Stayed at Condesa with my girlfriend on two different ocassion recently and found the hotel to be just right for my needs. Great location in the center of town within walking distance of everything. A good restaurant, Sanborns, is right around the corner and the cathedral is only two blocks away. One room faced the street and a.m. street noise was as expected but this is not a hotel where you go to sleep in..although you could. The other room faced the alley with a great view of "la Bufa" and was much quieter. The place was clean and safe and only cost me 35 dlls for a double bed. A bargain even in Mexico.

I admit from reading the previous reviews that my expections were high for this hotel. After seeing other hotels in the city at varying prices I do agree that it is correctly priced- at about $40 before taxes, $47 after. However this was just too much of budget hotel for my mother and me. If price is your first concern this may be adequate for you. We found it depressing. Her mattress was fine but mine was a springy, bumpy mess. The tiles in the bathroom were new but in general the room was only adequately cleaned. We moved the next night to the Quinta Real- I think the most expensive place in town but so beautiful. We stayed here March 14, 2004 and greatly enjoyed Zacatecas.

Right in a perfect location, and relatively quiet. Rooms smallish, but very clean, lots of thick blankets for cool Zacatecas nights, comfortable double bed. Staff was very helpful & tolerant of weak Spanish. Doors lock at night, but staff is always right there to unlock front door. Restaurant onsite (acceptable food, fair rates, nice service, not much ambience). No room phones, no TV, but public Telmex phone right out front door. Short walk to anything in 'historic downtown', easy to find way back too! Nearby convenience stores/bakeries close early, so stock up duirng regular hours. Stayed last week of November 2002. Around ~MN$290.

The hotel is well situated. Most sites are in walking distance, and there are several good restaurants nearby. The room was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff spoke little english, but they tried to be helful. Zacatecas is a beautful city.
