Hotel France has been a Guadalajara favorite of mine for years. Whenever I visit Guadalajara, this is the hotel I choose to stay at. It has so much charm, character, and beautiful antique touches that make it truly unique. The staff is incredibly friendly and always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and help with anything you need. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the bar is wonderful, and the breakfast is excellent. I absolutely love staying here and would highly recommend Hotel France to anyone visiting Guadalajara.

The bathroom was so tiny, there were too many steps in the room, we ordered one room but was given a bigger one that we were charged for, the jacuzzi jets did not work & the tub flooded the floor & no one spoke English. (we speak some Spanish so it was ok, but for someone with none, I would not recommend staying here.) The air conditioning was nice & the bed was comfortable.

The room felt very dated and was not particularly comfortable. The bathroom, especially the shower, was also outdated, and the shower design caused water to spread across the entire bathroom floor. Overall, the room could benefit from significant updates and renovations.
