This place is great! The rooms are clean and neat; the showers hot and the water pressure good. But the best thing about this place are the two young hosts, Alex and Guillame, from France. They are friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful they even offered to loan me their hiking shoes for the coffee plantation tour! Stay here! You will... More

A friend and I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days here this Feb. Alex and the rest of the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful with all our needs. We were sick and they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and well taken care of. The place is a cozy little slice of heaven... More

I had a great time at Posada Del Abuelito. The managers are very warm, welcoming and always willing to help you with anything. The breakfast is delicious. I enjoyed the nice evenings we had next to the fireplace, listening to music or watching a movie...I planned to stay 3 days in San Cristobal, but I just couldn't leave this place.... More

Lots of character, clean comfortable rooms, and a phenomenal location are some of the highlights. An enjoyable couple minutes of walking through beautiful San Cristobal brings your right into the heart of the city. The folks... More

We stayed there for a week in a private room. The rooms are very clean. The owners, an American couple, are very friendly and help you with everything you need. The garden is wonderful and they also have a kitchen. The breakfast is ok.
