There was only a small shampoo bottle in the restroom. I came with light baggage so I didn't bring many toiletries. I would have liked to have both shampoo and conditioner and maybe some lotion in my bathroom. The bed was a little hard for my liking but I was able to sleep.

I really enjoyed having breakfast here. It was at a decent time ( 9am-10am), so not to early. Irene, the owner was very sweet and had stories to tell. She took my into the city and showed me around while she was out running errands. Zaq, is the artist who has painted the murals throughout the hostel. I got a chance to meet her and she also was so sweet as to take me into the city center to show me around. The Hostel is located in the middle of the alley, you will be climbing and descending steep stairs, this brings me to tell you that all the exercise is totally worth the views! The wifi here was great and the room and restroom where clean.

If we're getting picky, a softer bed would be nice.

Lovely all around. Definitely coming back. Gracias por todo!

1. toilet & bath in the single room is quite small. 2. it's 15 min away from the city center by walk.

1. breakfast: the casa provides nice traditional Mexican breakfast. And all the guests have the breakfast together at the round table, so it's easy to meet other travelers. the breakfast was so lovely. 2. location: you can enjoy the view of Guanajuato from the terrace of this casa 'cause this casa is in the middle of hill. 3. room facilities: the room is quite simple and local casa style, but facilities are enough. (table, chair, lamp, locker, more blankets, etc.)

Nothing !

I can not say anything bad about this place. The hostal is so beautiful and colourful there is a part of me that never wanted to leave. The view from the terrace is incredible. The rooms are clean and beautifully laid out. But the best part was the breakfast. Home cooked and prepared everyday. All allergies and food restrictions are respected. I am vegan and thought it would be hard to get a proper breakfast here. But the owner cooked me the most amazing meals. I am still thinking about them!

Everything was ok. Even the stairs were no problem for me. Only 100 meters and anyone with a minimum of regular physical activity will have no problem with this and will still be able to enjoy a beautiful view of Guanajuato...

Service, room, kindness from the owner, different breakfast, very pleasant atmosphere. Irene, the host, is very sweet and a super intelligent person

Beautiful property. The breakfasts were outstanding - every day different and so good and filling and healthy. The doña de la casa and her staff are wonderful people and helpful with each and every matter. She’s also super knowledgeable about all of Mexico and fun to practice Spanish with.

Overall I absolutely loved this place, but a few things that are helpful to know: * It's about a 15-20 min walk from the center of town. I liked being in a calmer part of town (still nearby some cute cafes and restaurants!), but it's not in the town center with the main city tourist attractions, if that's what you're looking for. * The hostel is in the middle of a callejon (alley) with many stairs - I think around 200 stairs to get up to the hostel! It was well worth it for me to get the amazing views, but be prepared to walk up a lot of stairs. If you take uber/taxi, it's best to take it to the top of Callejon Zaragoza so you can walk down the stairs instead of up with your luggage to the hostel. * After dark, I tried to walk home with friends when I could, but also walked alone a handful of times with being vigilant and was fine. I felt 100% safe in the day walking alone. * The shower took a long time to get hot, and then quickly got too hot, but it wasn't a huge deal. * There were a lot of dogs barking at night from the neighbors, so if you're sensitive to noise, bring ear plugs.

This hostel is a gem! It was like a castle in the sky with such a beautiful view of the surrounding city and mountains. I'm surprised it isn't completely booked out months in advance! I stayed here as a solo 30ish year old female traveler and felt completely safe. I stayed in a private room with a private external bathroom. The owner of the hostel Irene cooks incredible Mexican breakfasts every morning and is so sweet and caring- she made me feel right at home. The receptionists Rogelio and D were very kind too. Everyone who is staying at the hostel eats breakfast around the table together in the mornings which I really enjoyed. When I was staying there, there were just a couple other people staying in the hostel and it was really quiet. At first I was a little nervous about this as I wanted to meet people through the hostel, but it ended up working out perfectly as a quiet retreat to come home to after spending the day out and about (and was able to meet people fine at the english-spanish intercambios in town and through the school where I was taking spanish classes- escuela falcon). I actually ended up appreciating having a calm place to come back to after spending the day in the bustling centro of the town. Initially I was planning on staying for only 1 week in the hostel, and planning to stay in an airbnb for the second week when I was working remotely, but I ended up deciding to book the hostel for a second week - the internet was great and it was a lovely quiet place to work from (especially from the amazing rooftop terraza (terrace))! It was also very convenient to have filtered water dispensers always available -so bring your reusable water bottle :) highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!!!

Amazing breakfast. Irene the Hostal owner is kind and knowledgeable. Safe place. Great views from the Hostal terrace. Comfortable, very close to the best local hikes and 15 min walk al Centro. Stayed there two weeks while attending La Hacienda Escuela de Español.

Loved this place.

A delightful place to stay run by an elderly lady and her son. Everything is creative here, not just the decor, but also the breakfasts she prepares herself. (included with your room). Rooftop with view of the city. I did not incur any of the problems mentioned in other reviews of lower priced hotels such as bad wifi or no hot water. With a single room, it's more like a boutique hotel than a hostal. The walk up the alley stairway will test if you have a pulse, but worth it.

Yes, there are a lot of stairs, but if you go into it with that expectation it's not bad.

Warm and helpful staff, felt like staying at grandma's house. The breakfast was delicious, shower hot, and bed comfy

Felt like a home-stay - Irene is wonderful and passionate about Mexico and it’s history.

No.

The owner of the hostal is very warm, kind, curious lady who also made delicious breakfast for us. Even though i don't speak Spanish, we managed to discuss about history, politics, life with the help of another traveler. The decoration of the hostel is very cozy with its artistic style. There are two terraces with stunning view of the city! I felt so welcomed, like being at home. Please don't miss this place! Another tip for you: as it is in the middle of a hill, i recommend you to take taxi and arrive at the side of "Panoramica" so you don't need to climb the stairs but walk down the stairs.

Amazing place! One of the best hostels I have been to! The views were absolutely incredible from the room and patio, the bed was super cozy with lots of blankets, nice hot showers too. The best part was how incredibly friendly the staff was and the breakfast that was included. One of the best meals I have had!! Thank you very much for a great stay!
