Hotel Ocho Barrios

The traditional apartment was wonderful. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would need. There was a big dining table and seating area. The decor was quirky with a piano (not tuned!) and a very old television. The bedroom and bed was very comfortable. TV in bedroom and WiFi great. Bathroom and shower with soap etc great. The terrace and furniture was a bonus and a lovely small garden. Staff were quick to poor the nice coffee at breakfast and offer refills. The owners are very friendly. Most of the staff were great too. I had a nice stay in the apartment and the price was good value for the space. Great location.

I wasn't advised how to get in or out of the apartment at check-in. It has it's own entrance which the owner later advised me. Breakfast was a total mystery. My first morning i explained I was staying there, I was given the wrong menu so had to pay for breakfast. It was lovely but I hadn't budgeted for it. The second morning I showed my keys and asked for the free breakfast menu. If you like eggs that's great. Being vegetarian I had to help the staff to offer me a free alternative. I was given toasted rolls, butter and jam (Google translate is so helpful!). I ended up leaving some money for it as I had no idea if it was free as it wasn't on the free menu. The third morning, same issue. I was offered the rolls (fine) and a few bits of fruit which were not free. Hence a complete mystery! I spoke to the manager but with no resolve. Being a cold time of year, I was very cold in the morning and evenings. I'm used to some kind of heating, for example a small gas heater would have helped in the bedroom.

The location is perfect (short stroll to centre of town) in a quiet street. There is a lovely reception area with a place to sit and a beautiful garden courtyard where breakfast is served each morning. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Rooms are clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend Hotel Ocho Barrios if you're coming to San Cristobal de las Casas and would definitely stay here again! We decided to stay an extra 2 nights.

I can't think of anything!

Posizione, staff gentile e disponibile, location molto carina.

colazione da rivedere

The staff were exceptional!

The hotel was somewhat in a state of disrepair. Things broken, kept having to ask for basics like toilet paper, hairdryer etc.
