We stayed 3 nights at El Meson de los Poetas after staying one night at another hotel. We moved because of noise and found that El Meson was very quiet, even though central. The staff -- front desk, breakfast waiters, maids -- were very pleasant and made every effort. The hotel itself is charmingly built into the side of a... More

Spent a long Easter weekend in Guanajuato and was eager to share my reaction to this hotel on Pocitos square in the historic center of the city. Midway between the Jesuit church and the Alhondigas, los Poetas is built right into the hillside. There are no elevators and, if you end up with an "upper" room you will be quite... More

I shared this adventure to lovely Guanajuato with my sweetie who bought this six night donated Boutique Hotel package at a charity auction--we are sister cities with Guanajuato. Although we were booked for a "standard" room, it was spacious, quiet, cute and clean. The entire staff was super, they went to great lengths to ensure our needs were met. The... More

We had high hopes coming into El Meson de Los Poetas. Our first night was spent trying to sleep - as the noise, phone ringing and screaming from the lobby kept us up the entire night. When I spoke with the manager she knocked 1000 pesos off and we moved rooms. Our second room was quieter but the bathroom developed... More

This hotel is a fun labyrinth that meanders up the hillside with a huge tree growing out of the middle and great patios with city views. Wandering around the place is being in an Escher painting. The rooms are clean & comfortable, not elegant but cozy with plenty of hot water. Breakfasts are good. It's in a great location, next... More

The reception spoke great English, were helpful with bags. I might spend a bit more and take a fancier place if I were travelling romantically, but for a quick stay with a friend, this place was excellent value for money. Rooms were big with a small kitchenette, bathroom was on the small side, but again for €70 for 2 people... More

I stayed here with a friend and we had an amazing time. The rooms are big, clean and beautiful. We had a great view of the city from our balcony. We went to Guanajuato to get away from the city in Guadalajara for a weekend and it was the perfect place. The hotel has a great breakfast and is located... More

I wanted to like this place, but it came up short in some areas. The location is perfect, the staff are very helpful & friendly, and the price is good. But, the hotel itself is a bit of a rabbit warren of rooms. There are loads of stairs, which was not a major problem. But the layout of the hotel... More

Just stayed here for 3 nights and my brother and I absolutely loved this hotel. First it is most unusual in the way it is built and both the architecture and color were amazing. Everything about the hotel was charming. Good size rooms with excellent beds and beautiful decor. More

I stayed one night at El Meson and enjoyed my stay. Rooms are well decorated and nice, but lacks a strong finish touch. Sheets, pillows, towels etc are quite basic. Lacks confort. The house in general and the central courtyard is precious, very nice to have breakfast there. More
