The only place to stay on San Cris Quite, but very central. Beautiful serene gardens, and they offer breakfast on site. I found the water dispenser extremely useful. 100% would stay again.

"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel margarita! The location was perfect, just a short walk from the downtown and close to several popular restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions and offer recommendations. My room was clean, comfortable, and had a great view of the city. The hotel also had a delicious breakfast . Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again on my next trip to san cristobal.

Nice hotel in a great location. The atmosphere is pleasant and the place is comfortable. In some details you can notice that it could be a bit better maintained, but nevertheless it’s a great place to stay and overall a very good experience.

i stayed at Room 51 a room with a view you can say and a beautiful afternoon sun when returning from the daytrip. Very happy with the room, the service and with the gent from the reception. Moises did a fantastic job and even changing money in the hotel was not only possible but very fair! Thank you all for a beautiful week in San Cristobal de las Casas.

Without a doubt, the best hotel in San Cristobal. Located only a short walk from the centre, very reasonably priced, friendly staff, nice breakfast, good WiFi, clean and comfortable rooms with a beautiful courtyard. What more can you want? We will definitely be back to stay next time we visit San Cristobal.

Pleasant staff. Property is lovely inside and out with well-kept grounds and several pleasant sitting areas for guests in the courtyards. Sleeping rooms are well-appointed in the surface choices on the floors, the furniture, and in the bathroom. Good wifi. Generous-sized shower. Water dispensers located in some of the corridors, which offer a choice of hot or cold water. Food in restaurant is unremarkable. Although the bathroom is pretty, an unfortunate installation decision to have the door open into the bathroom results in awkward access to the toilet. The sink is also very pretty, but because it's so shallow or perhaps the faucet too high, water typically splashes over to the area between the sink and the wall.
