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.

Decent property for just your basics. Great AC which was a must. Elevator didn’t feel the safest so opted to just walk up and down the stairs which I didn’t mind at all. Hallways are dark at night time not a lot of lighting. But location is excellent right in the middle of centro histórico.
