The hacienda is beautiful and historic. Antiques all around, quiet, peacocks roaming around and you get the feeling of being in the middle of a jungle. The soft music is pleasant, the workers are willing to help. Also there is a restaurant open for breakfast and on the weekends they open for dinner too. The only thing I wish they had beaters, it gets very cold in the room at night and all you have is more blankets. Other than that, it is a gem.

Perfect amount of rustic Mexican charm
Beautiful property. Has peacocks as well as old antique cars. Incredibly safe. The property is locked at night so make sure you know how to get back in if the gates are locked. The grounds are gorgeous. It is hard to imagine such beautiful gardens in the middle of a city. Free parking on site. We did not drive as the collectivos came by every 5 minutes to take us to Centro. We discovered parking downtown would have been next to impossible. The room is rustic. Old time Mexican charm…just what we wanted. Potable drinking water in every room. It rained while we were there and it was cold. Unfortunately the hotel does not have ANY HEAT! They gave us extra blankets and the sleeping temperature was perfect…but with no heat you either wanted to be in bed under the covers or out walking or in a restaurant WITH heat!! Would we stay here again? Yes! We loved it. The only issue was heat, and when San Cristobal is rarely COLD, they basically do not need it. But it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have a few space heaters.

Was assigned to room 8, room was freezing. Asked for a different room and changed me to 10 for a $200mx daily upcharge. I paid as long as it was warmer. Get to the room WiFi couldn’t reach there, shower was either extremely hot or cold. Bathroom had a smell coming out of the floor drain.

Loved the fireplace in the dining room. Excellant ambiance. Staff is very helpful and friendly. History of the property is very interesting, esp. that the hotel is about 200 yrs old. Lot's of neat antiques. Clean. Hot showers. The rooms are cold as there are no heaters, but the cozy thick quilts made up for it.

This hotel is very unique and somewhat rustic. The property has some very interesting antiques that are hidden away waiting to be discovered. The room we had was very Mexican it is decoration. However, there is no heat in the room and it was chilly in the evenings in March. There was only 1 hard wooden chair that looked nice, but was tough to sit in to read. The Cocina (restaurant) was delightful. There is a fireplace that takes the chill off and the food is good. The staff at the Hotel are very helpful and friendly, although not much English is spoken. Overall we enjoyed our stay here very much

The staff went above and beyond for us and made us feel at home. Not only is the Hotel beautiful, peaceful and relaxing, but their food was exquisite! The best part of my stay, was when I went out for a walk & it suddenly started raining, as I was walking back to the hotel, one of the staffs ran up to me with an umbrella and walked me to my room. He then asked if I wanted to start the chimney so we can keep warm. 10/10 recommended

Our first choice when we booked our trip, the hotel is quaint, picturesque, and rustic. Beautiful settings everywhere you look in this "hacienda". Their majestic peacocks roam freely in the hotel, our stay was very pleasant, and extra with the staffs attention specially Nereo. His courtesies to our stay, and assisting us in organizing our trips were seamless. Our first time in Chiapas, we absolutely loved it.

A unique place, with lots of history in it, wonderful employees, very clean, it was a little bad cold inside the room and I hear the neighbors conversation like it was on my room, but that wasn't a problem with me, if I ever go back to San Cristobal de las casas That's going to be my place to go.

MERE WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THIS ENCHANTING PLACE !!!!!! SET IN A QUIET RESIDENTIAL AREA ITS MAXING! THE HOTEL IS A REAL LIFE IN-TOWN HACIENDA. IT IS FULL OF OLD ANTIQUES AND AMAING MEMORALBILIA! The beds were SUPER COMFY, internet worked flawlessly. When in San Cristobal its "THE" PLACE to stay. Safe Secure Parking! Great Restaurant! WOW WE WILL BE BACK!

Beautiful hotel
We had a big room with two double beds. The furnace didn't work but it wasn't necessary anywaysince it was not cold. We could use the table and chairs in the terrace in front of the room. The grounds are beautifully kept, the employees are very helpful. The hotel is a little far from the center of town (10 min taxi ride) but it's worth it to stay in this great place. The kids could play all over. The peacock is beautiful.

Overrated and out of reach to downtown
We just went for one night and that was enough. Free Internet means go to the lobby. It´s old and worn out. Haciendas are old places but that doesn´t mean to you need to stay in old and worn out room. Breakfast is not included and not worth to go for.

Beautiful but cold and noisy
The hotel is a beautiful almost museum like place with spacious grounds and peacocks. But the room was cold and no one offered to put a fire in the wood burning stove to warm it, the bathroom light is on a motion detector that kept turning off at very inconvenient times and there were very noisy neighbors who shouted a conversation all night.

Great stay in hacienda
Very nice concept - old hacienda made into a hotel outside of busy and packed San Cristobal center. Service was more than excellent - we could choose our room, offered extra blankets and towels, even given a welcome drink and fresh flowers in the room. Downside is the location (not much to explore on foot) and be prepared for cold practically at any time of the year (get extra blankets, use the fireplace, wait for the hot water in shower, etc.). Though it's very close to the highway that takes you further to Grutas de Rancho Nuevo, Comitán and other places outside of San Cristobal, for us it was a perfect location for the last night in San Cristobal, gardens are wonderful, all the hotel looks like centuries old and the great service is more than wonderful.

Very Disappointed
We would never recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Cristobal. It was far away from the city center and was very definitely in an undesirable neighborhood. The walls were the least soundproof walls that we have encountered at any hotel and we have traveled extensively. It was a very disappointing experience.
