    Good affordable option close to Centro with private bathroom

    We stayed in unit 13, and the shower had very weak water pressure. We also had to climb a narrow spiral staircase to get to the top level, which was difficult with heavy luggage.

    The property was in a great location, easily accessible to Centro. It was also good value for money.

    The room was quite humid with little ventilation (also in the bathroom), and despite staying for 5 nights our room was not cleaned a single time, nor was anything restocked (e.g. we had to go ask for toilet paper). It’s also quite small, and at least our room was noisy (with earplugs this was not a problem though).

    The location is central and the staff are friendly and helpful.

    When we did the checkout, it was a different employee and she was very rude, we pay for a taxi the day before we asked her if she can confirm us the taxi because it was already late in the taxi was supposed to be there at 6 AM. She was not very helpful. We end up leaving around 7 AM we pay the taxi was for 6 AM. we are waiting the taxis 10 minutes before six. We were so disappointed.

    Love the location was very close to theplaza, and it was close to el Mercado, convenience everything was close.

    We had breakfast included, they did not have any vegetarian option - when we asked for it they just offered to cook us some eggs but they charge money for it. They should be more inclusive and include at least one vegetarian option as breakfast.

    Great location.

    The place is located some streets to the center (around 10) and the stairs that you need to use to arrive to the 3rd floor are really tight and it’s difficult to use it with the luggage

    The mattresses can be improved a bit (they were very thin), but besides this everything was ok.

    The location is very good, a bit far from the center but not too much, we walked around a lot. Staff members were good and attentive, we even asked for a rather short notice request and it was handled (laundry).

    Noisy ceiling roof fan. Literally never stop making noise while the light was on. We should turn off the light and the fan to avoid the annoying sound.

    Little bit dirty, bad and old premises. Dull breakfast.

    Some rooms are quite warm with no windows and the bedding isn't super comfortable. The bathroom and rooms are basic overall but do the job for the price

    The fan was good but a bit low for the bed height.

    Excellent location with small market, restaurants and good coffee nearby (Pan Con Madre is very good). Great Mexican style breakfast with a different dish each day featuring tortillas, eggs, beans or similar etc with a sweet bread roll, fresh fruit and diner style drip coffee. Good shower. Nice little balcony with insect screen door. Pretty, colourful decor throughout. Good covered sitting spots outdoors with tables on every floor. Nice spot on top floor for a beer after a long hot day (it's up a small iron winding stairs so avoid if you're not good with heights). Friendly staff. Free drinking water. Quiet at night.

    I could have stayed longer...ha

    breakfast was always great....not the same everyday which is good. I will return. I stayed for almost 2 weeks as my base camp. Staff always very helpful and friendly even though I do not speak Spanish... A small hotel with 12 rooms but very beautiful courtyard space to sit in, plan the day, and have breakfast. A very secure place which allows only personal access at night....I basically had doors and windows open a lot of the time so I felt like I was in a big house....not a big hotel.

    Breakfast barely adequate. Bad coffee. No AC (broken) and it was 96 degrees. Very hot inside the room. Fans didn't do much. Only one staff member spoke English and he worked evenings. We knew our travel options which was good because the hotel provided no information.

    Location good. Near a small mercado, 2 mole restaurants, print making shops.

    Only drops came out of the shower and we had no hot water. My daughters stayed in room #1 which was on the same floor as us and they had wonderful water flow and hot water. Also we were assigned the 3rd floor and it has a very narrow winedy staircase which is very dangerous. Free breakfast is questionable. Don't get me wrong the posada is great just has to mention these things.

    The rooms are a good size. The posada is clean and the front desk are nice.

    Nice communal areas and rooftop and a good location in town. We picked the budget room which was a pretty dank option with a caged skylight and a heavy wooden bed head that leans precariously over you while you sleep. One of the funnier rooms we stayed in within Mexico but that’s what you get with budget rooms. Friendly staff, good value and the other rooms look nice 👍

    A bit run-down, especially the bathrooms. One toilet didn't have a toilet seat. The breakfast was so-so, and not very large portions. We had to pay 200 pesos for them to hold our luggage for us for 2 nights, even though we were coming back to stay again.

    Pretty courtyard with plants and flowers, and a patio/terrace with tables and chairs. Book exchange. Friendly service at the front desk. Water available to fill up water bottles. Breakfast included.
