It’s a beautiful old building, the room was nicely updated. Sits right in the city center making it very convenient to walk everywhere. Staff was super friendly and helpful, minus the GM, he was rude and pretentious.

Great family stay in the heart of Gto

The hotel is in a great location, right in the heart of the city. Everything is easily walkable, and it’s great to be able to stop in easily as you’re moving in different directions to grab things, go to the bathroom. The family suite was excellent for us with kids (ages 4 and 7), and was in a good spot with less noise (rooms overlooking the plaza are louder do to how much fun everyone is having outside). Great stay, great service, great location. Would highly recommend

This properties location is absolutely amazing. It is without a doubt in the center of all the fun. You are walking distance to everything. The staff at the hotel is very helpful and super nice. The hotel is of course dated with no AC and has an un working elevator but it is very much woth the stay for the views.

Don't do it! Price is good, stay is NOT!

I wouldn't stay there again! It would have been nice if I was told that the elevator was out of service before I paid, but of course I wasn't until seconds after I ran my card! 86 steps up with 6 suitcases and 4 backpacks! Funny thing is that not only I was tired but my kids and 15 y/o granddaughter! In addition, ABSOLUTELY NO a/c !!!!! What ?!? And pillows were horrible. Hard, hard, and HARD !! Never staying there again!

Hotel San Diego is ideally located in the heart of Guanajuato. It is central to all the local restaurants, museums and shopping. It is not quiet, in the best way possible. The city comes alive in the evening with music and local flavor. There is a charming quiet inner courtyard and several rooftops to sit and enjoy the perfect weather. They have their own Italian Restaurant with good food. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Our room was simple, but comfortable and clean. I booked early in the year and got an excellent rate for our week. I will stay here again next time I come.

You are basically paying for location. Hotel is a bit run down… furniture in room is quite worn. Customer service is great and the location is perfect, if you don’t mind the noise until 1AM or so.
