There were no English-speaking staff at the front desk — which is unacceptable for a hotel. The staff were also rude and culturally insensitive. When I checked in, I submitted my Korean ID card. The lady at the counter laughed and said, “Front Chinese letter, back English. Funny.” That was extremely disrespectful. She should be aware that not all Asian languages are Chinese. I corrected her by saying, “It’s Korean,” but she never apologized. The noise level was also terrible. I understand it’s an old building, and I can tolerate some noise, but I was woken up several times during the night and early morning by loud guests. When I called the front desk to report it, the staff couldn’t speak English at all — and instead of handling it professionally, he came to my door and knocked it, waking me up again. Later, a friend left a gift for me at the front desk. When I went to pick it up, the lady there didn’t even try to look for it and just said, “No gifts.” After I explained several times, she finally found it but then asked to take a photo of my face with her phone “for report.” I have never experienced anything like that in any hotel. I refused, of course. Overall, this stay was very unpleasant. The staff’s behavior, communication issues, and constant noise made it one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had.

Very nice hotel in beautiful Guanajuato

The staff were very helpful during check-in and check-out - storing my luggage and arranging a cab. The breakfast was delicious. My only concern was the stairs in the room - rushing to get downstairs for check out, I slipped on the bottom stair in the room and fell, bruising my arm.

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The staff, the location, the view! I felt like the location was pretty central to all the must see spots. They are accommodating in helping you find tours and the made to order breakfast was delicious! I would highly recommend paying extra for it. The only downfall is all the stairs. You do have to cline up to the main floor 2 flights of stairs and if you have any physical issues request a room on the same floor as the elevator. All the staff was amazing. Thank you all for a wonderful stay! We will be back!

Its a clean but basic hotel. It seems a bit overpriced for not having premium bedding. Its clean and on a good location. The multi-bedroom options may be perfect for families.

I enjoyed the location, clean room and beauty of the property. Disappointed in managements unwillingness to accommodate some requests. I asked to use my breakfast coupon ( which I had already paid for ) a day early as I was checking out a day early from the hotel due to a change in plans. They declined to honor that which I found a bit odd.
