Our room was small, but cozy (1 bed, 2 adults). I loved the poet theme and found the whole place cute and quirky. I’ve seen reviews about the showers and hot water so I want to mention our experience. Our shower did take a few minutes to get the hot water going, but once we had hot water it stayed hot long enough for both of us to shower, so overall it was not an issue. WiFi also worked well. The location was great for us. Just a few minutes walk to downtown, restaurants, and bars. It was close enough to the city center that we could usually walk back to the hotel to use the bathroom instead of paying to use public facilities. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. We were able to get by with minimal Spanish speaking skills. Overall, for the price and location, I would stay here again if I’m lucky enough to visit Guanajuato in the future.

A lovely hotel, with very friendly, helpful, and responsive staff the location is great for seeing the sights of Guanajuato, though it can get loud during the evening and nights as there’s 2 bars down the street. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast served at the hotel restaurant was about as tasty as any other establishment in town. Overall, great value for the price of the stay.

Excelente hotel, muy buen servicio, y muy bien ubicado. La cama fue un poco incómoda para mí, pero a mi pareja no le molestó. Sería útil que le pusieran algún indicador en las llaves de la regadera para saber cuál es fría y cuál es caliente y no tener que desperdiciar agua investigando.

Stop searching! Book a room. You won’t regret it

Stop looking for a hotel in centro GTO. Seriously! We stayed in a very quiet room. Was dark and quiet for sleeping. Room 101B. An excellent room as I am a light sleeper. This hotel is truly close to everything and will not disappoint. If you have trouble with stairs - this isn’t the place for you. I may be 100% wrong, but the elevator I saw did not go to reception. A handicap guest would have to climb 2 sets of stairs. Albeit beautiful stairs. The staff are lovely & always helpful. English is spoken. I’m trying to speak more Spanish & they surprised me. We practiced together.
Quiet old world charm.

I got the room 200B. There are windows but windows are to the hall way not outside. This made it hard to see sunlight. And it’s lack of privacy.
