My Mexican Brother in law recommended and booked this hotel for my wife & I which may be why we got one of the nicer rooms. With these classic older hotels I've come to expect minor issues but we didn't have any. The plumbing worked well, towel supply was OK and everything was clean. Other posters are correct about the noise (church bells about 6AM) but we didn't let that bother us. The gentleman at the front desk gave us some good restaurant tips and overall was very accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

This hotel is beautiful, you are staying in an old mansion and if you are interested in architectural elements there is much to see in this place. We looked in several rooms besides our own and they are all tasteful, modern with an old elegant feel. Flat screen t.v. was a bonus and good beds. Excellent restaurant in the courtyard for breakfast or lunch, a very extensive menu, larger than most around, so you can try something different every day. Felt very safe, no problems with theft at all. However it may have been the slow season because we felt like we had the run of the hotel, which was nice. Excellent location a half a block from Jardin Principal. OK, so there was some noise, we stayed on Saturday and Sunday nights, coming from outside the window. However, I think that's the price you pay if you want to be close in and walking distance to everything. And it's not crazy Guanajuato nightlife noise, which is much noisier. I just loved the hotel, thought it was so quiet, safe, and beautiful, but there are some negatives to consider: challenging to find parking, you will have to park in the street or at a parking lot and walk over; a couple of the rooms do not have windows, they have a fan but no a/c and those rooms would be hot in the summer; and no rooms have a/c and it was pretty warm, even with window open and fan on.

This hotel is charming, beautiful, nice restaurant in the courtyard, close to everything and after 2 nights, I have to get out of here! Okay, there are 2 festivals in town, but come on! I am trying to sleep here! Church bells, fireworks at night and for some reason at 7am, music and cheering until 4 am, conversations of people in the restaurant...it is maddening. Room is also so bright in the am, even with the white, unlined curtains drawn (go figure!). Not even sure I can get my money back....waiting on the manager to call me back.
So, if you like a party and have narcolepsy, this is the place for you!

if my camera was not stolen, i'll give this hotel a 4 star rating: unbeatable price at 800 pesos a night, great location and a comfy bed with amazingly clean bathroom, this is truly a great bargain in the town.

however, one night after exploring the city, i went back to put my bag and left my camera in it before heading out to the rooftop bar nearby for a drink and catch the sunset. upon return, i found both my camera and charger missing. luckily, they seemed to have missed out on my laptop that was left charging on the floor by my bed.

in terms of noise level, i have no problem with it at all, and i am an ultra light sleeper. i actually managed to get a better night's rest here than the W at Mexico city! the 2 nights spent here were actually very quiet.

still, i believe this to be a great hotel in a good location and i will recommend it, but just be careful of your belongings...
