PaulUnited States · Jan 9, 2026 10Exceptional
Liked : The place has lots of character, the staff are super friendly and very very helpful. The place is located near all kinds of places with good cheap food and charm.
Disliked : There is trade off between quiete and being. Centrally located. I’m picky though because I would prefer living in the woods if I had my way.

KarenUnited States · Nov 10, 2025 8Very good
Will definitely stay there again
Liked : My third visit there and never disappointed. Staff is very friendly and speaks enough English for me! Very helpful.
Disliked : Unfortunately, the hot water is an issue. I think they have a very old boiler and it takes some patience! Not a big deal, on vacation so I had all the time in the world. Just a little annoying when you’re in the middle of a shower And it turns cold. Lol.

ElizabethUnited States · Mar 4, 2024 10Exceptional
Worthwhile stay -- highly recommended
Liked : Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Artistic and eclectic decorations.
On the main drag for music and people watching.
Generous hostess always offered coffee. She spoke English pretty well. Bell chimed to let her know when someone present.
Nice kitchen with plenty of appliances and nice lighter for stove.
Soft pillow. Convenient outlets. Clean
Pleasant, upbeat atmosphere.Disliked : Street noise but, of course, couldn't be helped.
Bathroom light went out too frequently.
Cold shower 🥶 -
MatthewUnited States · Jun 19, 2023 10Exceptional
The staff was extremely helpful and particularly welcoming. I was able to watch the USA vs Mexico game in the lobby. As
Liked : The location is in the Centro and within walking distance from the market and many restaurants. Cabs to various parts of the city is great. Don’t forget to visit the various lakes and casadas.
Disliked : Considering the location is in el centro, one should expect there to be noise from the street and in the evening. Overall, it is manageable.

LeFrance · Apr 26, 2024 10Exceptional
Liked : The place is really cosy, it feels like home. The people working there are amazing. They have the best hot shower in the whole country.
Disliked : It's very much in the city center, so it's a bit noisy - that's what one gets when they stay downtown.
