Fascinating building in great location

Wonderful, labyrinthine building in the Historic Center, steps from the Museo Casa Diego Rivera. The breakfast was exceptional and the service was attentive and professional. Our only complaint was that the room was not air conditioned and the open window brought in a lot of traffic noise. Ask for a room away from the street and you'll be fine. [To be fair, we were offered an interior room and chose this one, so it's on us.]

I visited GTO as a solo female and this was my home away from home. Very clean, beautiful property. No AC, but the electric fan worked just fine for me. It's centrally located without being in the middle of the action, which means it's quiet in comparison to similar properties on Expedia. I was so happy I chose it and look forward to returning.

Walking distance from main attractions. In the room we stayed it didn’t have AC but we had a tower fan which helped. Parking is very hard to access in GTO. This hotel provided parking but is not close to the hotel. We walked all the time andntaxis are all over so no need to use a car. We would definitely stay again

We had a wonderful three night stay here. Our room was off of the street and quiet, breakfasts in the restaurant were top notch and food was plentiful although my wife said the coffee was a little weak. Staff were very friendly and courteous. There are a number of stairs, but they led to unique levels and roof top patios that we enjoyed exploring. Location was perfect with close access to all sites while still a little away from the action. Would highly recommend this hotel.
