was amazing, the interior, the service!! You NEED to go to this restaurant if you are in San Cristobal. You definitely should try the Eggplant Parmesean, it was sooo good that I am for sure going back to have it once more before I leave Chiapas. For desserts, I loved the cheesecake and lemon pie 🍋, but if you were to choose one go with the Lemon! It tasted amazing!!!

Beautiful and friendly hotel in the most interesting and vibrant part of this charming town. The staff is beyond incredible - most helpful, friendly and accommodating. They satisfied every wish and whim. For example, as vegans, we were served a special breakfast, with the chef bringing local veggies from her own garden (try chayotes!) and making delicious dishes just for us. Beautiful rooms. What a great place! You have to stay there when in San Cristobal.

Without doubt the best hotel in San Cristobal de las Casas! Besides being extremely beautiful and unique, the location is absolutely not to compete with. It's walking distance to everything in the city. We even got the most delicious breakfast in bed in our beautiful room to very reasonable prices. The best thing about this hotel though was the service all of the staff were super helpful, kind and smiley. The only problem about this hotel is that you don't want to leave.. Ever🙈 We thank you so much for one of the best experiences, we will definitely be back🤩

Best Hotel Experience in ALL of Chiapas!!!! I brought my mother to Mexico to celebrate her 77th birthday (was her first time visiting Mexico) and the staff at Casa Lum went out of their way to make it special and an unforgettable experience. All of the staff from check in, housekeepers and restaurant were so genuine and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and relaxing, the rooms are spacious and well designed, and the food was amazing. My mother and I felt so welcomed by everyone and we felt very at home during our stay. I also arranged a massage for my mom via the hotel and they sent a wonderful gentleman named Pedro. My mother says it was the best message she’s ever had. Back in April I received devastating news that I have stage 4 cancer and honestly I wasn’t sure this trip was even going to be possible…thankfully I was able to take my mother on this trip and with the help from the amazing people at casa Lum….this really was a once in a lifetime trip. It will always mean so much to my mother and I and if I’m able to next year….we will return to San Cristobal and Casa Lum. I have so much gratitude for all of the staff at Casa Lum, for they truly are the best!

Hotel Bo is without a doubt, the best place we stayed during our trip through Chiapas. Out of the five hotels we visited, this one stood out for its stunning design, cozy rooms, peaceful courtyard and the library was a nice touch that made it hard to leave. The staff was AMAZING —so warm and attentive. They made everything about our stay comfortable and effortless, always going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The food at their restaurant, LUM, was delicious, and the location is perfect—close to town but still so relaxing. The thoughtful touch of gifting each room a handcrafted stuffed animal when we left was the cherry on top. Everyone in our group was pleased with the experience.

The Hotel Bo in Chattanooga is a great place! Starting with Ericka in reservations and working at the registration desk. She is so helpful and friendly! Then, April in the breakfast nook is very friendly. The manager Dale, is without a doubt the most engaged hotel manager I have met. I saw him cleaning the pool, helping clean a room, working the registration desk, and chatting with guests. In addition to the great staff, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable! And my favorite part, the pool is fabulous! Clean and a comfortable temperature. We are looking forward to being back there next year.

This is a very nice place for the money. The staff is professional and kind. A shout out to Erika who checked me in and made me feel welcome. She deserves a raise. The pool and bar area are both very nice. Clean, comfortable rooms!

This cute boutique hotel has been a dream for me and my girlfriend to stay in, although we couldn’t really speak Spanish, the staff was able to speak English and where very kind and helpful in terms of advice and providing service with trustworthy taxi and other services. We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is in the center of the town of San Cristobal, which is very beautiful and safe to visit. Everything in the center is reachable by foot. We would highly recommend to go and explore the historical Mexican beauty!

Located in very quiet area, yet about 10min or less to get main area of town, this is great Hotel to stay. Rooms maybe missing mini-bar (fridge) but service and area will just cover that portion. Stuff are very welcoming and even at late night.

The restaurant at Hotel Bo has been a favorite of ours since our first visit to San Cristobal. In the past we were delighted by the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service. Sadly, our last dining experience at Hotel Bo was one of the worst we’ve had in some time, mostly due to the terrible service. My husband was served his main course and then it took another 30 minutes to receive mine. There were no apologies, and once the problem was obvious, the wait staff disappeared. It was bad.

On 12/09/23 My family and myself attended a wedding at this hotel and we ALL got food poisoning. The only thing we all ate that was the same was at this wedding. We all woke up tremendous stomach aches and diarrhea.

I had a wonderful experience at the Chocolate Museum! Our guide, Roxane, explained everything in English and did an excellent job. She was thorough, engaging, and very friendly. She went into depth, answered all of our questions with patience, and even added humor that made the tour fun and memorable. At the end, we were treated to delicious tastings of chocolate and pox, which were absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!

I liked the museum guide and since we where alone it was better. The staff is very friendly and the chocolate was delicious. I recommend to take the tour that includes a degustation att the end

A fantastic experience taking part in the Bean to Bar chocolate making workshop with Pati. It was a really informative workshop where I learned in depth about the chocolate making process and toasted and ground my own cacao beans. It was a really relaxing, fun workshop that I would recommend to all.

Such a fun experience! We did the Bean to Bar experience and had such a fun time. Roxana was so friendly and engaging. We’ve done chocolate tours and tasting in other places but we’ve never made our own. 100% recommend for anyone visiting San Cristobal de las Casas!

I enjoyed the tour and everything the tour guide explained about the cacao and how it was so sacred to the toltecas and mayans

A must to visit , much better than any cacao museum visited in Mexico , find Ms. Mayari to explain everything in the most professional way. Do not forget to grab some chocolates after the cacao tasting chocolate . 100% worth it as a destination to San Cristobal . Top : if you need English tour , it is available in two groups one 13:00 and the second at 18:00 👌🏻

Really great experience! Lots of different chocolates to try and some interesting facts to go alongside. Would recommend.

The most impressive part of the trip, Don Sergio has dedicated the majority of his life to help the indigenous people in many capacities, as a dermatologist healing wounds (looks like diabetes is an issue among them bue to the excessive consumption of Coca-Cola), building wells and teaching the locals about health care. He acquired the items in the museum over the years.

Fantastic! Dr Castro has an amazing display of Chiapas village costumes, and an excellent slide show of local Festival days. More than that, his commitment to helping burn victims and other sick people in the villages surrounding San Cristobal is phenomenal. Go! Don't miss it!

Sergio was the nicest man in the world. He helped me in a pinch as an American traveler and didn't even charge me. He's the medicine man and so is his assistant. Thank you Sergio

one goes here to meet and talk with sergio castro, a true hero for so many. sergio has been the savior of so many burn victims in san cristobal and communities around this colonial city. he gives selfishly of his time, money and energy to help those who would be left to be scarred from their wounds a true saint for so many. the re is also an excellent collection of traditional clothing, but alas in a sad state of preservation.

Super interesting situation. Doctor Castro is an amazing generous person, very friendly and very welcoming and his collection of Trajes are incredible to see!

This was one museum I'll never forget. The knowledge and the cultural preservation is unparalleled. Do not miss this!

As of now the museum is closed for renovation

We wanted so much to visit this and the maya textiel museum but its closed at 3, with our tour we were always around 4pm.

Ducha great place for cultural interested people

Possibly the largest and best museum of textiles in all of Mexico.

Nice building, thats about it.

Great!

lively corner

(Translated by Google) Downstairs is this museum that has some interesting pieces and upstairs is the textile center of the Mayan world. In my opinion, the lower part could be more modern and have more pieces. What I didn't like is that the people who work at ticket sales kept shouting (without exaggeration) throughout my entire journey downstairs. They were laughing and shouting while they didn't let me concentrate to read and see what they had, I think. that the staff should be more cautious (Original) La parte de abajo es este museo que tiene algunos piezas interesantes y arriba es el centro de textiles del mundo maya. La parte de abajo a mi parecer podría ser más moderna y contar con más piezas. Lo que no me gustó es que se pasaron gritando (sin exagerar) durante todo mi recorrido de abajo las personas que trabajan en la venta de boletos, estaban riendo y gritando mientras a mi no me dejaban concentrarme para leer y ver lo que tenían, creo que debería ser más prudente el personal

The best hamburgers in all San cristobal I've been in cancun but not taste like this, if you try it you'll not regret. They have a menu for lunch and dinner but the prices are so cheap they have to raised for that tasty hamburgers and all the food. In the night they have live music, fair prices for all drinks and the best promos.

I love this place for good food, live music and friendly vibe

The best Margaritas 🍸in the city

Nice place with random music depending on the event you can experience a nice Cabaret concept show.

The KB kombucha is the cats meow. Not a refresco, like so many kombuchas, KB kombucha is the real McCoy. Great locale for rico comida, excellent cocktails, live music, a huge TV for sports and videos and soon KB kombucha.

Great bar! Cheap drinks. Live music around 9pm. However, we went twice and it was too loud, we couldn't hear each other speak so we left shortly after.

Great service and delicious fish and chips. Not sure what the special sauce is, but it is unbelievably delicious. I will definitely be returning to check out the live music, and sample more menu items.

No elevator, no airconditioning, no privacy, and the room had a full trash bin when I got in... The entire hotel is a bit "tired" and needs renovations...

Great location, parking included and amazing customer service by everyone. The hotel has a nice local, authentic touch and all areas were really clean. The room was a bit tight but nicely clean with a nice balcony. We will definitely stay here again if we visit San Cristobal again!

We loved the proximity to San Cris. Enjoyed this hotel alot. The room we had was on the smaller side, but we chose the room:) They have added on over the years to make it a great hotel. Would absolutely recommend staying her in San Cris. Excellent pricing and about 3 blocks from the city center.

I overall liked my stay in this hotel, particularly the location (central but in a quieter street) and the balcony of our room, facing the church and with sun most of the day. Also everything was very cleaned and the room seemed pretty new. What I didn't like is the bed, pretty hard and uncomfortable - at least for me- and the staff of the reception that was not particularly helpful when we asked questions or support (at some point we had to do an international call to block our credit card and they only said to us, with zero empathy, to just go to oxxio).

Great location. Friendly staff, and quite a beautiful place. The internet was spotty at best during my 48 hour stay. Bathrooms are a bit under par in my opinion. Especially because they have open windows facing the hallway, so there's not much privacy there.

I really liked the hotel. Instant check-in, suitcases were delivered to the room very quickly. The staff is professional and attentive. Everything in the room is clean and tidy. There is hot water, but very low water pressure. Wi-Fi in each room, but you need to choose your access point with the maximum signal level. For breakfast I liked the juice of fresh oranges and scrambled eggs with bacon.

Hello everyone, I am a frequent traveler, my husband and I are always trying new places. This hotel is so frocking cute,Govea the impresión of a small Hacienda. Rooms are great and our bathroom was huge; we ate at the restaurant as well, tacos de arrachera are amazing and the camarones panzones are so yummy. Staff is super friendly and they have a garage to park your car. Quite handy. Let me tell you stay here is super close to the center and is so beautiful. Place is super clean and last but not least it has a great roof top. Come and stay you will not regret it.

I really love eating delicious makis and i prefer to pay on this place than in my city, the prices were very good. Also i love to admire the views from the second floor and the Japanese theme.

Beautiful vibes, and upscale dining experience. Highly recommend. You can choose from a variety of cuisines in the food plaza.

I was craving some sushi and this place didn’t disappoint they excellent choices I had some sashimi and ramen and it was great, the service was very good snd the atmosphere it awesome

Such a beautiful place with so many options for dining! Might not be traditional Mexican food, but if you’re in town for a longer trip, it’s always great to have many dining choices.

Great food and fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. I ate here a couple times during my stay and had some of the best meals

Awesome place! Totally recommend it! The atmosphere is amazing! So muchvgrern and lights! Go there! Any place in their...

Had the Pad Thai, it was quite disgusting to be honest… we ate a couple of bites and had to stop because it was that bad

Good way to get back to the airport from San Cristóbal, but not as much food and snacks as you normally see at a terminal

Here starts the magnificent place of San Cristobal de Las Casas. Here you can get to anywhere you want

Easy to navigate for buses

Good!! 😉

Ok

Functional.

(Translated by Google) Returning from Tuxtla we went to some charcoal tacos that are outside the short-haul center, they are delicious, you have to try them right now…HN (Original) Regresando de Tuxtla pasamos a unos tacos al carbón que están afuera de la central de corto recorrido vaya que está delicioso tienen que probarlos ahora mismo…HN

Highest recommendations for this Hostal in central San Cris. Moment I arrived the hosts greeted me with smiles and patience with my attempts at Spanish (all the workers speak English as well as other languages due to the multitude of world travelers here). Was then shown the dining area where I took two courtesy meals each day of my stay. The food is great. The hosts also make available a range of experiences; including a Temazcal which I was able to join in on with the incredible staff.

A M A Z I N G! That's the only word to describe my stay at Puerta Vieja Hostel. It's so easy to meet other travelers, whether you're chilling in the beautiful garden, enjoying a drink at the bar, or participating in one of their daily activities. They have everything from free salsa lessons and cocktail nights to ping pong tournaments. The hostel is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms and dorms are clean and the beds are a bit noisy but they are comfortable. They have many bathrooms as well. The location is perfect – just a short and easy walk to the main square. The free breakfast and dinners are awesome and make everyone come together. They have veggie options and meat options so there is something for everyone.

An Amazing place to stay! Thank you to all of the people working there doing an amazing job! It was such a great stay. The meals, the activities. You experience a place that truly cares about you as a traveller. Also the beds are great too! I alredy miss all you guys!

Great location and friendly staff. Have no idea how they are making money as it’s so cheap and (a surprisingly great) free breakfast and dinner is included. Rooms do feel a bit damp but that is the the whole city rather than the hostel. Also important note is that they have filtered water in the taps and showers which makes them probably the only place in San Chris where you don’t have to constantly worry considering the water health crisis.

I spent 8 nights here and really enjoyed my stay. This is definitely the most social hostel in San Cris, with social events every night (very alcohol heavy). The hostel dinners are definitely a highlight and for only 50 pesos are a great deal (very high quality). I only give it four stars because of some of the front desk staff. At first the staff seem quite kind but they can also be very rude and aggressive. After 8 nights here, (and spending a few thousand pesos here) I changed to a different hostel for my final night in San Cris so i could have an affordable private room. I was spending time with some friends at this hostel during that day, and was aggressively spoken to by the staff because I'd checked out the prior day and the facilities were only for guests.

Such a nice hostel. 5 stars on everything. Very social, nice activities (mostly for free) and a nice garden. Breakfast and diner included. When we missed our nightbus, they took care of us (Alex and Emiliano) by helping us out and letting us stay for free. 5 stars like I said!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel - it provides all the homey vibes with the Opportunity to be social too. They have an excellent offer for the breakfast and dinner - for 50peso each on the day or 90 if you book included! The food was delicious!! Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in San Cris

There is at least 3 of this "Andadores" in San Cristobal Downtown. Plenty of Restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A lot of places where you can have a nice cup of coffee or some chocolate drinks at anytime of the day & you can find several Tour companies on this particular one. If you wake up really early in the morning you will see some people jogging on the street. On weekend nights expect some music & some street vendors. There's Hotels & Airbnb's on Francisco I. Madero Street so you would be only 1 block away from it.

Very Iconic place in the city. Wonderful for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, bars.

Very pleasent place to walk though. Has just about everything from resturantes, botique, clothing stores, with a couple of bars, and jewlery stores

Great street for strolling and people watching.

Andable xD

Good place !

(Translated by Google) The vibrant heart of San Cristóbal. ✨ Between murals, cafes, mezcalerías, and artisan shops, the Guadalupe Walkway is a parade of colors, aromas, and lively music. Perfect for walking from one end to the other, discovering unexpected corners, and feeling the city's bohemian essence with every step.

A must see place in Mexico. The church is beautiful and the art is awesome. You can ge there during the sunset because you will enjoy the view. There is one thing that was really annoying is that the people do not care about the place. They get snacks and they leave a mess behind while there is a bin next to them but they don't clean it up. It is something shameful.

A facinating church, wonderfully decorated with amazing statues. little jesus had clothes on inside the church, but it is highly disrespectful to take photos so unfortunately i had to capture it with my eyes.

your jaw will drop when you witness the facade of this amazing colonial church. it is a true work of colonial art assisted by local indigenous people. the lions the Hapsburg eagles all meld into a unique style only seen on this church. inside one will be awed by the retablos and altar. be sure to walk all the way to the altar and then visit the side altars to the right. there are often locals praying in this area.

Beautiful corner in San Cristobal, worthy to see

The building looks beautiful it's very much a shame it's closed for renovations. Big metal fence all around.

The locals hold rituals here that have been traditional for centuries, you have to observe to understand what I mean

Took me some time to spot famous Hapsburg Dinasty eagle on the facade.

Really cute hostel! Very low key, got the impression of a lot of long-timers/remote workers as there wasn’t much of a vibe/people taking part in the activities. Everyone was friendly though so it didn’t matter for us as we were a 3 but wouldn’t recommend particularly for solo travellers. Great facilities, really nice private room. We had the tamales which were great too. Nice ladies who cook your eggs in the morning, lots of places to sit and chill and a 10-15 min walk to the centre. All areas are totally safe. Booked a tour to the gorge through reception which was really good but only in Spanish just FYI! And you have to pay cash to reception before 8.30 on the day of your tour else they cancel your place.

I had a private room here and unfortunately it was worse than the dorms - there were people banging on the roof directly overhead at sunrise (there is a metal staircase which needs a sign saying out of use during sleeping hours). I would advise you avoid private for this reason. The staffs son also ran around a lot - including on one ocasión sitting directly outside the toilet, humming, then screaming. He’s about 5 or 6 and there are so many other places to be so i don’t know why this happened - It felt like an unnecessary invasión of privacy. We also had to tell him not to enter the dorm room. His presence isn’t a problem but the hostel needs boundaries - this isn’t a private home. It’s also clear that on occasion the space is the staffs not the guests (again, not a huge problem, but the shouting generated, and take over of the kitchen table isn’t ideal). This is a shame as otherwise a good spot, clean, friendly, and staff clearly intending to (and very very nearly) create a tranquil haven. I did extend my stay a few times and wouldn’t avoid per se, but I don’t think id rush back for the above reasons.

The staff really try their best to help you! Lovely Mexican people! However, the internet connection is not reliable. I couldn’t connect from my room often. No real hot water—the water gets warmish. My room wasn’t ready at 2pm or even a couple hours later… The hostel is beautiful but you can go to a similar place for a lower price without all the issues

This was our best stay during our 3 weeks low budget travelling trip! The breakfast is so good: fresh bread, fruits, coffee, fresh jam and they make the eggs how you like it! The hostel has a lot of different places where you can sit. Location is also very good! Friendly staff!!

Excellent hostel. The staff were lovely, the facilities sparkling clean, the breakfast buffet delicious. The only issue is this place is not wheelchair accessible at all. It would be great if everyone could enjoy this beautiful hostel.

Would really recommend staying here. The atmosphere is incredible and it feels like being back in time 🌷 Nice people and just beautiful !

One of my favourite hostel experiences not just in Mexico but anywhere. A lot of this is down to the staff, who are very hardworking but also friendly and always smiling, and it seems like they're happy to be working there which makes a huge difference! The hostel is ideal for travelers who want to socialize in a relaxed manner. It's not too big and it's not a party hostel, so you have a nice social vibe but relaxed and without the noise, and it's easy to meet people to go on tours together or go out for some drinks. It's also a nice property for a lazy day in as it has some nice trees and plants, regularly visited by hummingbirds, and cozy covered spaces in which to relax. The hostel is also very clean, as the staff clean the rooms and bathrooms every single day. There's a good breakfast every morning of eggs (cooked to your liking), bread, delicious homemade jam, fruit and coffee. I had a private room so I can't comment on the dorms, but all in all, this hostel was pretty much perfect - Raul con "H" :)

Nice pedestrian street!

Ok

Super

Magic place

(Translated by Google) It's really very pretty, even more so at night, things are a little expensive but it's well worth the visit. The atmosphere is getting good. (Original) Es muy bonito en verdad, más por la noche, un poco cara las cosas pero vale mucho la pena visitar Se pone bueno el ambiente.

(Translated by Google) El Andador del Carmen is one of my favorite places in San Cristóbal. This pedestrian street, with its colorful facades and relaxed atmosphere, is perfect for strolling. From the Municipal Palace to the Arco del Carmen, you find craft shops, cafes and restaurants that invite you to stop. It is an ideal place to enjoy colonial architecture and local life. If you are looking for an authentic experience in the city center, this walker is an excellent option (Original) El Andador del Carmen es uno de mis lugares favoritos en San Cristóbal. Esta calle peatonal, con sus fachadas coloridas y ambiente relajado, es perfecta para pasear.

Es un sitio ideal para disfrutar de la arquitectura colonial y la vida local. Si buscas una experiencia auténtica en el centro de la ciudad, este andador es una excelente opción

(Translated by Google) It is the main tourist street of San Cristobal that you can walk because it is pedestrian, there are many cafes and restaurants so you can spend a pleasant cold afternoon watching the people go by and with a hot chocolate. It's just that it's very busy but it's nice to walk through it. Sometimes there are shows and there are people dressed in costumes walking and dancing all over the walkway. I recommend it. (Original) Es la calle principal de San Cristobal turística que puedes caminar pues es peatonal, hay muchos cafés y restaurantes para que pases una tarde fría agradable contemplando la gente pasar y con un chocolate caliente. Solo que si es muy concurrida pero está bonito recorrerla. A veces hay shows y hay gente disfrazada caminando y bailando por todo el andador. Lo recomiendo.

Had a great stay here. A modern hotel with nice rooms . Good showers with lots of hot water. Free parking. Good service. Great location.

Service is excellent and ambiance is very nice, but I found the spa experience to be way overpriced for the value delivered. I booked the jacuzzi for an hour ($1000 MXN!) and while it’s a nice spacious tub, it had rings of dirt along the side, the water cooled off to lukewarm quickly, and the jets were super intense and I had no button to switch them off. Staff were responsive, but couldn’t really help the situation. I ended up ending my session early so I could warm up with a hot shower 🤷‍♀️

Very nice place to stay. Overall is good but the air conditioning from the gym was not working. The food from the restaurant good but extremely salty.

Relatively large hotel for the area. Nice rooms high end toiletries, great parking and location.

Id give 5 stars if the staff knew some minimum English words like towels , baggage and soap. I t was unbelievable that so many front desk staff knew any basic English words. Thanks to Christie and one young man who were most helpful and spoke fluent English. The rooms are wonderful. Great layout. Beautiful and efficient entry The hotel restaurant was not impressive though. The cocktails were ok but the food left a lot to be desired The massage area is superb. Offelia was great and understood me but lotion needs to be offered along with oil One thing needed is much larger robes In The rooms. They are tiny. I never saw such small robes in any global hotel

I have been here for two nights and the hotel is excellent. The decoration is modern with good taste and the rooms are very spacious and comfy, very brand new furniture, a pillow menu for you to choose, new linens, the bathroom is very functional and the hot water is very hot with good pressure. Can't find a flaw so far. Well except that the SPA area is a bit small. The decoration of the common areas is very inviting and comfortable with a touch of Mayan designs and concepts. Has underground parking, a big plus in San Cristobal and is just one block and a half from the main plaza.

We stayed at their boutique house/apartment a few blocks away. It was very nice. Our apartment included breakfast,so we walked over to the hotel one time and enjoyed the breakfast. Very nice ambience in the restaurant. Highly recommend the boutique assortment/house that they rent a few blocks away. The private staff was amazing and very helpful.

Lovely hotel in the heart of San Cristobal. Rooms were incredibly comfortable; the bed was perfect, shower hot and strong and sheets were silky. Service was excellent, I particularly enjoyed the breakfast (I’d recommend choosing to include it with your stay), where the chef went out of her way to create me delicious options that weren’t on the menu as I follow a vegan diet. If I come back to San Cristobal I will definitely be staying here again.

Very nice hotel with character. Received excellent, friendly service. We had one issue with the room and staff dealt with it in a friendly and professional manner. I do not hesitate to recommend.

I had a great experience. People very friendly and helpful. Loved the hotel, very comfortable bed and pillows :) ..delicious food!!

Above my expectations… this hotel makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in the door, let’s say that they honor their name “family house”. the staff were superb and willing to help all the time. Now let’s talk about the restaurant …. Wow !! Great place to have breakfast even if you don’t stay with them, you have the option to eat at their beautiful restaurant located in their courtyard or walk in to their well kept garden space, whichever you choose, the waiter service is top notch. Bedroom is basically noise free from the outside since their windows are facing towards the inside of building, bed was very comfortable, hot water in shower all the time. Location is great within walking distance of mostly everything, we parked our car at their free parking and didn’t move it until we had to leave. Overall, staying here again on my next visit to San Cristobal…. Thanks !

One of the most beautiful and characteristic boutique hotel I have ever seen. Of course the hotel is simple but well managed and furnished. Location is top for san Cristobal, they have all the services and the staff is always available to help and assist. Only suggestion (but as a more general point) I would have appreciated more English speaking staff but this is a very minor point for me since the staff always tried to be understood from us.

Great hotel with nice decor and ambiance, very cozy and a well preserved garden. The location is downtown so expect some noise at night. The staff is always ready to help.Will definitely stay again !.

This hotel is perfect! It is in a newly restored hacienda on stunning grounds in a great location close to the zócalo. The staff is excellent and very helpful. My husband was sick and they even brought medicine to our room. The showers are amazing as are the fluffy beds and nice sheets. They have a lovely coffee maker, robes and slippers. They have thought of everything. Amazing value do not hesitate to book it!

So interesting! Loved all the history here

huge space that once housed a woman's convento, now an area that houses art exhibits and other cultural events. in front of the centro is the arco del carmen a unique building in san cristobal in the Mudejar style, the only one in san cristobal. and a testament to the origins of the early Spanish settlers.

Cultural center for local people to have classes.

(Translated by Google) It has a very nice patio, but I have to say that it does not have many exhibitions, one of the most beautiful is a small garden with beautiful phrases. It is very big and they could do more to have a greater number of exhibitions (Original) Tiene un patio muy bonito, eso sí tengo que decir que no tiene muchas exposiciones, una de las más bonitas es un pequeño jardín con lindas frases.

(Translated by Google) It is my fifth time in San Cristóbal and, although I have visited many of its corners, I had not had the fortune of visiting the El Carmen Cultural Center until now. Located in the heart of the old Convent of La Encarnación in Ciudad Real – a building founded in the 16th century – this center is much more than a cultural space: it is a refuge of calm and contemplation. From its sober and majestic architecture to its silent atmosphere, everything invites introspection. Knowing that this building has gone through so many lives—convent, morgue, asylum, barracks—gives it a mystical, almost sacred aura. Today, as a cultural center, it hosts exhibitions, workshops and activities open to the general public, receiving more than 6,000 visitors monthly. I recommend visiting it if you are looking for a space of peace in the middle of the tourist bustle, or if you simply want to connect with the deep history of Chiapas. It is a place that does not impose itself, but that allows itself to be discovered slowly, like the well-kept secrets of this magical city. (Original) Es mi quinta vez en San Cristóbal y, aunque he recorrido muchos de sus rincones, no había tenido la fortuna de visitar el Centro Cultural El Carmen hasta ahora. Ubicado en el corazón del antiguo Convento de la Encarnación de Ciudad Real —un edificio fundado en el siglo XVI—, este centro es mucho más que un espacio cultural: es un refugio de calma y contemplación. Desde su arquitectura sobria y majestuosa hasta su atmósfera silenciosa, todo invita a la introspección. Saber que este edificio ha pasado por tantas vidas —convento, morgue, asilo, cuartel— le da un aura mística, casi sagrada. Hoy, como centro cultural, alberga exposiciones, talleres y actividades abiertas al público general, recibiendo mensualmente a más de 6,000 visitantes. Recomiendo visitarlo si buscas un espacio de paz en medio del bullicio turístico, o si simplemente deseas conectar con la historia profunda de Chiapas. Es un lugar que no se impone, pero que se deja descubrir lentamente, como los secretos bien guardados de esta ciudad mágica.

(Translated by Google) A very peaceful place. There were some exhibitions and a garden set up. (Original) Lugar muy tranquilo. Había habilitado algunas exposiciones y su jardín.

The room we stayed at seemed not clean and sheets were dirty. Overall condition of the room was quite miserable too. Despite the location avoid staying here.

Idyllic terrace, nice rooms and bathroom. Excellent location in most touristic street of San Cristobal. There is a dance school above the rooms, be aware that there will be people dancing above your room every weekday night (Mo-fri).

BAD EXPERIENCE! We stayed three nights at this hotel, first of all the rooms are very small, the style is minimalist. The second day there was no water, we had to wait until 23:00 to take a shower, we could even use the toilet or wash our hands! We understand the small village has this problem, but it’s a shame that a hotel doesn’t pay attention to their guest as other hotels, because there are pips that provides water, I think this is irresponsibility! A SHAME! The second day they didn’t clean the room either the third day and we had to ask for it every time that was very annoying because it’s their responsibility! Then also we had to ask to change the blanket and sheets because they were dirty. We paid a lot for what we got! It’s a pity that the owner of this hotel doesn’t do something to improve the services provided. The hotel seems actually a hostal. The only positive thing was the breakfast, that was not bad but nothing special and also Tammy (the manager) who did an effort but not enough, sorry but that was one of the worst “hotels” we have ever been, for sure we wouldn’t come back and we don’t recommend it.

Hotel - ok in a pinch. Location is great. However, very disorganized reception on arrival in the evening around 9pm, they left me waiting for a while (I believe the receptionist may have gone home by then,to be fair). Room quite nice furniture wise, but could have been cleaner. Water tepid at best (not great in chilly climate). No WiFi in room. Pretty good breakfast in nice terraced restaurant. They also stored my bag after checkout which was helpful.

Recently new owners since december 2022. So any bad reviews before this Time is another story. Loved the friendly staff, clean linens (smelled freshly out of the wash), and decent space in room #5 which I stayed. Desk, place to hang clothes, no drawers. You are in the🫀 heart of a walkable city. I'm an architect/designer and loved the simple yet sophisticated design. P.s. A MUST sit at the café/terrace, a hidden gem in this city. You'll get a great view. DE NADA.

Great place for your stay in San Cristobal. La Tozi is run by a very friendly Spanish girl. Even though the hotel is located in the busy city center, the rooms are in the back and no noise enters the rooms. At the upper first floor, all walls are made of small glass windows offering an amazing view over the city's roofs. Here, you also find the restaurant and yoga room. Beds are very comfortable.

All I can say is, wow. I saw on one of the booking sites that they had some apartments and suites available, so I did the wise thing and showed up in person, rather than booking online (tip: people in San Cristobal hate paying commissions to the booking sites, and if you just show up and book in person, they give you a rate that is cheaper for you yet more profitable for them) I asked what his best unit was, so he showed me... this place is frickin incredible, it's a huge, beautifully decorated 2 bedroom with tons of light and modern finishings. As a walk in, I paid 5000 pesos for 1 week. I would have booked for longer but unfortunately someone else reserved it for the following week... I'm not surprised, it's an amazing apartment. It's also in the best part of town, on a street that's super lively yet the apartment is very quiet, because the whole hotel is set back from the street and built around a courtyard. Highly recommended, just don't book online. And to the owner: your pics of the 2 bedroom on Booking don't do it justice... it's also way bigger than 40 square meters, it's more like 80 :)

I have never been met with such rudeness in a church before! (from a world traveler) We've been in Mexico for 3 months now, loving our visits to churches, where I discreetly/respectfully take pictures (many, many churches and hundreds of photos) with my (no flash) cell phone. Here however I was told NO! and then asked to leave. I was raised Catholic & I'm disgusted by this treatment, seemingly because I was a tourist. How loving, welcoming, sharing, and ecumenical of this church, pffft! No one else was in the church at the time btw. I see other reviewers have inside photos - nice!

Beautiful church, very spiritual and very nicely kept

(Translated by Google) The façade is very striking with its white color. On my visit it was not open to see the interior, but it was worth seeing the atrium and the front of the temple.
