A friend recommanded me this hostel, and I haven´t been disappointed! I really enjoyed this colorfull and charming place. The staff makes you feel comfortable right away and is always willing to help you. I appreciated the huge kitchen and big tables which are good excuses to share your meal with others travelers. This is my turn to highly recommand... More

Hostel worth to be recommended because of the price, but not only: nice atmosphere, helpful staff good location. People arriving there for one nights change their plans and stay longer and longer … I can also advise you to buy excursions via Iguana Hostel e.g. Canion Sumidero(100 pesos) or Palenque (350 pesos). If you go to Palenque by ADO bus... More

Overall this a great place to stay.the price is great 100 pesos a night( around US $8). The people are welcoming and helpful. If you are planning to head to Guatemala after San Cristobal then they will setup a shuttle to your destination. Great location close to the markets and main plazas. Free breakfast! And hot water too :)

Nice place to stay!
