The hotel is well located, and it was well kept and cleaned. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was happy to have a fan in the room since it was very warm there. Even having all the windows open there is not much air circulation there. Thankfully the fan was tall, turned side to side and cooled the room. With the cooler and quiet room I was able to sleep well.

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Guanajuato. El callejón del beso, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shops are all walking distance. The only down fall for us is that they don't have hotel parking. Other than that we loved the hotel.

Unique and beautiful hotel in great location. The staff are friendly, professional, and careful. The hotel has beautiful spaces on different levels where one can relax. The included breakfast in my rate included coffee, fresh fruit with yogurt, delicious fresh bread, and my choice of many plates; egg dishes, pancakes, Mexican dishes. All this in a very beautiful space.

Great place - included breakfasts features many choices of both Mexican and gringo entrees. Location is very central for activities in the central part of town. As a fellow poet, a delight to stay in a facility where every room honours another writer. Staff very friendly, accommodating, and forgiving of those of us with minimal Spanish. A special shout out to our amiable camareros, Martin y Fernando!

This is a sweet hotel in a great location. Quiet, super clean and very well run. Staff is excellent. My booking included a nice breakfast. Loved the quiet open terrace on the 4th floor, perfect for getting some work done. Internet was strong too. Room was not fancy but clean, with a comfortable bed.
