Overall, the hotel is very pretty and within walking distance of pretty much everything. We were right next to a departure point for the tours we took and the staff in the hotel were very nice. We were able to check in early and check out a little bit late without issues. The only things we didn't like were that the fridge in our room was not working and the WiFi in the hotel could be spotty at times. Also, there were a few days were we didn't have hot water. None the less, we had a very pleasant time.

Un pequeño detalle que se resuelve fácil
me he hospedado mas de 5 veces en esta hotel, inclusive la misma habitación en 2 ocasiones y mi experiencia es muy agradable, excepto en esta ocasión, ya que tenia una falla eléctrica en la habitación por el interruptor de tarjetas (sugiero eliminarlas, no son muy fiables), pues, al usar la secadora o plancha se interrumpía el servicio eléctrico, también solicite agua para beber por la noche y me dijeron que no tenían en ese momento. Eso no frustro ni un poco mi viaje. Se que en mis futuras visitas no será así, la comodidad ahí es genial, la limpieza muy detallada y la habitación con un estilo muy lindo.

Could have been a great stay...
We stayed at their supplement hotel with 3 very nice 2 storied lofts with kitchenettes. Unfortunately we were in the middle with a loft on either side of us. There was a bunch of young travelers with dogs, including a puppy, staying in the 2 suites. They partied all night loudly, playing music and singing until 9 am the following morning, which is when we left on a tour. It's too bad we didn't get to experience the wonderful comfy beds to the max. We couldn't sleep for the noise. Not that we would have complained, but there wasn't a phone in our room to call anyone to say anything to had we wanted to. It was really not a pleasant experience. Otherwise the hotel was very nice. It was very cold, being San Cristobal, so bring your jammies and no heaters to be found. Very close to the cento and many good restaurants in the area. Not sure if we'd return.

Cold hotel with no room heating in winter months.
First of all I am a professional photojournalist (National Geographic, Unesco) and have stayed in more than 3000 hotels in 160+ countries during the past 40 years. That said I want to make a strong criticism of the Hotel Helverica in San Cristobal. While the hotel is well located near the central square and many restaurants, and the staff was generally good, the lack of hearting in the winter months is a problem. If one is spending the entire day outside this will not be a problem but if one wishes to stay inside one’s room to work on writing such as I do, then the unpleasant cold temperature will be very bothersome. I asked for a heater but was rudely informed that I had not paid for one and would be charged extra. This seemed wrong to me, given that I was paying more than $75 per night for the room. I have stayed in many, many hundreds of hotel rooms where the heating was provided at no extra cost and feel that the Helverica is definitely overcharging for the service it gives. The additional cost for heating is NOT mentioned anywhere on Hotels.com and I think this is at the expense of the client. My advice: do not use this hotel or be ready to be uncomfortable cold.
