This property is gorgeous and well worth the price. Some people mentioned the standing fan was not enough, but I found it to be just fine at night with the screen door open. The only small thing I expected was for the bedding to be cleaned and swapped out when the room was cleaned. All of the same bedding was just reapplied during cleaning and not swapped with new clean items. However, given the environmental friendliness and water cautiousness of the hotel, I can appreciate not wanting to waste excess water to clean sheets and blankets daily.

Fantastic colonial hotel in a perfect location in the center of the old city of Guanajuato .. beautiful breakfast room with towering stone walls with a fabulous and delicious breakfast selection. Hotel employes incredibly caring and helpful and friendly. Within walking distance of many of the must see sites to see in Guanajuato. Room was very very nice.. bathroom a little undersized but definitely clean and functional. One of the best boutique hotels where we have ever stayed !
