We enjoyed our stay. It is an order hotel, which is common in this town. We have stayed in many of the hotels in Guanajuato and this is one of the older ones. But its rustic charm did not deter us from having a wonderful time ps—There’s no elevator from the ground floor to the first floor.

The staff in the reception were very welcoming and friendly. The waiters and dining staff as a whole made our experience even better. They were friendly and respectful very attentive. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet there a lot. The food there was actually our favorite in the entire city. The cleaning staff for the rooms were great and the bell boys were also very nice and respectful. I would definitely stay there again and would encourage everyone to do the same.

Its a clean but basic hotel. It seems a bit overpriced for not having premium bedding. Its clean and on a good location. The multi-bedroom options may be perfect for families.
