Quinta Real Guadalajara

Financial District Guadalajara|2.8km from Expiatory Temple
Lovely old hotel. The rooms have old world charm and decor. Nice linens and comfortable beds. Well appointed bathrooms with everything you could imagine you'll need, including Ferragamo toiletries, razors, robes and slippers, etc. I was most impressed with the hotel staff. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. I received special care from Jaimie the concierge and Nancy at the front desk. The location is far away from the attractions and there is not much in walking distance, so prepare to taxi it. Taxis are very reasonable so it's not an issue. The hotel restaurant food was good with a decedent selection of items. Be aware that English is not widely spoken by everyone, so you might have to wait for someone to assist if you have questions. On a side note, I found that English is not as widespread in Guadalajara as in most places I've been in Mexico. It's probably because it's not exactly a popular tourist destination so there's little need to have it. On the plus side this means Guadalajara has held onto the culture very well. No pandering to foreigners. Back to the restaurant, my one complaint was a waiter there on 2 nights was sick. I was very uncomfortable having him serve me. I regret not mentioning it to management. He should not have been permitted to work until he was well. I asked him to keep his distance from me and I didn't use the pen he gave me to sign the check. He seem to take it well but it never should have happened. i did find that a lot of people are wearing masks in general there. Not the hotel staff but local people. It was good to see. The hotel grounds are lovely, the pool was in the shade most of the time and I think the lounge chair area needs more attention. The cushions had bird poop all over them and were very dirty. There are a lot of pigeons on the property too. I think it's tough to keep birds away but I did witness them eating from the breakfast buffet table. Maybe a special person should be present to shoo them away? I didn't see the gym but I'm told they do have one . All in all it was a good stay there.

Hotel Santiago de Compostela - Guadalajara Centro Historico
4.4/5107 Reviews

Hotel Santiago de Compostela - Guadalajara Centro Historico

Zona Centro Guadalajara|1.14km from Expiatory Temple
This pretentious hotel is all show, no go. Only in an alternate reality can this be a 4-star hotel! Yes, the facade is impressive, and the lobby with the working elevator are nice. But once you get to your double room, you realize it's a dark, and musty, cave-like space with no fresh air because the only window faces an inner courtyard that is covered. There is mold on the stucco ceiling (see the dark spots in the attached photo, sorry for the resolution). The bathroom is so cramped you cannot use the toilet with the way the garbage bin was placed by the careless cleaning staff (see attached photos). Speaking of the cleaning staff, I found a long, dark hair on the bed sheets (photo attached), definitely the wrong length and color to be mine. The worst issue I encountered beside the fact I felt like I was suffocating from the lack of fresh air, was that the shower wouldn't drain properly, and you'd end up standing in filthy water. There was very little toilet paper provided (less than half roll) and by the time I was out, it was too late and inconvenient to go down at reception and ask for more. While I was there, there were hardly any other guests in the hotel, so it was relatively quiet, but every small noise is amplified by the architectural design of having an inner courtyard covered (in Morocco, the same architecture has the inner courtyard uncovered, so the air and noise are not trapped). You could also hear the church bells, and traffic noises. The A/C works, but it's limited by central WiFi controls, and I froze during the January night I was there, with no blanket other than a polyesther bed spread. After only one night, I couldn't wait to get out of there! There is a central hostel that literally offers better amenities than this so-called 4-stars hotel (you can look for my reviews to find out which one). The best thing this hotel offers is luggage storage: it's safe, and they give you a ticket, so it's more secure. The staff was nice enough, especially Gloria at the reception desk, who is kind and helpful. IMPORTANT NOTE: The rating of this hotel here is skewed by the numerous 5-star reviews for the famous Cathedral ”Santiago de Compostela” in Spain, placed in the WRONG listing!
Hotel Velvet Plaza

Hotel Velvet Plaza

Guadalajara|2.4km from Expiatory Temple
I have been coming here at least three times a year for the past four years. And I have basically given up any hope of this hotel improving. In fact it seems to be getting worse and worse each year I will explain: First is with disability support. They have an underground garage with a very slight ramp up to elevators to take you to your room, yet the only handicap spots available are outside where you have to go up along fairly steep ramp to get into the hotel being open to the elements whether it is strong winds or pouring rains. While able bodied people are able to park underground in the garage with no issue. There are two parking spots beside the entrance I have repeatedly asked the hotel manager to kindly label those for accessible guests because it allows doors to open wide and wheelchairs to come out or for those with mobility issues but most of all people do not have to walk a long way to get into the hotel that have special needs. I’ve spoken to the manager directly three times, sitting down with him in the hotel lobby and he played he smiled and says will look into it and has done absolutely nothing. I am ashamed and disgusted in his behavior and lack of caring towards his customers, especially a repeat customer over many years that his staff have gotten to know quite well. The parking spots are quite small and you can tell downstairs to look at any pick up truck or SUV that is basically touching both lines and they have no way to open a door without banging the other car and everyone is trying to park on one side of the line to allow others some space… While the two spaces at the entrance enjoy the luxury of all the space they want and it is always taken up by able-bodied people forcing those with disabilities to find other alternatives. After 9 PM you basically cannot get any space in the underground covered garage and have to park outside if you can find a space . In this day and age when everyone is doing all they can to make their properties more inclusive and welcoming to everybody of all genders orientations and abilities… The velvet hotel is still sitting back in the 1990s and is not doing anything to improve its image or reputation as a supporter of people with different needs. They are very happy to take your money but do absolutely nothing to accommodate you. Speaking of the staff… But I first started coming a hotel offered services in three languages. When I arrived several nights ago not one person in the evening could speak English. I fully support that everybody coming to Mexico should be learning a little bit of Spanish… And I can have a basic conversation however I still need help with words and trying to get through any ideas when I was checking was very frustrating to the point of simply just walking away because I wasn’t getting anywhere. It seems like every time I come here every few months they are many new staff here and more staff have gone. One of the few remaining long time staff members, Miriam is still

Casa Vilasanta

Casa Vilasanta

Zona Centro Guadalajara|0.2km from Expiatory Temple
This is a cheap & cheerful place. That’s been covered by others. It’s also dingy downstairs in the rooms, dusty, and poorly maintained. In true Mexican style, when something doesn’t work, they just leave it. Example, I first had an upstairs room. No light over the sink. Windows leaked a lot of air. No curtains so morning sun or late night corridor light is disturbing. One electrical outlet for the entire room, once the TV & modem were plugged in. Lots of sound travels room to room, so next door had a bad cough. I could hear it like it was, well next door. Then I had to move downstairs next day because of an error in their booking system with Booking.com. That room had 1 ceiling light. No reading light. The fan that turned on with the light banged every revolution of the blades. Had to ask staff to turn off the fan. The central courtyard is a sound funnel, so the staff talking at 6:30 am echoes throughout the place. The washer upstairs vibrates the whole floor. It’s not a quiet place. Breakfast was awful. Bad coffee, no juice, corn Flakes or Fruit Loops, sandwich bread to toast, butter, jam and cut fruit. Kitchen is a mess. Hard to know what to do as there were no staff around to ask. One front desk person, William was super nice & always responded when asked for information. Other staff seemed to be on a work slowdown. More interested in being on their phones. Place could use some TLC. What it gets now is bandaids. At least there’s potable water available.

Olga Querida B&B Hostal
4.4/533 Reviews
Zona Centro
The Hotel Olga Cariada is in a very nice house, from the beginning of the 20th century, which maintains its original architectural style and has a charming patio: it was the first good impression that led me to decide to rent a private room for a month. I was very soon in the reality, but the place was clean in the boxes, with a dirty old age. There were some tinting clothing hooks, all sticked so used; the television served though well to well only one channel could be seen; the soap was too small and the bed was completely swallowed on one side. The patio is beautiful, but as nothing protects it from the sun or rain, I had to spend time in common areas that are frankly horrible. The furniture is old (old, not “retro”). The chairs were broken, with the dirty filling out everywhere and the chairs slew. The worst was the cloth that, for days, kept the same sauce and others in the same The manager is a good salesman, but once he gets the money, he is very little attentive (as shows, the aggressive way he has to respond to negative criticisms). The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable and it is very comfortable and very comfortable.

Hotel Portobelo

Stayed here for one week in September 2020, in a Jacuzzi suite. We found the hotel to be a wonderful place to stay..... Location on a busy street was not a problem for noise. Short walk to Centro Historico, and a quick Uber to everywhere else we went. Room was large, clean and well appointed. Jacuzzi worked well. Cleaning staff were very nice. Due to COVID, the protocols were well explained and the hotel was efficient in handling people coming in and out. Front desk staff were friendly. The Bar/Restaurant was quiet, great service, food was not the greatest but it was not bad.... I give it a 6.5 to 7 All in all... highly recommend this hotel.... price is competitive with other places.

Checking out today, been here 9 days. Nice hotel, my room was very nice. No fridge but when I asked at the front desk they brought one to my room. Wifi works well, about 20 d/l but had no issues streaming or using voip. I think a 50” tv built into the wall, mostly Mexican channels but CNN, Fox News, BBC news and one ESPN in English. Location is good with OXXO on the corner. Across the street from Revolution Park. Mibici bikes a few doors down from hotel. I would stay here again!
