La Casa De La Marquesa

This hotel was at one time a wonderful place to stay. In fact, I stayed there several years ago and had a generally good experience. Unfortunately, the standards have eroded since then. One thing that should be a concern to everyone is the inflated description of the rooms. Most are described as being suites, but in truth they are simply ordinary hotel rooms. On the positive side, breakfast in the hotel restaurant can be a pleasant experience, especially when the windows are open with views to the street and the passersby. My suggestion to travelers would be to find an alternate hotel that is in the same general location.

The building is very unique, and has a lot of charm. With that charm came very unreliable internet throughout. Unfortunately, the staff were not responsive to this issue. Their indifference was a little annoying, because I was counting on the connection to be able to take care of some work. Overall, this was an OK hotel, but not worthy of rave reviews.

For the type of hotel I expected a better set up for the room. It is okay though.

the surroundings are so historical and the personell so well trained that the stay was as always perfect.

Beautiful hotel, Mexican Colonial architecture at its best. Nice personnel. Complains: The menu at the restaurant promissed stuff that they did not have (some specific fruits, moles, etc.), the problem was that they did not inform you before ordering, they just gave you something different. The maid did not replace bathroom amenities.

Ideal location in historical centre of Queretaro. Usual small town noises of Church bells, sirens, cheerful pedestrians and local fiestas. Total peace and quiet resides elsewhere. Authentic, and unique renovation of an Historical Marquesas' House.

centro is very interesting and charming to stroll around.

First let me say that the Casa de la Marquesa is a nice hotel. The rooms are very spacious with oversized bathtubs and are very quiet. the location is excellent. I guess my only complaint is that I had very high expectations. Most focus on the public space in the main building. While the architecture is truly beautiful, the furnishings look dated and worn. My room was in the bulding across the street from the main building. The room furniture is sparse and the mattresses, while passable, are nothing special. The toiletries are standard issue. While in this building do not expect to find staff in the lobby during the evening and early morning hours. A security gaurd was nice enough to pur me a cup of his coffee though. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. The night of my stay i went to the bar of the hotel to have a drink at 9:30 PM to find that it was closed, as was the restaurant. Overall, I would say this is a clean, nice and convenient place to stay. Just dont have expectations of luxury.
