A great place and location. Some anecdotal hiccups hurt my experience here, but I’d give it a second chance.

The staff was kind enough to allow us early check-in at 1PM. We arrived at 1PM but didn’t get into our room until 1:45PM. Afterward, we don’t have water until nearly 3PM (they said they were changing water pipes). If we knew this, we would’ve just checked in at the normal 3PM time. Kinda bummed we lost two hours just waiting for a shower, but not necessarily their fault— just bad timing.

I booked this room for the jacuzzi. It worked, but it wasn’t great. The water fluctuated between lukewarm and sort of hot. Only three jets worked.

Nice location. If you stay, you must visit the torta place on the corner and order the Huracán Rameriz.

There's no safe in the room so that's an opportunity the hotel could add for improvement. The only downside I recall is the room was next to a busy street but I had earplugs so those solved that issue and slept really well!

Excellent stay and wonderful service

Location: Valladolid in general is small city and totally walkable. Takes 15 minutrs to get to hotel from main square or it costs roughly 30-35 pesos with taxi from the main square to hotel.

Breakfast: very delicious and filling. Included eggs, pancake/waffle, fruits, bread, jam, coffee.

Service: exceedingly attentive, polite and kind. They went above and beyond in even helping us with other non-hotel items we needed during our stay. Thanks to the boy at front desk, the young girl covering for him at night and the restaurant staff for making our stay feel special.

Room: clean, private bathroom, includes TV, coffee/tea provided in the room, bed was very comfortable.

Overall: highly recommend and would most definitely come back!

The rooms are much smaller than what they appear to be online. We asked for Larger room and they didn’t have one available which was ok. I was only laying in the bed for just a min and in that min, 5 ants crawled on me. Upon further inspecting of the room, we noticed a swarm of dead bugs all over the floor near the closet, and a few trail of ants in different areas of the room. We alerted the front desk and he apologized and tried to take action. He called the owners and the owners declined our request for a refund. He offered us a smaller room or two separate rooms which wasn’t going to work with our 6 and 10 year old child. We ended up leaving and staying elsewhere. We didn’t feel good about staying in any of the other rooms, Very disappointed and I would not recommend this hotel based on our first impression, our room and the way the owner handled this situation. They will probably have some crap excuse like that did with the other bad reviews. Don’t waste your time or money here. I hope the money you didn’t return to us was worth this bad review and others not visiting in the future

The best thing about this hotel, is the staff. Manager Jasson Loeza and his staff are incredibly helpful and pleasant. Jasson gave good advice on local travel. I am a vegan, and food choices were limited, but the staff were happy to make breakfast and dinner that was not exactly on the menu. It is a safe place to stay, some walking required to get to the main city area. There is a pool but no one really uses it. The only negative was , mosquitoes can get into the bedroom when the doors are left open for cleaning. I had to use a good amount of insect repellent to help. If you are planning to spend most of the day outdoors then this hotel does the job. The breakfast buffet is a bonus! Was a good stay.

Pagué cuarto más caro, con jacuzzi y NO funcionó.

Nos quedamos en la habitación 15 con jacuzzi y solo pudimos echarlo a andar una noche con ayuda del señor de mantenimiento (y sin agua caliente, solo fría ). Las otras dos noches nos dio pereza bajar y pedir al señor de mantenimiento que subiera de nuevo ya que el botón de encendido no funcionaba por si solo y no hay teléfono en las habitaciones (es necesario bajar para solicitar lo que sea que ocupes). El wifi de la habitación jamás funcionó, menos mal que nos llegaba la señal de la recepción. Al hacer el checkout a las 7am el último día de nuestra estadía TODO ESTABA CERRADO, incluida la recepción, y como tomábamos avión en Cancún tuvimos que dejar las llaves en cocina con un señor que no supimos ni quién era =( menos mal que saque lo de la caja fuerte un día antes ya que solo hay caja fuerte en recepción.

The hotel is ok for the price. The staff was extremely friendly, it was clean, and the beds were pretty comfortable. However, it is a little too far away to walk places. You’d need some kind of vehicle. There was no warm water, and the WiFi strength was terrible. The food at the restaurant is pretty good with decent prices, but just be aware the kitchen closes at 3, so they don’t serve dinner.

Close to Chichen Itza

Staying here got us to Chichen Itza in about 30 minutes. Also it was minutes away from different cenotes and the Ek Balam site.

The hotel is on the outskirts of town, but the adjoining restaurant had decent dinner and breakfast options.

The hotel was really quiet, somewhat smallish rooms, firm beds, decent ac, and off-street parking. One downside was its plunge pool which needed some servicing or better filtering.

Would easily recommend this hotel if you're looking to beating the Coast and tour ship crowds to nearby sites.

Great for drivers with earplugs

The rooms and pool area are pretty and the staff are SUPER nice.

However, I wouldn't stay here again for a couple of reasons. Though the hotel is on a main road into the city, it's a long, hot, dusty walk to get to anywhere of interest. Almost every hotel and restaurant is close to the main square or on the other side of it. OK if you are driving, and of course there are plenty of taxis, but with so many more convenient places, I would pick one of them another time.

The distance from town was particularly annoying as I found the hotel food ranged from just OK to pretty bad.

You should also be aware that from any of the rooms, you will hear loud music from the restaurant all evening (til after 10.30) and sometimes from when breakfast starts too. I got little sleep and ended up with a migraine, missing a whole day of excursions, after an evening of pounding EDM.

Welcoming accommodations

This hotel of about a dozen rooms worked well for our one night stay. There was a pool in a nice setting outside our room. And we enjoyed two good meals in the welcoming restaurant on the premises. We had a heavy rain the night we stayed and there was a significant leak in our room which caused considerable water to run down one wall. The water was promptly dried up by the management and did not ruin our stay but the leak does prevent us from giving the place a 5-star rating. Nonetheless we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again when we are in the area.

Pros and Cons

Everyone in the hotel staff was very nice, but the room we got needed maintenance and was not in condition to be rented out.

Our first night there, the AC unit mounted to the wall above the bed frame was leaking. Because we checked-in on a Sunday night, it couldn’t be fixed right away and we ended up having to move the bed completely to the opposite wall in order to sleep without the water splashing on our faces.

The second night, it rained and the ceiling started leaking a significant amount of water. We notified the staff and they quickly removed a puddle of water that had formed on the roof so the leaking stopped.

This is, overall, a motel-level hotel in need of maintenance. The staff does get kudos for being attentive but if you’re looking to rest here, you may not be able to. Compared to what we are usually charged for a motel in the States, this was very affordable but when comparing it to the prices of other good hotels in México, this is very overpriced.

We had breakfast there almost every day because their food is good and cheap, so that may be worth mentioning for those traveling on a budget.

Nice affordable hotel not far from the center

We had a good experience in El Zaguan. The staff was very helpful and they did their best to understand our rudimentary Spanish. The hotel is located close to San Bernardino and not far from the town center (15-20min walk). We felt safe in this area.
Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. We would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an affordable yet pleasant place to stay in Valladolid. Also, their restaurant is pretty good. Everything we tried was delicious.

Avoid this place

Terrible place. Not so far from downtown but you have to cross a neighbourhood that is not very safe to walk downtown. So you have to take your car. This is also very noisy day and night it is really hard to sleep.
When we arrive the bathroom was dirty with unknown yellow liquid on the toilet. We asked to get it cleaned, someone came to clean with no product just a rag. Fortunately we had baby wipes that we used to clean by ourselves.
On the last day we had no hot water to take a shower. They also didn't refill the shower gel, water bottle and tissue box that day. We must have been too extensive customers!!!
And finally the WiFi was disconnected every 5 minutes.
Nobody speaks English which makes it even more difficult to solve assisting issues.
If you can avoid this placer and try to find something closer to downtown.

Historic charm combined with friendly service

We totally enjoyed our overnight stay in Valladolid. The hotel ambience was lovely, and we especially appreciated the beauty of the colonial-style balconies off of the rooms overlooking the pool, with their exquisite hardwood French doors, and wrought iron railings. The room was clean, spacious, and filled with the expected accommodations as well as a few unexpected, such as the mini fridge, and beautifully wrapped hand soaps. The shower stall was a large and modernly stylish floor to ceiling tile design. A short walk down the street and across the road, we enjoyed a dinner of tacos and quesadillas that were homemade delicious and less than 10 pesos each. Short drive from Valladolid’s central plaza.

Worst hotel ever, I made the reservation the night before getting my plan was to go visit the pyramids in UXMAL spend the night in Valladolin and the next morning go to Chichen itza, I got there I was told my room was already given to some one else because no one check reservations online so I was given a different room, both Beds were completely covered with bed bugs we walk out within minutes i couldn't expose my kids and baby to the poor cleanliness I told the receptionist to come and look with his own eyes and he refused to do so all he said that never happened before and he was going to talk to his supervisor to call me and refund my money it never hapened, to make story short $55.00 to the trashe and lost my opportunity to go and visit chichen i tza.

Lovely decorated hotel, with great food available.

We arrived during a heavy storm and were very comfortable in our room. The beds were comfortable and the restaurant serves great food! Easy to reach Chichen Itza early the next morning.

Nice quiet boutique hotel

We loved this hotel. Nice outdoor area to sit a relax, cute pool, everywhere was really clean.
The hotel itself is small with only a few rooms but that's why we liked it, it was perfect. The walk in to the main square took us around 15 minutes.

Fantastic Place

This place is pretty amazing. Small and cozy, but with all the amenities one needs. It's easy to find with a decent private parking lot. The building features a colonial architectural style which makes it very attractive. It's fairly close to several major attractions like cenotes (sink holes), Calzada de los Frailes (Royal Highway), San Bernardino de Siena Convent, and the city downtown, which is gorgeous.
Service is fantastic and staff really make everything possible so one can enjoy the place. It features a small swimming pool which is nice after a long, hot day. Great choice if you are in the area. Enjoy!

Close to ferry and everything!

Nice character hotel near everything especially the ferry. No need to take a golf cart taxi to this one!

One night stay and it was fabulous

Smaller rooms but great ambience. Staff were friendly it's in a gray part of town on the outer rim so your not in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Would definitely go back.

Cute hotel and friendly staff!

Hotel was cute and staff was great! I suggest taking ear plugs as doors are not very sound proof. Perfect for a quick stay!

A Nice Stopover Hotel

Hotel was clean, staff was pleasant. Pool was cold and could have been cleaner.
Restaurant was fair, waiter didn't know what to do.
This was a good stopover for one night on the way to other destinations.

La tina es de buen tamaño, aunque está al aire libre y en época de lluvia es difícil usarla.

Muy amplio el cuarto y cómodo. Quizás lo único a mejorar es que le cuesta salir el agua caliente. Pero disfrutamos mucho el jacuzzi

Muy reducido el espacio de estacionamiento , los colchones son muy incómodos , el internet nunca funcionó, la regadera se inunda , la limpieza de las áreas comunes deja mucho que desear, la recepcionista Rosa muy atenta quizás lo único rescatable .

El hotel muy bonito, pero ojalá le pusieran la misma atención a la calidad de colchones....pésimo la verdad. Buscábamos descansar pero pasamos muy mala noche, demasiado viejo y nada cómodo...
