Hotel Quinta las Alondras

This place exceeded all my expectations! Nestled in a quiet, scenic area of Guanajuato, the hotel feels like a peaceful retreat tucked away from the bustling city. From the moment I stepped into the elegant, art-inspired lobby to my cozy and well-appointed room, everything felt thoughtfully designed. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. What really stood out? The natural hot springs pool. Soaking in it at sunset with the surrounding landscape glowing in golden light was pure bliss.

Manzano B&B

Staying at Manzano B&B was a delightful experience, especially during the Cervantino Festival when the city center gets crowded and hectic. Located just outside the main tourist area, this cozy little guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat without sacrificing convenience. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming—warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive throughout my stay. Despite its budget-friendly price, the quality of service and attention to detail stood out. Clean rooms, quiet surroundings, and a homey atmosphere made it feel like a true escape. I’d highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone visiting Guanajuato looking for comfort, charm, and value. Will definitely be back.

Hotel Villa de la Plata

Staying at Hotel Villa de la Plata in Guanajuato was a mixed experience. The location is convenient and the property has a nice charm, but the rooms definitely need more maintenance. The bathrooms and kitchen are in poor condition—some appliances are outdated or missing entirely, making cooking difficult. The windows don’t seal properly, and one of the hallway bathrooms had a window that wouldn’t open. Several light bulbs were burnt out, adding to the sense of neglect. While the overall vibe of the place is appealing, it’s clear that regular upkeep has been overlooked. For travelers who value comfort and attention to detail, this might be something to consider before booking. A little more care in maintenance could go a long way in improving the guest experience.

Hotel Hacienda de Cobos

I stayed at Hotel Hacienda de Cobos for two nights while exploring Guanajuato, and the location was definitely a highlight—just a 20 to 25-minute walk from the city center, and even closer to the Museo de las Momias up in the hills. The neighborhood vibe is authentic and quiet, which I appreciated. However, the building itself feels quite old, and that shows in the room amenities. The Wi-Fi was weak, and since the TV relies on the same connection, some channels loaded poorly or didn’t play at all. There were also noticeable plumbing issues—I couldn’t get hot water at the sink, and despite reporting it, nothing was ever fixed. Breakfast was included but very limited: only three options available, with everything else extra. The menu was entirely in Spanish, and only one staff member occasionally spoke English, so communication was frustrating. Overall, the hotel felt undermanaged, with little effort to address guest concerns. It’s clear the team isn’t proactive about improvements, which makes it hard to recommend unless you’re specifically looking for a budget stay in a historic area.

Hotel Camino de Piedra

Excellent as always! The hotel maintains its high standard with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. My only minor concern is that it takes a while for hot water to come through, resulting in some water waste during the wait. However, this small issue doesn't take away from the overall fantastic experience. Great value, clean rooms, and a peaceful stay—definitely planning to return.

The property is breathtakingly beautiful, with elegant architecture and a refined aesthetic that exudes charm and character. Every detail reflects thoughtfulness—cleanliness, ambiance, and attention to service are all top-notch. It’s wonderfully quiet, making it the perfect retreat after exploring Guanajuato’s lively streets. The dining experience stood out too—the meals were delicious, beautifully presented, and made with high-quality ingredients. We only stayed one night, but it felt like a luxurious escape we never wanted to leave. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Guanajuato.

Nueve 25 Hotel Boutique

This has easily been the best hotel I've stayed at outside of beach destinations. Nueve 25 Hotel Boutique is small and intimate, with just a few rooms—each one incredibly clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The high ceilings give a real sense of openness, and the soundproofing is excellent; you won’t hear any noise from the hallway or other guests. Every room comes well-equipped with air conditioning, a wall-mounted TV, a cozy sofa, a coffee table, a vanity mirror, and a hairdryer—everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location can’t be beat: right in the heart of Guanajuato’s historic center, all major attractions are within a 10-minute walk, and there’s no shortage of great restaurants and street food nearby. The rooftop area is a real highlight—perfect for relaxing with drinks or ordering snacks while enjoying views of the city. Staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to help. The only downside? Parking. The hotel mentions having its own private lot, but it’s not clearly marked or easy to access from the main entrance. We ended up using a nearby public parking garage, which costs around 250 MXN per day—fairly pricey, but manageable. Despite that, the overall experience was outstanding. Great value, exceptional ambiance, and a truly memorable stay. Definitely planning to return.

Casa Corazon de Plata Suites

Staying at Casa Corazon de Plata Suites was an absolute delight. Nestled on a hillside just outside Guanajuato’s city center, this charming boutique-style property offers breathtaking views and a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets below. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and feel very welcoming—like home away from home. One of the highlights is the rooftop terrace with panoramic views, where they serve a delicious homemade breakfast at no extra cost—fresh, hearty, and full of local flavor. While there’s no elevator and you’ll need to climb several flights of stairs (including a beautiful spiral staircase to reach the roof), it’s totally manageable for anyone without mobility issues. The pool is stunningly designed and perfect for relaxing under the sun, even if the water is a bit chilly. Though there aren’t any shops or restaurants nearby, getting around is easy thanks to reliable ride-hailing services like Uber and taxis. The real win? Easy parking—something that’s often a headache in Guanajuato. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service, making us feel truly valued. If you’re looking for tranquility, great views, and authentic hospitality, this place is a must-visit.

Sanbernabé Tres

Staying at Sanbernabé Tres felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and full of character. Rafael and Veronica went out of their way to make us feel special from the moment we arrived. Even though we were an hour early, they happily welcomed us and gave us a personal tour of their beautifully curated B&B, which they’ve lovingly built over the past two decades. Each room has its own unique theme, and we were delighted when they upgraded us to the Sirena Suite—especially since it was our honeymoon. The thoughtful gesture truly made the trip unforgettable. While the garden was under renovation, there were plenty of cozy common areas to relax in, including a charming dining room and quiet library. A small kitchenette with a mini-fridge was stocked with fresh coffee, toast, jams, sweet bread, and fruit for breakfast—a perfect continental start to each day. Clean filtered water and multiple strong Wi-Fi spots kept us connected throughout our stay. What stood out most was the sense of family. Rafael even took our car keys and parked our vehicle safely inside their gate while we explored the town, and when we returned, the car was waiting right outside—no stress, no hassle. Walking around at any time of day felt safe and peaceful. This wasn’t just a hotel; it was a heartfelt retreat that made us feel like honored guests in a close friend’s home. A truly memorable experience.
