Casa de Colores

The accommodation provides well-equipped kitchens, convenient location near the city center, spacious and elegant rooms, excellent service, and a delicious breakfast option. However, some guests found the rooms to be very clean.

This boutique hotel is gorgeously furnished and curated; everywhere you look you find beautiful handcrafts of Mexico. We had everything we needed, including a fully equipped shared kitchen, for our weeklong stay. The rooftop terrace offers amazing views of the city and was wonderful for enjoying morning meditation AND evening wine and small plates. Our bed was extremely comfortable with comfy linens, and the shower was perfect in both pressure and water temperature. The location is a short (less than 10 minutes) walk to a charming park, Jardín Embajadoras, that is bustling with street food and other vendors. Parking a car is challenging in Guanajuato, and the hotel's callejón/narrow street is no exception, but we got around just fine with taxis and Ubers. I felt very safe there; the building is very well secured and there are lots of neighborhood residents passing by at all hours. I highly recommend Casa de Colores to any independent travelers looking for a inviting and tranquil space to come home to after spending the day exploring this fascinating town and its environs.

Casa de Colores could be a model home showcasing Mexican tile work, paintings, furniture, lighting and decor. It is all beautiful! But there is more. The breakfasts were traditional and delicious. The panoramic view from the open roof deck showed off the colorful hillside homes of Guanajuato. Which leads to the only drawback of the place-walking from the sights of the city requires negotiating many stairs, as it is a ways up a hillside. People with disabilities or health issues may struggle. Also, some taxi drivers didn't know the best way to approach it, which is from the road further up the hill rather than from the road below. As much as we were impressed with all of the above, the best aspect for us was Christopher, the manager. He devoted hours acting as our personal tour guide, orienting us to the sights, including restaurant recommendations and answering any and all our questions. We highly recommend this place for healthy adults looking to stay in a show place.
