Alice, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Here's a polished and more professional version of your review while keeping your voice and experience intact: --- The hotel is definitely older, but that’s part of its charm and character. We enjoyed our stay—staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Check-in was a bit slow, but we were eventually taken care of. One of the best parts is the location: just a short walk to the cathedral and many major tourist attractions, with two fantastic cafés on either side of the hotel Cafe Arte and Chai (best breakfast). It’s truly a convenient base for exploring the area. The hotel also offers helpful services like organizing tours to other areas Tequila, Tlaquepaque, Tonola etc, airport transfers, and other arrangements as needed. In the evenings, they host entertainment such as mariachi, tribute bands, and live music. We attended each event and had a great time relaxing with a few drinks. Cleanliness could use some improvement, but it was generally acceptable. We visited in July, and it was extremely hot with a noticeable mosquito presence—both indoors and out—so we recommend bringing bug spray. This isn’t really a hotel issue, just something to be aware of when visiting during the summer. Overall, a pleasant and memorable stay with a lot of local flavor.
Krystal, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good hotel on a budget
Mayra, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was amazing! Welcoming and helpful. The beds need to be updated tho. They are clean but the mattress is hard.
KARINA, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We had a chitty room on the 3rd floor, unlike the original charming 2nd. and 3rd floor rooms. Both over-priced and well-worn!
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Dated, needs new lobby furniture

I was supposed to stay here on Monday 4-13-25, but it was so chaotic. Also very dated and dirty furniture in lobby, I really didn't want to go and see the room. Seemed dangerous with so many people coming and going with no visible security
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Internet did not work. Checking in was bit chaotic. The lobby is nice. Not a bad stay for the price overall
Erik, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We honestly opted to move to another hotel without complaining. There is the process of remodeling and I hope once it’s completed there will no longer be issues with the AC. This is not a reflection of the staff as they tried to make us feel comfortable
Noemi, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

great location. would pick a larger room next time that is NOT on the street. Pretty noisy.
Lola, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For the age (established in 1610) this is a fantastic stay and right next to the main plaza in downtown Guadalajara!
Geneva, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super location
Josefina, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was very special because it was recommended by a very special friend of mine. I was very happy that I stayed there, the bellmen were very helpful and nice.
