“Cheap hostel with kitchen access, in a good location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

We walked in (Aug '11) and got a room on the other side of the road (with common bathroom) for 150 Pesos. For the price, the room was really nice (if small), and we loved the intricately folded towels. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest but it had hot water. The WiFi signal didn't reach our room so we had to go across the road to the main hotel to access internet.

We liked having kitchen access but there was no dishwashing liquid/soap so the previous guests had left the dishes quite dirty :|. Don't expect much help from the staff either, although they are courteous enough.

Location is quite good, just a couple of blocks away from Real de Guadalupe and yet very quiet. It's a bit far from the bus station though. There are small shops around the corner and also a very good laundry that charges by kilo.

Overall, the place was quite acceptable, with nice views and a decent sitting area too.

“Good price for a pretty hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is a nice hotel with a lovely garden and great views from the terrace. We took one of the rooms on the third floor to have more light. The rooms are a good size, nicely decorated and with a decent bathroom. The room is a good deal at 400 pesos but breakfast wasn’t included. We went to a great place for breakfast around the corner called Las Nubes – if the weather is nice they have tables on their little terrace. There is free wifi down stairs. You can find a better price online than they tell you at reception – just ask for the online advertised price.

Room Tip: Upstairs rooms have more light and air

“Small, Clean and Cheap”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

Stayed here on 10/31 & 11/1 (Day of the Dead). Walked in without reservation and got 2 seperate rooms (myself and father) at 250 Pesos/Night/Room ($20 US). Rooms were across street in older section of hotel, but had good basic cable and fantastic hot water shower. Bed was comfortable too and housekeeping thorough. Did not eat in hotel or use other services. 5 minute walk to pedestrian area of Real de Guadalupe or 20 de Noviembre.

Room Tip: Better room$ are on same side of the street as the reception. But other side of street is cheaper an...

“Ok but small room with a very small bed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. When we arrived they couldn't find our reservation but they managed to find a room for the first night. They then said we would have to change to the hotel across the road for the other two nights. As it turned out this didn't happen. The room was on the top floor and it was small with a very small bed. Shower was great and overall it was clean and tidy. First night they charged us MXN400 then it was increased to MXN450 ;-( but we couldnt be bothered moving. Restaurant downstairs has breakfast but the prices are quite expensive compared to the cares a couple of blocks away. Service was ok but not that friendly

“Rooms surround a lovely garden”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

Basic rooms with a good hot shower! Only disadvantage is that the rooms are humid, the towels did not dry well.
The hotel is at a good location and is reasonable priced (550 pesos for a double).
