We keep returning to this charming boutique hotel year after year! Meson Sacristia provides the most romantic atmosphere in the heart of historic Puebla. We absolutely fell in love with this unique hotel years ago! Breakfasts are delicious and colorful, served on authentic, hand-made Talavera dishes. Hotel provides many services, including even culinary lessons in English! Best in town, upscale Mexican arts and crafts store is just across the street. The hotel has a great restaurant on premises, and if you want variety, it is surrounded by best restaurants in Puebla. Artists' quarters, The Cathedral and all museums are a short walk away. Many thanks to Mr. Edgar Desiga, Hotel Manager, for arranging our transportation from and to Mexico City, and for making our stay absolutely delightful and enjoyable! We hope to see you again next year!…
This was our first visit to Puebla and the Mesón Sacristía proved to be a perfect base for exploring this beautiful city. This small hotel is located on one of the most picturesque streets in Puebla, just three blocks from the zocalo and a frequent setting for wedding and other special occasion photographs. The building is over 250 years old and the rooms are spacious, bright, clean and quiet. We stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the colorful street. The ceilings are about twelve feet high and the rooms, furnished with attractive antiques, have tile floors. The room rate includes an excellent breakfast with fruit, bread and egg dishes as well as some Puebla specialties served in the courtyard restaurant, which also serves delicious local specialties for dinner. There are a great many museums and other sites of interest within easy walking distance of the hotel and adjacent pedestrian streets host a weekend handicraft market. The friendly and helpful staff provided lots of information on places of interest and excellent restaurant recommendations. We took advantage of the opportunity for airport pick-up and took two out of town day trips with staff member Andres who is an especially careful driver with a very comfortable car. The hotel will also arrange for tours with a local agency to the many interesting places within two hours of the city. We spent ten nights but still did not see all that the city and the surrounding area has to offer. A return visit next year is likely, and we will surely book another stay in the Mesón Sacristía.…
Beautiful building, good breakfast, but in need of better maintenance. Dryer with broken leg was taken for repair but no replacement for our stay. Knob fell off a drawer, air conditioner quit working, bedside lamp burned out, etc. but staff pleasant. However had only one city map which we were happy to receive. For 100.00 USD would expect better functionality. Great location in a great city,
All the reviews that speak of charm and location are accurate. First though, this is not the Hilton so if you want new or minimalist, read on to the next hotel on the list. Located in a former house, all the rooms are different, and everything is what you want in Mexico, stone steps, mixed-up colors, a picturesque courtyard, antiques. Nothing is matched or "corporate". Unlike with many hotels, the street outside is small and accessible, at the same time being part of the city and yet in a secret romantic part of it (few cars, sidewalk cafes, stalls of "almost" antiques on the weekends). Annoyances? Some noise from the restaurant, high steps in the room. Pluses, good mattress, tasty breakfast. I intended to take the bus from MEX but the hotel arranged a reasonable transfer and this was worth it for lack of hassle.…
Very nicely located in a charming street downtown Puebla. Walking distance to all major downtown attractions. The hotel itself is a cozy traditional mexican villa. Breakfast was outstanding, several options available and freshly made upon request, including excellent regional dishes. Overall we have a very pleasant stay, also mainly due to the very friendly and attentive service from the hotel staff!
