Casa Florencia Hotel Boutique
We didn’t stay at this hotel, but we did stop by for lunch with the family at their restaurant—definitely worth a visit! The rooms look incredibly comfortable, and the location is peaceful, right across from one of Guanajuato’s most serene and beautiful gardens. Just a 5-minute walk to La Presa La Olla makes it super convenient. The restaurant itself exceeded our expectations: friendly and attentive staff, delicious food, and a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

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 The bathrooms and kitchen are in poor condition—some appliances are outdated or missing entirely, making cooking difficult.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.
Casona San Cayetano Suites & Lofts & Spa by Sce
It’s been a while since our last stay at San Cayetano, but the recent renovations completely exceeded our expectations. The pool area is stunning, and the adjacent relaxation zone is peaceful and perfect for unwinding in the afternoon. High-speed Wi-Fi covers every corner, and the spacious, freshly renovated rooms are spotless and incredibly comfortable. We slept like babies at night—no noise whatsoever. Plus, having secure parking right on-site is a game-changer; just leave your car here and take a quick taxi into downtown Guanajuato, where vehicles can be a hassle. Everything about this place feels thoughtfully designed, from the ambiance to the service. An outstanding experience in a beautifully reimagined hotel—definitely worth returning to.
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 Casa Autora 40
Staying at Hotel Casa Autora 40 in Guanajuato was a fantastic experience overall. The location is ideal—just a short walk from the city center, with plenty of local restaurants and attractions nearby. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated with authentic Mexican charm. I especially appreciated the great value for money and the warm, helpful staff. The only minor downside is the lack of on-site parking, but it’s clearly mentioned during booking, so there were no surprises. For travelers who don’t mind leaving their car elsewhere or using public transport, this is a perfect choice. Highly recommend this charming boutique stay to anyone looking to immerse in the real spirit of Guanajuato.
Casa de Colores
My stay at Casa de Colores was absolutely fantastic. The common areas are beautifully decorated with a vibrant, artistic flair, and the terrace offers an incredible view that makes it perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or evening drink. The room was spacious and comfortable, with excellent shower pressure—no complaints there. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout my visit. I especially appreciated the quiet neighborhood; it was so peaceful, making for a restful night’s sleep. Plus, the hotel is just a short walk from the city center—super convenient for exploring on foot. One thing to note: the room only opens to an internal courtyard, not directly to the outside, but honestly, that didn’t bother me at all—it actually added to the intimate, serene atmosphere. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. I’d highly recommend this gem if you’re looking for a charming, well-located retreat in Guanajuato.
