Staff was super friendly helped us find a personal driver for our trip and were able to do an early check-in at 5 AM which we appreciated. The staff was all super professional and helpful. Not to mention the view in this place is amazing. I would recommend staying here the only downside was it not having an ice machine, which is understandable. Overall would recommend staying here !

Overall this place is a pleasant place to stay with lots of benefits. The biggest benefit is having VIP access to the funicular. Rooms were kept tidy daily and staff was friendly. Location is perfect, with lots of places nearby to see and dine in.

Good place to stay in Guanajuato

Good hotel at TOP of Funicular. A bit hard to find if arriving by car. Parking is the Monumento de Pipila parking - quite inexpensive. If you like staying out later than 9pm, then get ready to walk up the funicular (not an issue for us). Bring earplugs as hotel is in a public area and can be somewhat noisy.

AC was perfect. Has heat and cold, balcony view was absolutely amazing! Parking is charged separately, and located close to the hotel (I would consider it upstairs); the hotel itself is where the trolley that takes you up and down is. The only kind of downside was the trick to the hot water. You need to open the water faucet and leave it in the middle position for 5 minutes otherwise the water will remain ice cold and there's no in between, it switches from ice cold to boiling hot. But. It's manageable so long as you're not showering over 20 minutes.

Great views. Noise from town could be heard despite distance. Funicular passes made the location work well for us. Carrying luggage up 3 flights to get early Uber before staf arrived was toug.

This property is located up the hill so ensure you plan your day around the schedule of the funicular (trolley thing that transports you from the central area up to the hotel, which is next door to Monumento Al Pipila). The hotel does give you a complementary pass so you get priority and unlimited trips. We didn't find this to be an issue. We did have to take the callejones (side streets with stairs) up to the hotel in the evening. We never had an issue but it could be a risky area at night, even though there are cameras and lighting. Another minor thing is that we did have to wait to get into the hotel a couple evenings as there was no one at the desk and they locked the front door. Within 15 minutes someone did eventually come. The room was large, clean, and more quiet as you were a distance from the downtown area. The views from the room were amazing, as you could see the beautiful colours of Guanajuato!

Staff is friendly, location is great with low city noise, access is a challenge, avoid breakfast. The location is great if you want to stay away from the noise of the people and activities going on in the city and still be very close to everything. The downside is the access to the hotel, if you come from the city's downtown (which will be the case most of the time), you have to use the funicular (cable car), the hotel will give you priority passes which will help you avoid the lane. But, beware, it closes at 9:40pm and 8:40 in the weekends, so you'll have to walk your way up, and is a steep climb with very dark and lonely alleys. So if you plan to visit town at night, you'll have to Uber or climb. The easiest access for your transport to the airport will be up, at Pipila's monument, and that's another set of stairs to climb, and no bellboy, at least none available when we requested help. So be ready to climb 4 sets of stair carrying luggage. If you get to the lobby after 2pm and want coffee, you'll only find cold coffee, not one day during our 7 nights was there hot coffee available. We requested 2 extra towels on day one, and had to remind front desk until we got them at the third day. We ran out of cable TV for a couple of days and no one knew why or how to fix it, it just came back couple days later. We opted for breakfast included, and is not bad, but don't expect variaty, the same every day, chilaquiles with some protein, sweet bread and juice and cofee.
