Posada del Abuelito (Hostel)

Checked me in at 6 in the morning even though It was only guaranteed from 14 pm, all sorts of activities all the time, sufficient water for everyone, and a very friendly vibe all around, people all talking, they have a locker with a lock for you, very very comfy bed and blankets, and patios that are so nice. Lacks heat in common areas but mostly because I did not think to bring warm clothes, and the shower heads are not so comfortable, but almost nothing really. Honestly best hostel I have ever been in, easily, like okay I have been in maybe only like 10 total, but this is miles above everything else that I have tried

Lovely hostel just on the outer edge of town. Everything was clean and staff was super helpful and friendly.

The woman from the reception, is super friendly and arrange a few tours for me! I would def. come back as they welcomed me super warm, and the pricing is super competitive. nothing.

So many cool and nice travellers and staff!

The feeling in Posada del Abuelito is that of staying with a welcoming and warm family in their beautiful Mexican villa. The kitchen and garden allow for shared experiences with other guests. The private rooms are really special.

A lot of space, friendly co-travelers, great breakfast (a lot better than expected), fully equipped shared kitched, best showers I had (lots of hot water) Nothing

Great location! I stayed here for a week and wished I could have stayed longer. Lovely people, cute garden, amazing breakfast included - eggs, beans, toast with homemade jam, cereal, tea and coffee. Fantastic value! My one critique is the hot water is minimal.

Interaction with other guests is exceptionally good. Excellent breakfast. Great organization of activities and touring options. Rooms/beds are kept clean and quiet. Love the staff There are multiple shared shiwers but the two main ones need better shower heads with better maintenance.

I think it's great for solo travelers if you take a bed in a dormitory but as a couple we took a private room which was quite basic. Everything is fine but I believe our expectations were a bit higher.

Also there are many places to sit back and relax

Great! Highly recommended

Beautiful courtyard and adobe structure. The pipes in the walls banged all night, making it impossible to sleep. This was very mysterious, as it didn’t occur during the day. There was also no hot water in the shower, despite there being hot water in the sink AND in the toilet!

Lots of space to relax, super friendly and helpful staff, great people staying there.

You can feel the love and care in every detail—from the way the space is kept so calm, clean, and beautiful, to the breakfast lovingly prepared each morning. I’m so grateful to Nili, Nancy, Diana, and the other wonderful people who make this place so special. Their kindness and attention create not just a hostel, but a home. I can’t wait to come back again and again!

Really nice hostel and staff. The breakfast is simple, but you get everything you need (fruit, eggs, coffee, etc). The location is pretty convenient too as it's just far enough from the center but close enough to walk to. They offer free parking as well. I would go there again for sure. The rooms don't have good soundproofing so we could hear a lot of shouting in the morning from the neighbors of the hostel and at night one could hear all the conversations in the room next to us. It didn't bother us, but a little soundproofing would make this place perfect.

The atmosphere at the hostel is a bit loud. The distance to the center of the town is more then 10 minutes away.

Great location, people, breakfast, staff, and facilities.

One of the most charming hostels I've stayed in, anywhere in the world. Probably the warmest and most loving staff ever, anywhere. Somewhat social, but very quietly so. Right in El Cerillo, great barrio.

This is one of the finest hostels in all of my travels all around the world. The warmth of the staff is beyond compare. Physically, the space is lovely and FILLED with quiet little nooks everywhere in the beautiful gardens, so you can be a social or as private as you choose to be. It's a series of old classic adobe buildings, each more charming than the next. I came for a day or two and stayed for weeks, with many tears and hugs when I left. It's that kind of place. The location could not be more ideal in El Cerillo, just outside of the main area where you will want to be, still in the thick of things but quiet and peaceful. You really couldn't pick a better spot in San Cris, and I'm someone who typically rents my own house when here. I'm probably just going to continue making it my home away from home. I miss you all! Leaving. I didn't like leaving.

The hostel was well set up and comfortable, good breakfast in the mornings and a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. Staff were mostly friendly - the ladies who checked us in and out were super lovely! The guy at the front desk wasn't very helpful when asking about tours/getting around unfortunately, and one of the older women knocked on our door at 9pm one night to say something that sounded quite aggressive in Spanish - when we didn't understand she just walked off. It was quite disconcerting. She also made cooking in the kitchen a stressful experience as she critically watched every attempt to cook Mexican food!!
