La Casa de Mi Sub

Immediately upon arrival, when you enter the room there was a strong stench in the room that was musty and or mildewy. We turned on the AC thinking it’d work and checked the bathroom, there was mold in the bathroom. And the walls were cracked in the main room. I’m pregnant, traveling with my son so we couldn’t stay in a room with mold. The gentleman agreed he wouldn’t hold me to the room & when we had to rebook a hotel somewhere else and we were getting ready to leave he said that even though he didn’t have another room he wouldn’t refund us bc the room couldn’t be rented. I advised him that it was not safe to stay in a room with mold and he didn’t care. We had to leave regardless because I was pregnant and couldn’t possibly stay where there’s mold. The room was in poor condition and he had no qualms about renting it in such state. Horrible experience.

Owner is very courteous and friendly, I arrived to the airport at San Cristobal and he personally received me and my girlfriend at the airport and took us to the hotel. Very nice guy, overall it’s a decent place to stay. Nothing luxurious but basic to take a shower and sleep.

This hostal is a good 18-minute walk from the malecon and all the restaurants and shops. Wifi was good, the room was clean, and the AC was cold. The communal areas were great, with lots of nice plants, and I would absolutely suggest this location to anyone with a family using multiple rooms. The nice communal areas outside the rooms would also make this a great choice for smokers. My main complaint was that the window curtains to my room (#12) were extremely thin, and the hall light is motion sensitive and comes on all through the night, and the bright light coming in to the room made it difficult to sleep. Also, there's no blanket at all -- only a sheet.

Extremely satisfied with our stay ! The hosts Me Sub and Dr. Lenin were very helpful and patient. They did not try to market any tour but gave all the ideas and options and the best recommendations for places to visit and food. The clean personnel made sure the towels were changed and room cleaned. For Christmas, there was a nice red theme and towel animals. The shower and a/c were good. The hosts attended to any need right away. It was like staying , worry free with a family . Had a nice time. Godwling, if we get to visit San Cristobal again, we would love to stay here !

I really enjoyed this property and I also understood from other reviews that it was a bit further out of the way. However, the quietness of this property was really appreciated and I enjoyed the 5 block walk. It wasn’t that big of a deal and if you have an issue walking this far, you may want to consider doing more walking each day. The place was clean and I was greeted by the front desk who was very friendly, spoke great English, and made sure that I had everything I needed. Full stars for this property and just want to be clear it’s a 5 block walk to get here and not much around here. Book it if you don’t mind the walk and enjoy the quiet.
