I had to ask the cleaning staff to service the room the floor was dirty, I lost my first night due to a flight cancellation and upon my arrival to the second night it was humid and floors dirty.

Mayra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Dated, needs new lobby furniture

I was supposed to stay here on Monday 4-13-25, but it was so chaotic. Also very dated and dirty furniture in lobby, I really didn't want to go and see the room. Seemed dangerous with so many people coming and going with no visible security
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Internet did not work. Checking in was bit chaotic. The lobby is nice. Not a bad stay for the price overall
Erik, 1-night trip

great location. would pick a larger room next time that is NOT on the street. Pretty noisy.
Lola, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

For the age (established in 1610) this is a fantastic stay and right next to the main plaza in downtown Guadalajara!
Geneva, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is very old but that’s part of its charm. Not sure I liked the fact that we didn’t have a window in our room. A window could be needed for emergencies and to let in fresh air. Room was stuffy

10/10 Exceptional

I really enjoyed it even thought it’s an old hotel but yet it’s charmed is worth it.
Lourdes, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The water and electricity cut off on the middle of the night around 9pm and didn’t turn on until 2am luckily we needed to go to sleep to catch a flight. The staff is very accommodating The only elevator doesn’t work and the 3rd floor is very loud with AC noises and cathedral bells every hour. This is the oldest hotel in Guadalajara and it shows.
