Good location near everything in the historic center. Easy to get around. Old hotel. No airconditioning. Fine for 2-3 days.

Nice historic hotel

Pros: Location of hotel is excellent.
Cons: The restaurant was good but could be better. We were on second floor and there were about 60 steps to climb. The elevator was old.
Location: Close to Tapatio Tour buses
We enjoyed our stay here in the heart of Guadalajara.

Great location in the heart of Guadalajara

Pros: Everything
Cons: WiFi
Central location in centro historico -walking distance to mercado San Juan de Dios, central square, la Fuente cantina, 9 esquinas, and other downtown attractions. -fantastic value...clean, and accommodating. Even though my parents are from Guadalajara we were kinda skeptical of the location at first beacause we havent been to Guadalajara for almost 25yrs so everything has changed plus we didnt travel due to the media given a bad image to Mexico. So, if you are reading this and you have doubts into traveling into Guadalajara, dont worry you are safe in Guadalajara just stay away from places that you dont know. My advice if your planning to go to Guadalajara you should stay In this hotel, is not your 5 typical start hotel but the location is perfect, also if you wanna go to places like tlaquepaque, zapopan or tonala theres buses like 2 blocks from the Hotel that would take you anywhere in Guadalajara, make sure you take the Blue bus which is for tourist they charge like 12 pesos which is a $1.25 very nice and comfortable. Also the location is very secure they have cops and marines making sure the tourist are safe plus people are very nice and most of them speak basic english. The only issue I had with this Hotel was the internet I had hard time connecting the internet, but other than that everything was perfect. Im definitely coming back in the next months
