We're big fans of the hard-working family behind the original Hostal TIJCAL, so we were delighted to hear that the same crew had opened a second venue just a few blocks away. The Hostal Tijcal II might not have the same cherished location as its brother hotel, but it's got totally renovated rooms and an extra rating star to compensate.
Eduardo, the very friendly owner, took us on a tour of the rooms. The Tijcal II isn't exactly chic, but it is cheerful. Bedspreads and curtains are brightly colored and happy prints hang on the walls. Everything is brand new, from the modern wooden furniture to the well-equipped baths. After visiting so many places decorated ala Grandma, this was a welcome treat.
Walls, windows, and floors are soundproofed for an extra restful stay. The TIJCAL II is on the second floor, but don't expect a lift. And if you want to turn on the air-conditioning, you'll need to shell out an extra five euros.
