The location on the active Jardin was terrific. It was close to lots of restaurants and all the sites we wanted to see. Staff was friendly. Rooms were lovely, well-appointed and clean. The included Breakfast is provided by the restaurant next door and was very good with good service. If you need to depart before the 9am restaurant opening the hotel will arrange for coffee and breakfast items from the Starbucks next door. I was in an orthopedic boot. Although not too bad, there are stairs from the lobby to the elevator and steps down then up again to get from the elevator to the room. Also, the staff warned us that because of electric water heaters you may have to wait 10-15 minutes between showers. We were able to work around this, so it wasn’t a problem for us.
This is a fantastic boutique hotel in a gorgeous part of a stunningly beautiful city. My bedroom was beautiful with a separate sitting area and high ceilings. The ceilings were made of beautiful dark wood. Everything is tastefully done. There was a large flatscreen TV in the sitting area and another one in the bedroom. Both have access to prime video, Netflix and any other streaming service. Every staff member I dealt with was extremely friendly. In particular, the hotel manager, Beatriz or Betty, was so warm and friendly. She gave me great advice on restaurants and then followed up to make sure they met my expectations – – which they did. This is simply a great hotel but I do have one caveat. It surprises me that more reviewers have not stated this. Because the hotel sits in a beautiful square, there is loud thumping music that goes on until 3 AM from Friday through Sunday. It literally sounds as if you are in a nightclub. The hotel provides earplugs but they don’t do much to stop the noise. The only way I could get to sleep at night was to put on my iPods at full blast playing white noise. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to sleep. I love this hotel and will come back but I will ask Beatriz to find a room for me that is as quiet as possible because getting to sleep here with the loud music is very difficult.…
This was our first time visiting Guanajuto. We drove 8 hours from Monterrey NL Mexico. If you drive you need to reserve parking with the hotel. They have spaces held at one of the local garages. There is no parking directly at the hotel. We were told to call 10 minutes out from the designated spot and would be greeted so that our bags could be taken to hotel and our car taken to the garage. This process was seamless. There were 2 people wearing 1850 Hotel face mask so we could easily identify the staff. Check in was excellent. The front desk staff do speak english which is great since I am a gringo from the US. The front desk staff Vacelin and Mariana were excellent and talked with us everyday. They went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay and they did not disappoint. We stayed in the Victoria Master Suite which had very high ceiling and a balcony that overlooks Union Garden. Yes Union Gardens can be very noisy at night until around 2 am and you can hear the bands in your room. However that is part of the charm of this historic hotel. I found if you close the shutters and turn the fan up on the air conditioner you really cannot hear the noise. Plus the hotel does provide ear plugs. The room is actually a 2 room suite on the third floor. The bathroom you have to go up a small set of stairs. The bed is extremely comfortable and slept very well during the trip. This is probaby the best hotel in Guanajuto. There is a placard on the outside of the hotel that the building was once the Casino of Guanajuto from 1850. The hotel does not have a restauraunt but they do serve food in roof top bar that is delivered from a local restaraunt. Breakfast was included each day at a local restaurant. Food and coffee was very good. They have a diferent menu for the hotel.guest. The roof top bar had excellent views of the city. Drinks were very good. The were closed on Mondays. The city is very pedestrian friendly. Driving around is not reccomended. The city utilizes a series of tunnels to maneuver around the city. You can get lost in these as GPS will not work. I highly recommend doing the funicular to go to Pipilla. It is the highest point overlooking the city. Gives you the best pictures of all the colors. Go in the morning as it can get very crowded. There are alot of museums. I highly recommend Diego Riveria museum. Also night time is a great time to walkaround the city. The city is very safe however there are some areas to avoid. Ask the front desk and they can help. The mummy museum is overrated. We waited 2 hours in the sun. The museum is about 3 KM away from hotel. Do not walk to. Not the best area and very steep hills. Overall I highly recommend the 1850 Hotel and a visit to this historic treasure.…
This is a great property to spend time in Guanajuato. it is in a good location in the middle of the Historic Center, close to all museums, restaurants, and bars. Once you are in the hotel, and your car is parked, you do not need to drive, everything is within walking distance from everything, very centrally located. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well decorated, and every room has a theme. We spent several days at this property and we had a great time. The room was well-taken care and the beds were comfortable. The staff is extremely super friendly and very much oriented to customer satisfaction, they go beyond the extra mile effort to make sure guests are enjoying their time at this property. They are always willing to help and to suggest places to visit within this historic city. Breakfast was provided at the next door and the food and service of the restaurant was a 5-star location and food, highly recommended. Definitely, this 1850 Hotel Boutique is highly recommended if you want to spend time in Guanajuato, and enjoy your time and relax in a very friendly and safe atmosphere, which is not far from Guadalajara. Definitely, this is a place where I will be back soon and spend more time to know about the culture and history of the city. A lot to say about this hotel but not enough space to provide how nice this place is,…
We had the best hotel experience ever. The staff was amazing. Especially, Jocelin! She was such a great help and gave us fantastic suggestions. We will be returning to the hotel, again. The rooftop bar is awesome, with an incredible view of the historic district. Best time, ever!
A super boutique hotel in the middle of this historic city. Lovely and well appointed rooms. Great staff who were always helpful and full of super recommendations for restaurants and ideas. And a particular gem - they recommended a city tour guide, Salvador Satacruz Urdiales, who was simply exceptional. Well worth a visit.
While there are many historically beautiful hotels in the area, there are none in comparison to the 1850 Hotel Boutique. While there 4 Diamond awards are outstanding accomplishments, what impressed me most was there excellent service and hospitality. This was my first time visiting this beautiful city, and I felt completely safe, and we’ll taken care of. Berenice at the reception made our tour and room arrangements effortlessly. Her willingness to answer any of our questions put us at ease and her recommendations were the absolute best. We also had the pleasure of meeting the general manager Beatriz who was very kind, and provided us with great insight on the city. Daniel also provided us with amazing hospitality, he made sure we had transportation arrangements set, while also adding special touches that made our experience with the hotel very special. The service was impeccable, everything from housekeeping, security staff, to checking in was awesome. We made the mistake of getting a tour with the promoters on the Main Street and the service was crappy. The tour guides just stayed on their phones and dropped us off at the sites, while not mentioning that the additional entrance fees and costs were not included when they said they were. We used the recommendations and contacts provided by the hotel and we felt very safe and had a great time. Their services were prompt, punctual and very exciting. There are many perks that we loved while staying here as well. Any last minute toiletries can be provided by the reception, as well as a variety of pillows that provide that additional level of attention to their guests. The hotel itself is extremely well kept, safe, and very clean. I am not being paid by the hotel, nor am I a promoter. I am simply a tourist who was extremely impressed by this establishment. The best part about this hotel is the location, you are at the center of all the excitement, with everything being walking distance. Not once did we have to use a taxi or Uber. Everything from the Mercado Hidalgo, Finicular Panoramico Guanajuato, Teatro Juarez to the Callejoniadas, are infront of you. The plaza in-front has lively music, where you can enjoy a cup of fresh elotes, or simply people watch. We also enjoyed the rooftop bar/ lounge on the fourth floor, it had an awesome view of the Pipilar and Cathedral (Very IG worthy). I highly recommend this hotel, and would definitely come back. Hope this review helps you on your trip to beautiful Guanajuato! Safe travels, J…
Wow, a lot to tell about this place. The hotel itself is quite nice. The staff (at least behind the desk) all spoke English. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Hats off to the cleaning staff. They kept on top of everything (exception below). Furnishings were nice, bed comfortable and public sitting areas seemed to be around every corner. High ceilings made the room feel larger. We booked one of the two grand suites (the Victoria). There is an elevator although the hotel only has two floors to speak of. When we arrived, their was a small welcome bag of trinkets on the bed. The promised newspapers mentioned on the website were not to be found. Location is a mixed blessing (more below). It is very central and walking distance to many things. Guanajuato is a hilly town, so bring comfortable shoes. Cabs are everywhere outside the pedestrian zone. Uber is here, but sketchy. We wanted to go to San Miguel de Allende (not worth it in our opinion). First driver said he needed to get gas and never returned. Then cancelled the trip. The next one started driving only to tell us that something from his divorce meant he would have to drop us 20 minutes outside of town. That wasn't going to work. Finally took a cab. About $50.00 with tip each way. Beware asking the hotel to arrange this for you. They quoted us about 3 times the price. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Starbucks is next door if you need a fix. Look around. We found both French and Italian in addition to the plethora of Mexican places. What we could not find was a decent local panderia. That was odd. Lots of shops and pharmacies and small "everything" grocery stores (Oxxo). Now some things to note. First, this is directly across from the Jardin de la Union, which is a pedestrian zone. Means you will have to schlep your bags from the designated taxi drop off area. Not far. They did bring our bags to the taxi when we left, so I am sure you can get assistance upon arrival as well. The hotel had an exercise area that looked permanently closed. Their is no concierge as stated and they have been without for the past 18 months, per the staff. There is no on-site restaurant although one two doors down where you take breakfast (if included). The "spa" looks to be an appointments only sort of deal and appears quite small. The bar is open air on the top floor, so no where to have a cocktail if it is raining. There is a Nespreso in the room, but you only get 2 capsules per day even if two people. What they give you is totally random, but you can buy more of them for $1.50 USD each. There are earplugs in the bathroom for good reason. Being across from the square meant mariachi music until 10 or 12 every night. And often it was competing, so it was a cacophony of sound. Shutting the inside wooden doors helped somewhat. Then there is Bar One upstairs. The sound from it pours in through the central skylight. And it is loud dance music. You can expect it until midnight during the week and 2 AM on weekends. And it is VERY popular. One night there was a couple who were obviously locals headed for the bar who looked like they might have sex right in the lobby. This was right in front of the front desk person who simply ignored them. Apparently entitled people are everywhere and tolerated. And we were there during a two day wine festival on the plaza that also had music. This is not a quiet hotel. Toiletries are top notch, but do not expect them to replace the near empty ones without asking. There is a mini-bar in the room, but no place to store any leftovers you may have, nor place to reheat. Our room did have a balcony, but it was for standing only. No place to sit. The hotel did arrange for our per-departure Covid tests. I am sure it was marked up as well as everything, else, but it was convenient, done right at the hotel. Took 15-20 minutes. I think it was $60.00 each, cash only. Look, I am not totally panning this place, but you need to know before you go. We paid about $300/night, and that was MXN converted to USD. Was it worth it? Hard to say. $225-$250 would have seemed much more in line. Also note that the suites are about 450 square feet. Two rooms. The website pictures are deceiving and make them look bigger. Would I stay there again? Not on the weekend, that's for sure.…
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful hotel. It offers the best of both worlds: it's in the middle of all the action - steps away from the Jardín, the Teatro Juarez, shops and restaurants -- but, once you step through it's doors, you enter a quiet, welcoming oasis. Our beautiful room had a small balcony that looked out on the Jardín. We could stand on the balcony to hear wonderful music, or close the doors for peace and quiet. But the best part of the experience was the wonderful staff. They were kind and helpful at every step. And they even went so far as to write a welcome note to our dog, signed by everyone. Our dog loved to run into the lobby to say hello to everyone. This is probably the most dog-friendly hotel we've ever stayed at. Thank you for a wonderful stay! …
The staff and level of service at this hotel was excellent. The hotel is in the heart of the gardens, very European, and historic. We stayed in the Teresa room, which overlooked the gardens. We ordered room service which came very quickly. We felt very safe and well taken care of.
