Free private parking in a garage is available on-site — a genuine advantage in a city where parking is scarce.

Is this stay right for you?
A straightforward 3-star hotel with on-site dining, free garage parking, and attentive staff — practical rather than polished.
Best for
- Families needing space and parking
- Travellers who want dinner without leaving the building
- Groups booking the larger suites
- Guests with a car in a walkable city
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting a luxury or design-led stay
- Those seeking a larger room footprint in standard categories
The terrace
The hotel has a terrace — a useful outdoor space in a city built across hilly terrain. It's the kind of spot suited to morning coffee before heading out into Guanajuato's streets and alleyways.
On-site restaurant and coffee house
The restaurant handles meals in-house, and a separate coffee house is also on the premises. Kids' meals are available at an additional charge, which takes some pressure off families at the end of a long day.
Free garage parking
Private parking in a garage is free of charge, but reservation is required. For Guanajuato — a colonial city with narrow streets — having secure parking included at no cost is a practical reason to choose this hotel over alternatives.
Room range and suite options
Standard rooms run 21 m², while the Junior and Deluxe Suites step up to private suite configurations with a king bed or two full beds respectively. The Family Room fits three full beds in the same 21 m² footprint as the standard categories.
