We arrived in Guanajuato and to our dismay, the B&B for which we had made a reservation was quite different (not in a good way) from what we read on Trip Advisor. Using The Lonely Planet, we set out to look for their favourite pick for Guanajuato, Villa Maria Cristina. In spite of our last minute request, we were offered... More

I don't understand why you would stay here when there are better locations, views. Only if you want to pay highest price. It's a pretty, formal property. The spa was very unimpressive and even with an appointment, it was being cleaned and machinery out on the floor. More

Had the most delicious, beautifully prepared lunch at this "jewel" of a hotel. As good as any 5 Star establishment in NYC or Paris. Beautifully appointed with nothing left to chance. I recommend the grilled shrimp with risotto to start. More

I spent two nights in Villa Maria Cristina in January 2011. Wonderful! It is still in walking distance to the city center of Guanajuato and simply a jewel. Don't miss having breakfast on the sunroof with a sunbath session afterwards. And the sauna/swimming pool in the evening. This is onenof the hotels where you might forget that you actually wanted...

We stayed at the Villa Maria Cristina for three nights following a five night stay in San Miguel de Allende. This hotel is an upscale sanctuary with a definitely european feel. Like others have mentioned it is a somewhat significant walk from the sights, and one that you probably want to do only once a day. Check-in and check-out was... More

My husband and I stayed her in April 2010 at the end of a trip to Queretaro and San MIguel. The property is fabulous and the restoration of this former mansion is perfectly done. The room was large with fine moulding, furnishings, linens and flooring. Everything was in excellent condition. We enjoyed the quiet location but easily walked into town.... More

We really couldn't have asked for more. First, our tarvel agent had made a major mistake with our booking, and the entire staff at the hotel went out of it s way to calm us, reassure us, and then handle all the details of correcting the error. We found our suites extremely comfortable and sleeping was enhanced by the super... More

We are gay couple from Brooklyn. We travelled around various colonial cities on our trip. We drive from Mexico City with this hotel in mind - no reservation. They recommend we not take the cheapest room (Patio Suite) as the bed would be too small (and from other reviews it seems like that was the right decision). We booked the... More

We chose this hotel because it was one of the only hotels in Guanajuato that had a gym. Although check in time was at 3pm, we arrived early thinking they could store our luggage while we went out exploring. We were surprised to find out that they had upgraded our room because our original room was not ready. The room... More

Pros: -Rooms and common spaces are stylishly decorated, comfortable and immaculately clean. Well laid out, with outlets in the right places, lots of light switches and dimmers, air conditioner that worked well and quietly, iPod docking station, and room safe. Bed was big, soft and comfortable, with nice linens and pillows. It was very much like the Four Seasons, but... More
