This is one of the most interesting hotels I have stayed at. Built in the 60s, but looks much, much older. Had a few minor issues like not enough towels and soap, no plugs near the bed, a broken part of the bed, but was definitely worth what we paid for it in character alone. The a/c was great and the hotel was relatively quiet. I recommend if you’re not super picky.

The staff is amazing all the time. The facilities need some arrangements, for example mi TV could'nt work properly, my AC could'nt work properly. Its an old but amazing hotel. But I insist, the staff amazing!!! The restaurant serves everything delicious. The castle is really close to the center of Guanajuato.

As we were walking towards our room, we hear estrange/scary noises in the hallway. When we entered the room we saw 2 big cockroaches, the toilet did not work. We went back to the reception and requested another room (reception staff was kind).This room was hot and the A/C wasn’t working. The towels were dirty. We decided to leave the property and look for another decent hotel. Finally,found one, by then, it was the middle of the night.

This was actually my first time staying at this hotel because I believed it was of good quality. which is especially difficult when you have a one-year-old baby. My room had cockroaches. They did give us another room, but it was small and the blankets were stained. The water of the shower was leaking the a/c unit was not working.

The castle is so beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking. The mattress are good but the bed frame needs to tighten up as it makes lots of noise. The restaurant staff is very helpful and friendly but the food isn’t good.
