This was a great little place to stay. Alex, our host, was very welcoming and works hards at keeping up with cultural activities around the city. A nice sense of community emerged each day out of the group of guests staying there and sharing their travel experiences. Simple facilities, but charming and comfortable.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay! The owners were wonderful- they gave us all the information we would need to get to know the city, and went the extra mile to make sure we got what we wanted.

This hostel was absolutely perfect for us in just about every way. The atmosphere is awesome (thanks mostly to Rob and Rebecca who run the place, and Alex, who is a legend), the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the hot water is plentiful! Really recommend some of the tours they offer, which aren't the standard trips that you find elsewhere, and everything was so good our three days turned into over a week. If ever we;re back in San Cristobal, we'll be staying here.

The hostel itself was really clean and the staff were friendly. The problem was that they were all new and couldnt really help on booking tours etc as they didnt really know much about anything. The tour to Pallenque was average that was highly recommended. The manager Rob went missing for the entire time we were there and really let his staff down.

I came to the Posada del Abuelito for 4days, but I stayed almost 10days (and I came back again !) . Warm welcome, beautiful energies, cozy fireplace for chily San Cristobal nights, nice ambiance, all is clean, brightened up with candles and flowers !... You will feel like at home ! And you should definitely go to hear the duck story !
