    I recently stayed at Planet Hostel for 2 nights during my visit to San Cristobal. The staff, especially Jose at the front desk, were incredibly helpful and friendly. They were always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. The location of the hostel was also convenient, situated in the central area. I appreciated the variety of breakfast options available each morning, and the opportunity to book tours through the hotel. Additionally, communication prior to my arrival was excellent, and late check-in was not a problem. The private room and bathroom provided great value for the price. I had a pleasant stay and would recommend!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The staff at this hostel were amazing - always friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. They made my stay even more enjoyable. the common area was really nice and a great place to socialize and meet other travelers. the location of the hostel was perfect, with key attractions and amenities nearby.

    The rooms could definitely use some repairs, especially the bathrooms. the noise level was also a problem, especially if you were in a room close to the reception area.

    As a solo backpacker, I had an amazing time at Planet Hostel. The hostel had everything I needed, from a well-equipped kitchen and laundry facilities to a bar with an excellent selection of beers. The rooftop and open spaces were perfect for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers. The atmosphere was incredible, with organized outings and activities. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to provide advice and information about the city. The location was ideal, close to the downtown area. a fantastic experience.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel is excellent, being only a short distance from the city center and easily accessible. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing good tips and suggestions for local dining options. The hostel offers free luggage storage for guests with late buses, allowing them to still enjoy their time before departure.

    The shared bathroom and shower in the mixed dormitory could use some improvements in terms of maintenance and noise control.

    We had an amazing stay at this hostel. the staff, including Carlos, were incredibly welcoming and made us feel like part of the family. They were always there to help and ensure we had everything we needed. the hostel itself was clean, quiet, and had a great energy. We loved the big kitchen and terrace, and the communal areas were perfect for meeting other travelers. the location was convenient, not far from the market and center. it was the best hostel we stayed at during our trip to Mexico. Gracias por todo!

    Nothing bad to say 😊.

    The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, even cooking breakfast for us after it had officially ended. They were also quick to fix any issues, like the hot water in our bathroom. the hostel is conveniently located near plenty of bars and restaurants. the value for money is excellent, with comfortable beds and a nice building with ample facilities. the staff's friendly and helpful attitude made our stay even better. the kitchen is spacious and there is plenty of outdoor space to relax in. We also appreciated the hostel offering tours at affordable prices.

    Felt like a VIP, no complaints whatsoever.

    We had a fantastic stay at Planet Hostel. the hostel itself is adorable, with a bright and secure atmosphere. What impressed us the most was the variety of rooms available, not just dorms. They even offered to carry our bags and cooked us a delicious breakfast. Our private room was clean and comfortable, and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else when we return to San Cristobal. Planet Hostel provided excellent value for money. Cons: No issues at all! Everything was great during our stay. 😊.

    We had a great stay at this hostel! the location was convenient, close enough to the center of town but in a quieter area. the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Jose who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. the room was comfortable and clean, with nice bathroom facilities. We loved the delicious breakfasts served each morning and the free drinking water available. a great experience!

    The pots and pans in the kitchen were a bit worn out.
