Carmen is an excellent and attentive host, and a sweet person, as well as an excellent cook. Bathroom was sparkling clean. The balcony of my room offered an excellent view of one of the most beautiful architectural structures of the city. The nights are quiet, making for a sound sleep, unlike the center of the city. Most of all, I always felt right at home.

Fantastic trip to Guanajuato!

All the great reviews about Carmelita's are spot-on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Carmelita is a wonderful host and equally great cook! The location of her establishment will allow you to walk past numerous restaurants and businesses, on your way to the center of town. Also you are within walking distance of Presa de la Olla. We will definitely be returning! Thank you, Carmelita!

Carmelta is the greatest host I've ever encountered! She's on top of things, helpful, accommodating (out of her own will, she prepared a special healthy breakfast for my wife every day while we were there!). She and her staff really do an amazing job of going the extra mile.

Ask for price before you say yes

Before you say yes for any kindness or upgrade ask for price or you will get a bad surprise. Do not believe her if she says "just a tip". Other than that everything else was great

small hotel close to taxi or bus to get to sights

Carmen prepares excellent and varied breakfasts. Many stairs but all of Guanajato is hilly. She is always trying to please the guests, speaks English and is very helpful with tours or ideas of things to do. Carmen is certianly a great hostess!

This is my hotel whenever I return to Guanajuato

Carmen is an absolutely great hostess. Her breakfasts were very good and her conversation even better. I had a wonderful time staying there and will absolutely stay there again. The hotel was a short walk (about 10 minutes) from downtown Guanajuato. That was perfectly fine because the walk was beautiful and it's very loud in downtown Guanajuato. There are lots of bars that are way, way too loud. I can only imagine how late they stay open. I would not want a hotel anywhere near there.

Un lugar muy acogedor y tranquilo. Excelente para descansar después de una buena caminata por Guanajuato. El cuarto estaba muy limpio, con televisor, baño y una terracita con una vista muy amena.

El hostel es agradable, simple pero hogareño. La limpieza es buena al igual que la comodidad, la dueña Carmelita es una señora super atenta y amable al igual que sus nietos. Lo único que no me encanto fue el desayuno, para mi simple y careciente de la buena comida mexicana que uno espera en una ciudad como Guanajuato (chilaquiles, enchiladas, etc) dicho esto no entendí porque a nosotros solo nos dio un desayun simple y a los huespedes siguientes si les dio "almuerzo". En general lo recomiendo, pero si son de buen comer no esperen llenarse con el desayuno.
