Let me just mention that my stay at Iguana Hostel was incredible. The layout of this place was perfect. Plenty of room in the dorms. Which were half capacity. The outside bar and roof was perfect for meeting and greeting or just chilling and reading. That means thoughtful of your health. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. They have tours with the owner who was very informative of the culture ther. Highly recommend staying here. Hot showers, great kitchen and great ambiance, thank you Iguana
My stay at Iguana Hostel in San Cristóbal was truly special. It is the type of place where you come as a customer and leave as a friend. The vibe is so friendly and the atmosphere so welcoming that you simply can’t help feeling as at home. I quickly made friends with the local staff and other guests and we ended up doing so many things together. Even though I stayed at Iguana during the quarantine, there was plenty of things to do, from tours around the surrounding areas to barbecues, movie nights and debates about the local indigenous cultures. I really enjoyed my time at Iguana and I would definitely stay there again anytime I’m in San Cristóbal. Highly recommended!
The hostel is a good place to spend the night. They offer great tours and the facilities are clean. The reception staff is nice and friendly even if they are hard to track down at times. I didn't like that the only common space was outdoors. Maybe it's great when it's warm but while it's cold, it's not as great. However everything else is very uncomplicated and I had a good stay at the place.
I have been there in July 2020, the hostel is located in the barrio Cerrillo, just aside the central market and It is really easy to get anywhere in beautiful San Cristobal, even in these strange periods the area has something to offers, bars are open and You can find tours operators working for the excursion in Chiapas or to the native villages around San Cristobal. Iguana hostel is quiet and the staff is really helpful and can address you about the town and its hidden gems.
My experience at Iguana was very good. The Iguana is close to the main market and 5 minutes walk from the center. It's very clean and cozy and the owners are very kind and helpful. They gave me such good advice about where to spend my time in the city. I stayed in the hostel during covid pandemic and actually the lockdown was even so bad. I Could enjoy the Archotete park, Chamula village and a lot of rides and hiking around San Cristobal. The bars and restaurants are still running so It's possible to find a bunch of places very nice and welcomed. I enjoyed my time in San Cristobal so much, I had also the chance to attend a Spanish course and practice my Spanish with some tourists and Mexican people. I've never felt in danger for the pandemic but I will recommend wearing a mask in public markets and indoor place. It was the best destination ever where to spend my quarantine :-) I will back for sure…
