Un lugar bonito dentro del centro de patzcuaro, tiene el toque rústico que caracteriza a la ciudad, las camas muy cómodas aunque algo reducido el espacio en la habitación, funciona muy bien para la estancia, aunque si me quedara mas tiempo quizá sería algo pequeño, esta a un minuto de la plaza grande de patzcuaro lo que hace perfecto para conocer todo y llegar fácilmente a descansar

Muy bien el hotel muy bonito muy céntrico un servicio execelente empleados atentos y serviciales!! No les pongo las 5 ⭐ por qué si les hace falta un buen mantenimiento en todas las habitaciones. Espero en mi próxima visita eso este arreglado. Los felicito por qué está muy limpio pero chequen las fallas de las habitaciones.

El hotel se sitúa en lugar céntrico. Por fuera no parecería gran cosa pero entras y el ambiente es muy lindo. Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen. Von außen sieht es nicht nach viel aus, aber wenn man reinkommt, ist die Atmosphäre sehr schön.

Es un hotel agradable, el chico que nos recibió por la noche fue muy amable, la recepcionista de la mañana fue muy grosera y déspota. Las habitaciones estan bien, cuentan con agua caliente, lo ubico malo es que hay un poco de humedad y polvo (y eso causa molestias nasales y estornudos), cuentan con cobijas para que no pases frío, tienen un closet, el baño está en buenas condiciones y cuentan con agua caliente y TV. La habitación en la cual me hospede tenía una cama un poco fea del colchón, eso no fue muy agradable para el descanso. El hotel se encuentra cerca del centro, su ubicación es buena., sin embargo no Cue tan con estacionamiento privado, dejas tu auto frente al hotel sobre la vía pública, nos comentaron que el lugar es seguro. El costo para 4 personas fue de $1300 Preguntamos para temporada de día de muertos y el costo de esta misma habitación se eleva excesivamente ($6,600)

Un hotel pequeño, pero muy cómodo y cálido, el cual se adapta a la arquitectura colonial de Pátzcuaro. Muy decorado por dentro El servicio fue muy bueno durante la estancia. Muy recomendable

Buen lugar, personal amable. Las habitaciones son muy limpias. Los baños a pesar de verse ya algo viejos no por eso son sucios, en general se siente un lugar limpio. El costo es accesible y la ubicación es muy buena. Tal vez lo único es que el colchón ya estaba vencido de un lado, si cambiaran eso no fallaría nada.
