Stayed here 2 nights with my 89-year-old father. The rooms were large and comfortable, the courtyard delightful (nice to watch the black phoebes flitting around through the open rooms), the owner (Martin) extremely helpful. Just a block off the plaza. Good restaurant (Carolina's) close by. Highly recommended.

This is the only place I stayed in in Batopilas, so I cannot compare it with other lodgings down there, but I liked it very much. It's very clean, with comfortable beds, and affordable (paid about $40 for two people, no food). The rooms are modest but they definitely have a character, even charm. A beautiful courtyard, and friendly, unobtrusive lady caretaker. Although there is air-conditioning installed in rooms, whether it works or not is another question. In our case, it was out due to the thunderstorm, so pretty sticky night - but that's Batopilas. I was told that the months of May, June, and July are quite unbearable humidity wise. Did not have a reservation, and that was not a problem as there were not too many people visiting.

The Casa Real de Minas Hotel is the place to stay in Batopilas. The hotel is clean, tranquil, and has excellent service.

I spent two nights here as part of a 10 day independent trip arranged though Copper Canyon Adventures in El Fuerte. The hotel is quet and pleasant. The rooms are clean and large, facing an interior courtyard with trees and tropical plants. A few comfortable chirs are in the courtyard and have a view of the canyon slopes above the town. The hotel has a small alcove with framed pictures and displays of Alexander Shepard. The hotel serves no meals, but very good meals are available at restaurants a short walk away.

The small museum in Batopilas in the Residencia is worth a visit. Batopilas is well worth the time and drive to get there. One of the most spectacular drives in the world, with a very pleasant and friendly village to spend the night. (The trip to Batopilas from Creel requires at least 2 days with a minimum of two nights's stay to have a day in Batopilas and Satevo, because of the time required for the drive.)
