My room was very cold. Mini split did not work, they brought an electric heater, we had to move ir around, shower very cold, breakfast very simple, lots and lots of stairs, elevator only works from certain floor up, you still have stairs, you leave a tag at door not to be bothered, they still do your room…….they don’t have wake up call or they forgot……

The staff was great. Everyone was kind, one employee went above and beyond. Ivan really help usually through our visit. He jumped in our car and helped navigate us to parking. He even carried my aunts purse back to the hotel. While we’re at the hotel he greeted us everyday and was always very kind and attentive with all that we needed. Thank you to el meson de las poetas.

The staff in the reception were very welcoming and friendly. The waiters and dining staff as a whole made our experience even better. They were friendly and respectful very attentive. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet there a lot. The food there was actually our favorite in the entire city. The cleaning staff for the rooms were great and the bell boys were also very nice and respectful. I would definitely stay there again and would encourage everyone to do the same.

We enjoyed our stay. It is an order hotel, which is common in this town. We have stayed in many of the hotels in Guanajuato and this is one of the older ones. But its rustic charm did not deter us from having a wonderful time ps—There’s no elevator from the ground floor to the first floor.
