Taller de Juan - Casa Hotel

This hotel is beautiful !! We felt we were in like a telenovela in a beautiful hacienda with full of plants and art!! The staff are excellent in customer service and the food in the restaurant is the best in town! Definitely the best experience I had in our trip in San Cristobal De Las Casas!

I had a very comfortable stay in this boutique hotel in San Cristobal. The design angle is well executed, with an old workshop/residential space repurposed into a courtyard hotel filled with modern art and quiet places where you can relax in a shady garden. The rooms are large with very high ceilings and a genuine sense of space. Despite considerable jet lag, I slept really well here. I was busy most days visiting and photographing carnival celebrations in nearby parts of Chiapas and it was always a pleasure to come back to this hotel, The front office staff were very friendly and helped with laundry and transfers to and from Tuxtla. I also had a few relaxing messages in the small spa room just off the garden. I ate in the restaurant. I'm a little limited by being a fish eating vegetarian, however I enjoyed the fish and pasta choices and the deserts were so large, I usually kept half for breakfast. I can recommend the banana bread for this precise purpose! A few things to bear in mind. The Taller is close to the Na Bolom Museum, however is a healthy 15 to 20 minute walk from the main sightseeing/eating/shopping areas, so bring some track shoes for the cobbles and the broken pavements. Finally, the Taller partly faces onto a narrow road that carries a fair amount of slow rumbling traffic during the day. At some point in an optimistic future, San Cris will greatly extend it's pedestrian streets. Until then, some of the Taller's most impressive rooms may face the impact of traffic noise. I was happier relocating to a room deeper inside the hotel that was quieter.

What a wonderful new discovery! This hotel is amazing in so many ways. There is unique design at every corner, and every detail is well thought out, especially the lighting and perfectly placed power outlets, among so many other practical and aesthetic details. The hotel has a quiet restaurant with delicious food, and quaint outdoor spaces where one can enjoy privacy and tranquility. Every person I encountered went out of their way to make my stay perfect. Thank you so much to everyone.
