“This is a family run establishment. The owners make you feel like you’re part of their family with home cook meals for a reasonable price. There isn’t a lot of bells and whistle’s here. But that’s not what we were looking for. We wanted to stay with a small run place that did not feel like a tourist destination. Alejandro picked us up at the train station when we arrived, took us to the zip line park and then to the bus station on the following day. After my research, this is by far the best place to stay unless you’re high maintenance and need a tourist vibe. We met a few people also staying here.” Read more

“Awesome family run business. Very friendly and helpful. They drive you around to local events and sites for very reasonable fees Dinner in the evening was delicious ($120 pesos) breakfast (scrambled eggs with machaca, chorizo or jamon, beans and coffee) is included at no additional charges ample hot water and good heating in winter. Highly recommend.” Read more

“Spacious room, nice breakfast in the morning included in the price”

“The best part of this stay is the family that operates it. They are amazing people and will care for you like are royalty. There are english speakers available if that is helpful and they can also provide excellent tours, also in english if necessary. There is also a small store across the street which is very convenient if you are on foot because you arrived on Chepe. Do arrange to have them pick you up as it is too far to walk from the Divisadero train stop with your luggage. I recommend Copper Canyon to everyone I meet and I always tell them to stay at Cabañas Los Portales in Areponápuchi. Please tell them Brad from Alaska sent you!” Read more

“Wonderful staff! So friendly and so nice to be staying here for two nights. You’re staying in a comfortable cabin, lots of privacy and you’re eating in the main room. There’s a supermarket across the street where you can buy anything you need. It’s a small half hour walk from the train station but the pick up is included! We went to hotel mirador barrancas, red hotel on the canyon for a drink to see the sunset and then got a nice home cooked meal at Los Portales, wonderful combination. ” Read more

“This property exceeded my expectations. The room was fairly basic but extremely spacious and clean, with heat. The grounds are clean and grassy. It is maybe a kilometer or two from the actual canyon rim but offers much better value than the hotels on the rim itself, which are mostly booked by tour groups. I arrived by train and they picked me up at the station. The bus to Creel stops directly across the road. It worked fine for me to get around on foot, but it has parking and I think it would be ideal for travelers with a vehicle. A small supermarket is about 50m down the road. Milky way visible at night.” Read more

“Tour offered by hotel staff were good and not expensive. Included Breakfast was good. They helped us with all our questions .”

“Super friendly and helpful staff Great service Breakfast is included and you can buy dinner. Took the horseback tour it was amazing They offer private and individualized tours 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

“Friendly staff. Alejandro is very knowledgeable of the area”

“The family who manages the place are very kind and helpful. We loved the food they cook at night, for a small price. The location was good too. It s 10 minutes driving to the adventure park ( with longest zipline). It s also nice to ask for a guide to walk in the adventure park. We walked to hotel Mirador. And than from there one hour further. It s beautiful. But guide is necessary. The rooms in the hotel are spacious. And clean. A little cold at night. But we travelled with kids. The blankets are very warm. So we didn t think that there was any problem with the cold. ” Read more
