Book a Hotel near Church of San Juan Cosala, Guadalajara

This was a beautiful Spanish colonial style home. The courtyard and fountain were lovely. The attention to detail in the décor and in possible needs of the guests was commendable. Beautiful vintage china (I'm a collector) and local glassware and many extras available for the guest's use. The owner, Margaret, is very personable. Our transport from the Guadalahara airport took us first to her own home before we headed to the hacienda. In her home I mentioned how much I loved the freshly cut gardenias on her table. She brought some out to the hacienda for me to enjoy during our stay. This was really too large a home for just the two of us, we didn't really use the whole house but it was lovely. We kept imagining all of our children and grands being with us here. I'd recommend without hesitation.

Excellent personal attention, local guidance and great breakfast! Like family.

The property is really quaint! It's actually very nice, with a couple of patios, and my room had a table with chair just outside my door, a great place to just sit and relax. Though I could have sworn I had read the rooms had Air Conditioning, they do not. I was worried that this would be a huge issue because I live in a very hot area and cannot live without AC during the summer months, it was not an issue at all. The room did have a portable fan, which I used, but I would have been fine without it. The room was fine, the bed was comfortable, and bathroom was spacious and clean. The one thing I really didn't like were the ants in the bathroom. There were two tiny holes in the walls that gave the ants access. The ants did not go beyond the trail they made, but still, they are ants! The best thing about this property is location! It's in the best part of Ajijic, with so many great restaurants within a 3 block distance. The malecon, or esplanade, was just as close and a delight to walk. I would go back here because of the location. The employees were very friendly and answered all the questions I had. The bar never seemed opened, and no one was ever in it.

Very lovely older hotel, located only 4 walkable blocks to the center of town. Gorgeous architecture! Positives: friendly & helpful staff; excellent food in the restaurant; rooms are clean & big. Negatives: Restaurant closes at 6 pm (right at the beginning of most people’s dinner hour); mattress was lumpy & needed to be flipped as there were 3 body-shaped grooves into which you’d slide; overhead fan just doesn’t move enough air, leaving the room feeling stifling at night (even with windows open); neighbors have a dog that barks all; draperies & hardware in the room need repair & updating. There was construction going on in the restaurant just below our room, starting at 9 am every morning, including Saturday. We should have been notified and given the option of a room located away from the construction sounds. With the construction & barking dogs, it wasn’t as restful as we would have liked. All in all: A lovely, quaint property with a very friendly and accommodating staff. Nevertheless, it is about 75% of the way to being a spectacular place to stay.

Beautiful property! Charming with lots of gardens, beautiful touches and details throughout

It was like a self-contained tropical paradise complete with instant friends.
