Holiday Inn Express Tuxtla Gutierrez La Marimba by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"This place is a GEM! I am usually very picky about hotels. But we have stayed here twice and loved it each time! Our favourite hotel in Chiapas! Even compared to more expensive places (e.g., we stayed at the Marriott in Tuxtla and it was not as clean or convenient but double the price). If you care about cleanliness, a walkable but safe location, lovely staff, and great breakfast - stay here! It is really close to Marimba park where there are several festivals and vendors. Also very close to cute shops and markets. I highly recommend this area if you want to explore the real Tuxtla (safely). Can't wait to come back some day."
"The beds here are hands down the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. The hotel’s right inside a shopping plaza, so you’ve got heaps of options for food and shopping just a short stroll away. Great views from the rooms and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. I’d definitely stay here again."
Hostels can be a cheaper alternative to Chiapas hotels, as you can stay in a shared dormitory. There are 7 hostels in Chiapas. Rossco Hostel offers free in-room WiFi and free parking. Casa Janaab Palenque - Hostel has free in-room WiFi and a 24-hour front desk. Real 114 Hostal - Hostel is another low-cost option.
