Disgusting! Please stay away!!! Please acknowledge all negative reviews. The bathroom had mold, cockroaches everywhere, filthy bed sheets, filthy mattress, furniture was disgusting, outlets didn’t work, no towels, no toilet paper, floors were filthy. Just gross!! Don’t waste your money! Maybe stop by and take a photo outside, but dont think about staying here!

Los toilets no servían. El personal muy desatento, el lugar para las personas que les gusta tomarse fotos es bonito debido a la estructura pero si alguien piensa hospedarse ahí busquen otro lugar este no lo recomiendo

Obviously, the experience of staying at a castle is amazing and the premises are beautiful and well-maintained for taking pictures and feeling like you are goth royalty. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was ok in terms of upkeeping as the beds felt old and the curtains couldn't fully close as they were tied with strings and not a curtain pole. They also told us that the check-out was at noon (12pm) but they kept on knocking on the door every 45 mins or so and they even opened the door once while we were inside the room. They also forgot to give us towels and we had to call the front desk to request them

Esta propiedad es hermosa mi familia y yo estuvimos muy contentos ahí, es un poco de trabajo subir tanto escalón pero creo que es única y cómo tal se tiene que conservar. Las habitaciones están muy amplias,” y limpias ,yo solo le cambiaría las colchas están un poco viejas todo lo demás es único, muchas gracias creo definitivamente volveríamos a hospedarnos ahí.

I loved staying at the place as it is a cool experience. However, we never got more toilet paper and the room wasn’t cleaned properly. The staff was amazing I would recommend this place just for the type of stay it is and friendly staff. But it needs work when it comes to how clean the rooms are and how often they deliver items. We asked for the paper our second day there. They said they were waiting on it’s delivery. So we waited and we never received any. We just ended up buying our own.

This hotel was so disappointing. The room was dirty. Sheets had hair and stains on them. The walls were dirty. Dead bugs on the wall, bathroom was moldy including the shower, the toilet was leaking water all over the floor. We were told they could find us another room but it would cost extra then later they gave us a key to another room to see if we wanted to move. That room was just as filthy. We had to spend our first day of vacation looking for other accommodations which we did at an extra expense of $600.00. We asked for a refund they refused and said we had to go through Expedia which I have. I'm waiting for a response.

I was very excited to stay at this property. I loved how the staff were always very helpful and provided an easy no hassle check in. I wanted to give them a 5 star for that alone. The building is very old and true to its name and history but it would be awesome if a bit more care was provided. There were roaches in the restrooms. The water faucets spilled so much water from the base if anything was left on the counter of the sink it got soaked. the shower drain was very clogged making it harder for the water to go down the drain. Otherwise the stay here was nice, quiet, I felt safe and provides a wealth of history. I wouldn't mind staying here again but hope a bit more work can be provided to this amazing place.

Las habitaciones son muy viejas, no nos dieron cama King porque ya no tenias, nos querian dar un cuarto que olia a humedad y tenia una bomba que hacia ruido en el baño. Nos asignaron una habitaion con 2 camas, el lavamanos tenia fuga y tiraba agua en el piso del baño, la primera noche nos bañamos con agua caliente porque no salia agua fria porque tenian la llave cerrada, tampoco bajaba el baño, lo solucionaron hasta el dia sigueinte despues de 3 llamadas a recepcion. Terrible experiencia!

We initially visited Guanajuato with the intention of going for only the day BUT the city is so amazing and filled with life that we opted to stay the night. We went onto Expedia and found that this hotel was available. We chose it because this was one of our stops on a tour that we took. The tour guide made a reference that this was a 4-star hotel. We arrived to the hotel around midnight and the gentleman at the front desk was very nice. He even gave us an extra towel for our room. The room was clean though more of a 1-star experience. There was a lot of commotion in the hotel at midnight but we were all so tired that we only wanted a place to sleep. We more than likely would not choose to stay in this hotel in the future and we would caution readers to do their homework. The location to the city center is a 20 minute walk with the return walk being tough since it is going uphill.

The exterior of the building makes it impressive, it is really special to have an actual castle as a hotel. What it is very dissapointing is the lack of maintenance/upkeeping in the place: leaking faucets, open electrical boxes, outside areas not being cleaned, worn out towels, mold in the showers, restaurant restrooms that evidently are not being cleaned regularly. I asked for ice in the restaurant and they did not have; asked for glasses, it was as if that was a weird thing. This place could be absolutely amazing, but it is not being taken care of and it is a shame.

Nice building unfortunately the owner only milks the property and dos not care for its condition. The employees do not care if things happen or not happen. The room condition is run down. The futniture is old and run down and It has already seen its good days. I was switched rooms three times, muy son two times and muy daughter and husband two times. Reasons? Roaches in the rooms. Toilet not working. Air conditioning not working. Roaches, lots of roaches. Dirty. The maids do not do a good job about cleanung and seem not to care. Horrible experiences. Never back again. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
