We stayed at Hotel Boutique Ponciano in Guanajuato with my family to ring in the New Year. The location was excellent—just steps away from the event venue, which made it convenient for us. However, our experience turned out to be far from satisfactory. Right from the start, we struggled with basic amenities: the shower water was icy cold, and flow was barely noticeable—especially during winter, when you really need warmth. In another room, the sink wouldn’t drain properly, so water would just sit there after brushing teeth or washing hands—an unpleasant sight. The rooms had no heating system, and the small heater provided at reception did almost nothing to warm up the space. To make matters worse, the hotel has no parking facilities and offered no alternative solutions. For the first two nights, we had to pay $25 per hour at a nearby private lot—costing us a fortune. Later, we noticed a free public street parking spot right outside the hotel. We parked there and confirmed with local traffic authorities that tourists are allowed to use such spaces. Despite this, the hotel owner called us late one evening demanding we move the car immediately, claiming his presence required the spot. When we explained it was public parking and confirmed by officials, he dismissed us, threatening to remove our plates if we didn’t comply. We were frightened—not wanting to risk conflict with someone who likely had local connections—so we moved the car. Later, we returned with a traffic officer present, who confirmed the parking was perfectly legal. Still, we felt pressured into compliance due to intimidation tactics. Beyond the poor service, the owner’s behavior toward staff was extremely disrespectful—he shouted at an employee in front of guests, clearly frustrated over something we’d already been told wasn’t an issue. This lack of professionalism, combined with the subpar facilities, unreliable infrastructure, and overall disregard for guest comfort, makes me regret every moment spent here. I cannot recommend this hotel under any circumstances.

Staying at Hotel Luna was an absolute delight. Housed in a historic building over 100 years old, the hotel sits right in the heart of Guanajuato’s charming downtown area—perfect for exploring on foot. The architecture and design are stunning, blending old-world charm with modern comfort. The on-site restaurant is incredibly popular, often packed with guests, and features live music that adds to the vibrant atmosphere. Breakfast is a highlight—multiple meal options are included in your stay, though a 10% service tip is expected (not included). While it’s a small extra cost, the quality of the food makes it well worth it. The location, ambiance, and attention to detail make this hotel truly special. If you're visiting Guanajuato, this is a must-try for an authentic and memorable experience.

The owner was incredibly kind—arrived at 5 a.m. and the room wasn’t ready yet, but we were welcome to wait in the lobby without any hassle. What truly stood out was seeing the owner quietly sweeping the floor downstairs just to keep the space clean and comfortable for us. Small gestures like this make such a big difference. A real highlight of our stay!

Staying at Hotel de la Paz in Guanajuato was an absolute delight, especially for the location. The hotel is perfectly situated just a short walk from the city center, making it super easy to explore the magical night views of this historic gem. As soon as you step out, the colorful buildings on the hillsides come alive under the soft glow of evening lights—like something out of a dream. The view from Monumento al Pípila is breathtaking, offering a panoramic glimpse of the entire city sparkling below. Teatro Juárez shines in the dark with its elegant neoclassical design, adding a touch of cultural charm. And then there’s Jardín de la Unión—the heart of the city—where the lively atmosphere, ambient music, and warm lights from nearby cafes create such a romantic vibe. If you're lucky enough to visit during the Festival Internacional del Globo, the whole town transforms into a dazzling display of light art and projections. Everything about this place feels vibrant yet authentic. The hotel itself is quiet, clean, and well-located—perfect for travelers who want comfort without sacrificing convenience. I’d highly recommend it for anyone visiting Guanajuato.

The Hotel Ex-Hacienda San Xavier exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and attentive—always ready to help with anything I needed. The atmosphere blends colonial charm with modern comfort perfectly, making it feel both historic and cozy. Located in a quiet yet accessible part of Guanajuato, it’s easy to explore nearby attractions on foot or by public transit. Every detail was thoughtfully done, from the spacious rooms to the beautiful courtyards. This place feels like a hidden gem. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Guanajuato—it’s not just a hotel, it’s an experience.
