Since 2013

Fifteen rooms in the heart of Guanajuato

We opened on September 7, 2013 on Callejón del Estudiante, the pedestrian street that links Plaza de la Paz with the steps of the Universidad de Guanajuato. A colonial-style building with galleries, plants and beamed ceilings.

We are a small hotel of fifteen rooms and suites, part of Grupo Hotelero Leyendas. Step out the door and you are in the center: the Basílica about 50 meters away, the University about 100.

Things to do in Guanajuato

The terrace

Guanajuato from our rooftop

Head up to the terrace: the Basílica tower on one side, the hills of colorful houses in front. A good place to start the day or to watch the evening come in.

FAQ

Before you book

Do all rooms look at the Basílica?

No. The two Plaza de la Paz View suites have a balcony facing the plaza and the Basílica. The University View rooms look toward the University, the Panoramic View room over the city, the Callejón del Estudiante rooms onto the pedestrian street, and the Interior rooms toward the inside of the hotel. If the view is what you want, choose one of the suites.

Is breakfast included?

Yes. Our rate includes a buffet breakfast.

Are the rooms quiet?

We are in the heart of the historic center, on a pedestrian street, and the callejoneadas (strolling street serenades) pass by in the evening. Rooms with a view face the street; if you are a light sleeper, choose an Interior room.

Does the hotel have parking?

The hotel is in the Historic Center, on a pedestrian street, so it has no parking of its own. There are public parking lots nearby; message us and we will tell you which one suits your arrival time.

Do the rooms have air conditioning?

Yes. Every room has A/C and a fan, plus heating, a safe, a 32-inch screen and a hair dryer.

Can I stay with family or friends?

Yes. Our double rooms have 2 double beds and sleep up to 4. We do not have cribs or extra beds.

Is there an elevator?

Yes, the hotel has an elevator.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 3:00 p.m. and check-out is at 12:00 p.m. If you arrive early or leave late, you can store your luggage at the front desk.

Are pets allowed?

No, pets are not allowed.

What should I pack for Guanajuato?

Comfortable shoes for the cobblestone streets and stepped alleys. Guanajuato is mild most of the year, but nights can be cool in autumn and winter. In spring and summer, a hat helps with the sun.
