The hotel has a good location. However, there are no phones in the rooms to contact the front desk, which I find inadequate. One morning we didn’t have hot water, which was very inconvenient. Additionally, the hotel does not offer room service, which I also believe should be improved. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and attentive.

Loved Gala Boutique!

Loved the friendly staff at the reception and cleaning lady, as well as the restaurant staff and the food was amazing too! The small terrace was an extra touch, the bed was very comfortable and bathtub was beautiful and the water was hot and had good pressure. And the neighborhood was quiet and had great restaurants within walking distance.

The Hotel y beautiful, the people that works there everyone gives the most professional service. The neighborhood is lovely, full of coffes and restaurants, the only thing is that as soon as we got to the hotel we were advertised to take taxi instead of walking at night due to the not safe situation, which we believe is not only on that neighborhood, however we just had great experience in Guadalajara. Definitely a lovely time spend there.

Highly recommended; attentive staff and service, very comfortable, great location. We found the music loud but that is probably more a function of us being older and out-of-touch; younger travellers would likely enjoy the musical ambiance.

This was my second trip to Gala Boutique Hotel. I will be headed there again soon. The location could not be more convenient, The staff is lovely and so helpful. The hotel itself is stunning and seeing the 100 year old buildings or homes turned into hotels so super cool. The beds are extremely comfortable and the over all look is just hip and chic. As a bonus there is a plunge pool!! I would recommend this hotel to anyone wondering if it might be the place for them while in Guadalajara.

Gala was a perfect escape! The property is gorgeous. Its a historic building that was constructed in 1902. I stayed in one of the smaller rooms for a few days. Since I was out most of the day, the size didn’t matter. The last two days of the trip, I decided to upgrade to one of the larger rooms. It was definitely worth it! Room 8 has french doors that open out into the pool area. The staff were attentive and pleasant. Everyone greets you and ensures you’re enjoying your stay. Very convenient that Hera Cafe is connected to the property and you can walk over in the morning for complementary breakfast and coffee. The property is located near a handful of restaurants and cafes. A 10-15 minute Uber ride and you’re in another neighborhood with more restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. I would return.

Our stay

We stayed there for a week; everything went smoothly. Our only complaint is the taxi recommendation to go to another town. We suffered the whole round trip without A/C on a hot day, plus the driver came with a sick boy( they aren't going to use that guy anymore!). Our room was clean and tidy, the staff were kind, the breakfast was delicious, and it was quiet. We are happy that we stayed there.
