“Amazing find in a great, quiet location”

(By the way, I don't agree at all with the previous review about the staff. They were very courteous, helpful, and friendly.) This was amazing choice in a quiet city close to Puebla.

(By the way, I don't agree at all with the previous review about the staff. They were very courteous, helpful, and friendly.) This was amazing choice in a quiet city close to Puebla. It faces the main Plaza. The hotel opened in 2016, so almost everything was new and spotlessly clean. The price was great: a room with a king-size (!) bed and private bath for two persons at $880 MXD; we got it last-minute on hotels.com for $680 MXD. This is cheaper than many private hostal rooms -- and much more luxurious. The arcade in front of the hotel is lined with cafes that have open-air tables and views of the plaza. The plaza is attractive, and it's lined with all kinds of shops and businesses. There's a huge supermarket half a block south of the plaza. Colectivos, Directos, and Estrella Roja buses all operate from different locations half-a-dozen blocks or north of the hotel. There are lots of excellent restaurants -- a lot them with cheap eats -- nearby. The room had Internet that was strong and VERY fast. Overall, everything was excellent. (By the way: to the reviewer who complained about noise from the Reception area, there are double glass doors to block noise from reception. The hallway can be loud and echo-ey, though.) There was lots of hot water (though, unlike most nice hotels, the hot water in the bathroom washbasin was cut off... guys, if you want to shave with hot water, do it in the shower with a view of the mirror). Our room (101) had some strange quirks, though. One was that the room has no heating, cooling, and basically no ventilation at all: only a tiny window in the room and a slightly larger one in the bathroom. Because both windows are on the same side of the room, there's no cross-ventilation. It took hours to remove stale air from the room. When we asked, the staff gave us a portable fan; we propped it up on an ottoman next to the tiny window and had somewhat better luck. Another quirk is that the bathroom uses laminate (wood-grained plastic glued on wood), which isn't recommended for damp places... after less than a year since the hotel opened, the laminate was peeling from the bathroom door frame. This place is an EXCELLENT alternative to Puebla if you like quiet in a lively area.

“Hidden gem”

We found this little hotel last minute but it was perfect for our mini-getaway. It has the perfect location because all you had to step out the front door and the zocalo with restaurants were right there. All we really needed was a place to sleep and shower.

We found this little hotel last minute but it was perfect for our mini-getaway. It has the perfect location because all you had to step out the front door and the zocalo with restaurants were right there. All we really needed was a place to sleep and shower. The room and bathroom were basic but very clean. Staff was friendly. Prices were very reasonable. We definitely would stay here again!
