My partner and I just stayed here at the hotel for 2 nights celebrating our anniversary as a staycation in the city. It’s in center but feels far removed. We were in the deluxe room La Cueva with a king size bed, fireplace, huge spa bathtub for 2 people and beautiful views of the garden with an almost private balcony outside of the room overlooking zona Norte. We saw beautiful sunsets here and a rare red moonset. Housekeeper Fidella was so sweet and helpful! She even handpicked a flower arrangement for us from the garden as an anniversary gift. The Free Breakfast was very generous with chilaquiles or omelet included. Make sure to tip generously since although it is free, it is still a restaurant where you’re being served. A stay also includes free entry to museum, which was amazing as others have mentioned. I feel reinvigorated and ready to more deeply connect to the local cuisine and culture. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries and have never had an overall experience quite like this!I’ll definitely be back, even if it’s just for the tub😊

The Na Bolom is a San Cristóbal de las Casas institution well worth a visit for the museum and the garden. It helps to read a bit about the accomplishments and lives of Trude Duby Blom and her husband Frans Blom before visiting, to appreciate what you are seeing. We alway reserve in advance one of the historic rooms with a fireplace whenever we are in San Cristóbal. It's a magical and tranquil place, out of the occasionally chaotic city center. The Crafts Market, Santo Domingo Church, and Textile Museum are an easy walk away up quiet residential streets. The colorful city market and local van transportation to nearby towns like Zinacantán and Tenejapa are just up the street from Santo Domingo Church. The main walking street of Real de Guadalupe is walkable as well. We usually take a taxi back to the Na Bolom after a busy day out. The long-term staff are friendly and wonderful.

One of my favorite little museums and gardens in San Cristobal. Wonderful place to meander and learn the history of this inspiring Swiss woman (and a bit on her Danish husband) and of many of the indigenous people they befriended and advocated on behalf of from the 1950s onwards. The gardens are a lovely place to sit in or to wander and be inspired. There is a small hotel and restaurant and a few other options here, all of which are on the grounds and in the original house where this couple and their adopted Mexican daughter lived and worked for decades.

Visited the museum. Which is mostly about the adventures of the European couple who lived here in the late 1940's and early 50's. Many early photos and artifacts of the loal indigenous people. They depict the life and times of the native population. Rather than race through the exhibit, take some time to sit on one of the leather benches in the entry area. Listen to the birds chirping. Occasionally someone plays the grand piano. Lovely! Enjoy the beauty of the gardens. Wonder what it must have been like to live here.

Love this space. Everything from the restaurant to the house, museum and the gardens this is beautiful and informative. The staff are friendly and helpful. We got to meet an artist from Mass. who was working on an art project for the garden area. The history and efforts put forward by the founders is truly amazing. Grateful for their investment and sacrifice for the indigenous people. Definitely a great, peaceful spot to visit while in Sancris. Enjoy!

I deeply appreciate the time, effort and care put into creating this amazing museum, and keeping it preserved. This is a must see museum in San Chris. Take your time to explore everything including the gardens. Look up to see the trees. The man at the gate was very sweet and helpful. 30 pesos is a small price to pay for a wealth of authentic information. I was nearly moved to tears. Thank you for bringing this awareness to the public.
