Casa Santa Lucia

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!

Amazing experience at this hotel. First off everyone treats you like family, the rooms are super clean and provide you with all your needs. Breakfast is delicious each and every time. I felt like at home in this hotel. Well one thing to note is that you can hear other guests since everyone is so quiet. We heard a full on conversation from another guest across the hallway, aside from that I would definitely stay here in a heartbeat.

A truly beautiful place that felt very Mexican with lovely local textiles, decor, and wonderful central covered courtyard for breakfasts. All the staff were very helpful and they assisted in arranging two of our best exploration trips in the area. The place is within easy walking distance of the central pedestrian walkways that cross the city and that are central to sites, restaurants, and local markets and artisans. One of the best places we stayed during our month-long trip.

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.

We loved that breakfast was included and it wasn’t continental style. There were quite a few options for breakfast and it was very filling. We also liked that there was a small bar. They also booked tours for us and offered to serve breakfast half hour earlier so we could eat before we were picked up. We would definitely stay here again and refer friends and family to this hotel.
