I love staying at the older historical hotels in GDL. Hotel Francés just needs some extra touches. Like paint in the rooms and some dusting of the sofas in the reception area. Overall the place is okay. I wouldn’t stay there again just because there’s other hotel with similar prices and better quality. If you are looking for something reasonable priced and just need somewhere to sleep it’s good.

Staff was great and the location excellent but the hotel could use some TLC which looked like it was getting and new mattresses would be great. But I definitely would stay again.

Historical property in the historic district. Wonderful experience. The hotel staff are amazing!

6/10 Good

The hotel is beautiful and clean. What you’d expect for a historical building. However, it was listed as having an elevator. When we arrived we were told that the elevator has not been working for almost 3 weeks since they are waiting for a part that is coming in from Italy. I had my 83 year old mother and handicapped brother going up and down the stairs for two days. Not sure if this is Expedias fault for not updating the listing or the hotel’s.

2/10 Poor

The water and electricity cut off on the middle of the night around 9pm and didn’t turn on until 2am luckily we needed to go to sleep to catch a flight. The staff is very accommodating The only elevator doesn’t work and the 3rd floor is very loud with AC noises and cathedral bells every hour. This is the oldest hotel in Guadalajara and it shows.

6/10 Good

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
