The rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. Rooms come with a private bathroom with a shower, while some rooms include a terrace and others also boast city views. At La Abuelita Hostal all rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

La Abulita surpassed all my expectations. I booked a private single room and it was amazing. Clean, comfortable and with all the amenities. Super friendly and helpful staff, huge kitchen, living room, all inviting. This hotel/hostel is better value and better maintained than many of the much more expensive hotels I have stayed at.

It’s worth it to pay the extra for the breakfast at this hostel. I made friends as soon as I walked in. They offer lots of tours, which is great. I’ve been to San Chris several times and never enjoyed it until I stayed at this hostel. I will surely return next year :) I am super happy with everything. They offer free coffee and tea all day. Also offer drinking water which is wonderful for the environment. You don’t need to buy those plastic water bottles if you stay here. I had no phone data when I arrived from Guatemala and this place was super easy to find without a gps. It’s right in the main walking street. The staff was went out of their way to answer any questions I had. Even looked up the bus routes/ times to the airport for me.

Loved that there was a heater in the room and thick blankets! It was generally quiet at night and nice to have access to a kitchen. My room was very tiny; but depending on how much luggage you have this may or may not matter.

    Great location, a short walk from town and from the bus terminal. Beautiful building with terrace. Staff available 24/7 so we could drop our bags at 5am when we arrived in San Cristobal. You can arrange tours through the hostel - we did the canyon tour which was great and much cheaper than any of the options I found online. Great value room - I think a lot of the buildings in San Cristobal suffer from damp but they've obviously taken steps to address and prevent this in our room.

    Great hostel with chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. The kitchen has everything you need and enough space to store food. The bunk beds were in good condition and felt comfortable. The space and bathrooms always clean, with hot water. Great location, close to the centre, but also there are a lot of other restaurants and facilities close by. Great value for money!

    Very well run backpacker hostel. Comfortable beds, bright rooms, good breakfast and excellent dinner included, lots of activities and excursions, cheap bar, entertainment, decent kitchen - all made even better by pleasant and professional staff and volunteers. Location is great too. The whole place is set up to meet fellow travelers, have things to do, but also if you want to be on your own, read or work at your computer it's good for that too.

    Qhia is the best hostel I've been at, its full of lovely people and managed by a sweet person. Its rather small and feels intimate. All the public spaces were neatly clean and people respected that. It is very close to the market and the neighbourhood feels safe.
