My wife and I spent 5 days at this new boutique hotel, and had a wonderful experience. The location is great, outside of the bustle of the centro, but only a 10 minute walk to the main part of town. The pedestrian only streets are full of shopping, bars, and restaurants. Grab a coffee or glass of wine and sit at one of the many outdoor tables, and partake in the vibe of the city and all the great people watching. We stayed in one of the rooms that are built around the cypress trees. There was a tree in the main part of the room, and also one in the shower. Such a unique element. The king size bed was comfortable, with high end bedding. The room has all the amenities you would expect from a high end hotel (large flat screen TV, toiletries, iron and board, coffee and coffee maker, bottled water, hair dryer, USB power outlets, alarm clock, safe, etc) The entire property is beautiful, with a lovely courtyard surrounded by huge cypress trees. The el Colibrí bar is fully stocked for any time of the day. Coffees and espresso drinks in the morning, afternoon cocktails, and evening wine. The cafe has a nice selection of breakfast dishes, sandwiches, tapas, and even full dinners. Wifi is strong throughout the property. Speedtest in our room showed 100 Mbps upload and download. The owners have truly created something special. And they’re lovely hosts. Super friendly, fun, and accommodating to any requests. They gave us great recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and tours of different places in Chiapas. Definitely take a tour to Sumidero canyon, and also to the town of Chamula. San Cristobal is such a great city to visit, and Hacienda Valentino is the perfect home base to explore the city. We will definitely return, and without a doubt, we will stay at HV again.
