This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Guanajuato. El callejón del beso, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shops are all walking distance. The only down fall for us is that they don't have hotel parking. Other than that we loved the hotel.

Unique and beautiful hotel in great location. The staff are friendly, professional, and careful. The hotel has beautiful spaces on different levels where one can relax. The included breakfast in my rate included coffee, fresh fruit with yogurt, delicious fresh bread, and my choice of many plates; egg dishes, pancakes, Mexican dishes. All this in a very beautiful space.

Great place - included breakfasts features many choices of both Mexican and gringo entrees. Location is very central for activities in the central part of town. As a fellow poet, a delight to stay in a facility where every room honours another writer. Staff very friendly, accommodating, and forgiving of those of us with minimal Spanish. A special shout out to our amiable camareros, Martin y Fernando!

This is a sweet hotel in a great location. Quiet, super clean and very well run. Staff is excellent. My booking included a nice breakfast. Loved the quiet open terrace on the 4th floor, perfect for getting some work done. Internet was strong too. Room was not fancy but clean, with a comfortable bed.

Great location in a flat part of town and walkable to everything in the Historic Area. Good restaurants and plenty of public transportation. The receptionist was expecting us and we felt welcome immediately. A nice young man took our heavy suitcases to the room and retrieved them at check-out time. The waiters in the breakfast room are professional and pleasant. Nice menu choices and the food and coffee all excellent. MY only suggestion is to supply a hot water kettle and coffee/tea in the room. We will return to this hotel on our next visit to Guanjuanto.
