"The staff, hotel and location for walking is excellent. We stayed in a large inner room away from the road over one of the outdoor terraces and it was completely quiet day and night. The king bed was very comfortable."
"This is a fabulous location right on the plaza, steps to the university. Be aware Guanajuato in that area is 24/7 with the clubs getting out at 5 am, so ask for a room in the back if that bothers you. Otherwise the front rooms with balconies are spectacular, so bring your noise cancelling earpods or headphones to sleep. The breakfast is great and walking distance to everything. They can set up tours for you. Friendly staff, we loved our short stay."
"The hotel has parking, a delicious breakfast, and a beautiful decor. However, we did not have useful Wi-Fi service. That made it difficult to explore the town and find the places we wanted to go to. I also couldn't do my work."
"Hotel is nice and clean.
Reception people are horrible. We needed some help with the dryer and they would not offer any.
We had to let our clothes get dry in the room for 2 days.
Room it's self:
Balcony door lock is broken.
2 night lamps missing bollbs.
Sink water pressure doesn't exist.
Shower head spray water all over the place but you.
1 elevator was out of order for our entire stay(5days) which created a long and frustrating time to get to your room."
"Me dejó un muy mal sabor de boca en primer lugar tomaron una audífonos y en segundo lugar las camas tenían animales ya se imaginarán de cuales pésima experiencia"
"My wife and I stood 3 nights. The bed was terribly hard and slopping to the side, that I would roll off the bed. The shower needs a new shower head. The curtains need to be blackout to block out the exterior light.
The hotel location was great and within the main plaza. Overall, for a short stay we sacrificed ourselves."
