Hosteria Del Virrey - B&B

The room was clean and cozy with warm cotton blankets. Breakfast was basic eggs and coffee that's what i ordered. Location was great, close enough to center town (5 blocks) but far enough away from noise. I liked the old world feel of the building and the helpful hosts who know a lot about the history of San Cristobal de Las Casas. The place was secure. Restaurants and cafes nearby.

Remember that this is not about the features or the price. It's about THE BALANCE. This is a family home. You are literally a guest, albeit a paying one. For the price you won't get anywhere else you get your own clean bed with warm blankets, your own bathroom with hot shower, and all the landmarks nearby. I timed myself: it takes 15 minutes to walk to the bus station. Less than that to main square and all the walking streets that flow out of it. There is excellent coffee across the street, a selection of basic restaurants, Chedraui not too far away. And the host knows an incredible lot about this area, the country itself, the food, the people - amazing, just listen.

Because the house is centuries old, it needs a massive overhaul of plumbing, heating and airflow.

The host is fantastic, he really cares about you enjoying your time while in Mexico & San Cristobal. It was great to have breakfast and coffee included. Hosteria is in a fabulous location right outside of the main centre, so it is quiet but not far!

Room felt quite humid, although it did have a dehumidifier to help! Pictures could be updated, to improve the accuracy of the listing.

Pros: Cheap price, good location, friendly owner Cons: The room was very damp, the hotel is very old and the restaurant that you walk through is messy and dingy. I was given the wrong room at first but this was resolved.
