    Tranquil Retreat with Stunning Views, Friendly Staff and Nice Pool

    The place is located just 1 km from the very center of San Miguel. While this is quite close, the location is up on a hill, making the walk to the center quite steep. However, if you use the La Palma stairs instead of Cta. de Loreto, it will be easier and faster. I did this every day, even a couple of times on our last day, despite having a toe injury. The staff is lovely, especially the person who serves breakfast in the restaurant. They provide great customer attention and kindness. I recommend this place if you are okay with walking. The view of the uptown streets will make your decision worthwhile.

    Service is very poor. Need to understand little English to help guests. My rough Spanish was not helpful. Did not get basic amenities in the hotel. No glass, no water in the rooms. no towel in the bathrooms. Service: Worst service of all. First, I have a double book from booking.com due to a website glitch, I asked for Cancelation fees waver. They did not allow it. Which understand by me and luckily the other hotel refunded full amount. While I am in hotel they refuse to give room and mentioned it canceled. Later, they checked and understood that they misread the direction of booking.com which is in Spanish. They harrash us almost 15 minutes without even reading it. Later we got room 18 which have very bad smell from bathroom. They did not understand and even did not came to check it. We took 2 rooms, 18 and 19. Both of the rooms missing basic amenities like bathroom towels. They mention we do not have it in the hotel. 2 lady in reception can not handle a single problem they just repeat what they said in first time. Language: only Spanish speaking receptionist Location: It is near Murador so little far from centro. If you love to walk in the vintage city then this location is well suited for you. Wifi: Average.

    Rooms: Great rooms with view. These are vintage looking rooms, a little cold in the night but manageable. View: Sunset is very beautiful Service: Worst service of all.

Language: only Spanish speaking receptionist Location: It is near Murador so little far from centro. If you love to walk in the vintage city then this location is well suited for you. Wifi: Average. Recommendation: International tourists are not recommended due to the language barrier unless you can use translation for every little conversation. Recommend to hotel: Change your receptionist. SMA is an international tourist area. They should understand little engle. We can put our effort and speak in rough Spanish, whereas the hotel should understand a little bit to assist guests.

    There is need for AC in the rooms as they are very hot on summer and the girl at reception was not friendly and welcoming, she made us go back for the TV remotes after check out when she could have done it as they never told us to bring it back for check out

    Up a huge hill from center of town We took taxis to return to hotel but if you are fit and not older like us you can hike UPHILL after a day and evening out Such water shortage in Mexico why why why does the gardener water the lawn and plants like mad with a full ON water hose?? Mexico City will have NO water by June 2024 but Frayle has green green grass!? EEK! This is not good and we also live in Arizona and know the value of water.

    Views were nice Ambience was terrific Rooms were beautiful Mexican colonial Staff was helpful and excellent Rooms were super clean and fresh towels every day Breakfast was very good and plentiful

    It is far from the city center. If you don’t have a car the walk up to the hotel takes effort. If you are in good shape, it’s doable.

    The hotel had a great view of the city. The room was nice and large and the facilities had a swimming pool. A good value for the money.

    Very steep and narrow streets to go to Centro. For most people, you need to take your car or call a taxi. We had to pay more to change room because of the really narrow stairs going to the mezanine bedroom. Very hard mattress. There were no screens in windows, so mosquitos were in.

    Nice view, nice colonial hotel, beautiful gardens, parking, clean, good Wi-Fi, good shower.

    The rooms really do not provide the view that the place has to offer, which is a shame, if view from your room is what you're looking for, this might not be the place.

    The view from the pool and open areas is amazing. The location is uphill, so better to arrive by car or taxi.

    As I said it’s a bit worn but beautiful

    Love this little hotel. It’s a bit out of the way and well worn but lovely. The pool is small but fantastic - some ingenious design keeps cold water coming in the bottom while the sun eats the top. Staff very friendly and helpful. It’s at the top of a VERY steep hill but views are amazing and taxis are cheap if you don’t want to walk - walking up is a serious work out but we’ll worth the gorgeous views and charming neighborhood. I saw a complaint about breakfast - not my experience. The menu is very limited but I’m a vegetarian and they were very happy to adjust to accommodate me. Ask nicely 😊
