We LOVE LOVE LOVE Hotel Yasmin and as of October 2011 they have a small pool AND wi-fi!! Also, as of July 2011, it is very colorfully painted (no longer all white) This family owned hotel is one block from the beach. Very economical, affordable, comfortable, and peaceful. I've been going to PV for over 35+ yrs, and my stays at the Jasmin have always been very pleasant. The staff are very courteous and at least one understands English. Pls remember NO credit cards taken here. The rooms aren't the Ritz, but cute and comfortable. AND never in my 35+ years have I ever seen a bedbug. Cucarachas outside, yes, but they are tropical bugs, not ones from being filthy. Being from Hawai'i, we have the flying ones too! With that being said, I know for a fact that the Yasmin fumigates when necessary. The popular Café de Olla (closed on Tuesdays) is right next door. What we also appreciate is there is security on premises and front gates are locked at 11pm. Excellent for single women! The one thing they do NOT have is telephones, but, hey, you are on vacation. There is a Ladatel/Telmex pay phone across the street on the corner. Overall, you can't go wrong here, especially for the budget conscious. I sincerely hope you enjoy like we have all these years!

Unlike the reviewer below who thinks if you stay here your crazy we rather like the Hotel Yazmin. We have stayed here 5 times now over the last couple of years and have recommended the hotel to personal friends who also liked thier stay. 5 times 5 different rooms and haven't seen a bug like the last reviewer said.
The Yazmin is in the heart of Old Town Puerto Vallarta and is a one block stroll to Puerto Vallarta's famous malecon and one block to the beach.Some of Puerto Vallarta's best restaurants are on the same block as this hotel and there are 100's of eateries and bars within 3 or 4 blocks. The hotel is not new by any means,but it is clean and well kept and the staff are courteous and some speak great English and know the area well.
We will say that if your the type of person you go's to Puerto Vallarta to be tucked into bed at 8pm then ask for a room in the back of the hotel or stay at a $200 a night sterile Americanized resort as Basilio Badillo ave can be quite the happening place at night.If your the type to go to Puerto Vallarta to enjoy yourself and the night life then this is a economical ,close to everything place to stay.
Our only complaint is there is no Internet which we were assured by the staff they are working on getting,however there are plenty of restaurants on the same block that have free wi-fi.

OMG, are you people crazy? Sure this hotel is a block from the beach, but it's also next to an extremely popular restaurant and so, is really loud until about midnight. I had ear plugs and boy was I happy I brought them. But the caper is that I left this hotel itching like crazy, with bites all over my arms and legs.

In addition, you need to pay extra for the AC, which you pretty much will need bc the rooms get stuffy. I would advise people to steer clear of this place, even if it as a "great deal."

Great place to stay.. close to beach & restaurants. I personally had a great stay. Friendly staff & clean. Price was great as well. I would rather stay in the Zona Romantico instead of Nuevo Vallarta.
