Casa Santa Lucía

Just returned home from our visit to San Cristobal and our wonderful stay at Casa Santa Lucia. The hotel was located just an easy, short walk from the busy center of town making it an ideal location for exploring the shops, churches and museums. The front door is kept locked with staff always in the reception and everything about the hotel felt extremely safe. Our room, Zinacantan, was spacious and very comfortable. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated with examples of the textiles and amber from the Chiapas area. Breakfast was wonderful with many choices and generous portions. All of the staff there were extremely helpful in recommending places to eat, and very patient with our limited Spanish. Freddie, the manager, was a great help in arranging our tour of the canyon and taxi back to the airport. We would highly recommend Casa Santa Lucia and look forward to a future visit!

Charming little hotel a short stroll from the main square. Rooms were large with lots or artwork and antiques. Breakfast was included and it was substantial with plenty of options. The hotel was very quiet although there were obviously other guests it was very peaceful. All the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. Felt very safe, front door was locked and you had to knock to be let in.

We loved our 6 night stay at Casa Santa Lucia. The location is perfect because you can walk to restaurants, shops and points of interest. The staff was very welcoming, check-in was easy and we were able to see and choose our room (Magdalenas). At check-in we were given a map of the city with recommendations for dining, shopping, etc. The restaurant recommendations were excellent. Breakfast was included and it wasn’t just a continental breakfast. You had your choice of different egg dishes with and without meat. Bread and pan dulce to start. Breakfast is from 8 to 11 and one morning we had an early tour but they allowed us to be seated at 7:30 so we could eat before leaving for the day. They are so accommodating. They even booked several tours for us. The front door is always locked but you can come and go as you please. The rooms are beautifully decorated, very clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. All the rooms face the courtyard where breakfast is served. They even have a bar with beer, wine and cocktails. There is some street noise in the morning which is to be expected because you are in the city center. The windows facing the street don’t open except the one in the bathroom and the one facing the courtyard. There is no A/ C or ceiling fan but you really don’t need it. They do offer portable fans. We loved San Cristobal and would definitely stay here again and recommend this boutique hotel to family and friends.
