“beautiful rustic hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

This hotel is only about 5-7 years old but made to look 200 years old. It is very quaint with just 5 rooms all of varying sizes and prices. I stayed in the room entitled Neptune. Julia Roberts stayed in the room entitled Neptune when she was making "the Mexican" with Brad Pitt. Neptune has a fireplace. I bought some firewood (kinda green-but got it going) for 7 USD delivered to my door. in the winter the nights are very chilly and the room is very cold--but the rustic feel is well worth it. Good water pressure, hot water. Bed is King size and comfortable. There are few ameneties, but again, expected of this rustic hotel. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Wireless internet is available from a local coffee shop or in the hotel lobby. The signal did not reach Neptune. This hotel is probably the most expensive in Real de Catorce. you'll need to be in good shape to walk up and down the hill to the hotel as it is about 200 meters from the city center. I have stayed here 3 times. I recommend it. Just realize what you're getting into--rustic, quaint, more quiet than other options near the town square.

Room Tip: all rooms are good, depends on price

“Great authentic getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2007

person found this review helpful

Real de Catorce is a small town tucked away in the mountains of central Mexico. To get there you need to take a small bus through the old silver mine tunnel. There are no taxis, few cars, but many horses. The hotel was small, very clean and private. Our room was completely separated from all the others, very quiet and relaxing. We stayed for a week, and just walked around, relaxed, sketched and took many photos. The hotel owner and staff were very helpful, even giving us a ride to the bus stop very early on our last day there (with our heavy suitcases). There are good restaurants in the town, we tried nearly all of them. This is still a very authentic and safe Mexican town, and so far, not crowded. If you go there in the winter, be warned that it gets cold, especially at night. The hotels do not take credit cards, but there is one ATM in the middle of the town. The town and the hotel are highly recommended if you want to go somewhere different in Mexico. It helps if you can speak some Spanish.
