I spend 4 days and 4 nights here during my recent trip…read more The location is superb, it is 2 blocks from Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento, and Parque Revolución. Which is great. There are few convenient stores that sells soda, beer and snacks. It is about 1 mile (1.7 KM) to the Plaza de Cruz area (the four major plazas surrounding the Catedral de Guadalajara). My private room is clean, although no AC, so it can be hot at night (They do have a fan in the room). If you are staying at the room that next to the street, and since I have to leave the window open at night, it is a bit noisy at night because people are talking outside or playing loud music in their car (not the hostel's fault though). Shared bathroom (although it is small, but it is cleaned every day). If you are light sleeper, and don't want to get up and walk across the whole house to use the bathroom at night, you might want to get a room in the middle of the house. The noise and long walk to the bathroom didn't bother me though. Free Wifi and connection is great. They lock the door throughout the day which made me feel safe, just remember to bring your key. The owner provided alot of information on where to go and where to eat. Overall, great hostel for my trip. Thanks!

We booked a private room and stayed here for 3 nights. We arrived early morning but couldnt check…read morein til later but they were kind enough to store our backpacks and let us hang out in the common area. All the staff members we met were all super nice and spoke english well. Our private room was actually in a separate building across the street and was HUGE! We had a king bedroom with our own private bathroom and a balcony! The place was clean and the bed was super comfortable! The restroom was very modern and had plenty of hot water and good water pressure! They offer super basic breakfast (toast, cereal, juice) which we did not partake as it did not satisfy our needs. We also didn't get to do the free walking tour because the guide called in sick but the hostel did help us book our tequila tour, which is a MUST DO when you are here! The ONLY issue I had was that the location is right in the center of the city so there are shops just below us on the first floor and during the day, they would play SUPER loud music so if I wanted to nap or have some quiet time, it was a bit irritating. But this would not keep me staying here again! Met some other travelers and had a great time here!

Rooms are tiny. It feels like a hostel. The sink is right by the bed…read more The shower area has no separation so the water goes every where in the tiny bathroom. Also the outlets in my room don't work. Not even one of them seems to work... The room is pretty clean though it seems. The bed is also quite comfortable even though they're small. You have to pay for breakfast and the selection is okay. There are eggs, and some nachos in some kind of tomato based sauce. Overall I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you found an amazing deal.

They are still remodeling the hotel so there is some construction outside. There is an outdoor pool with lounge chairs but the water was freezing. There is a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet in the lobby but that's not included in your reservation. The location is good because it's walking distance to downtown Guadalajara and there is free parking included for guests. Overall good hotel for a reasonable price.
