Hotel and Hostel Allende

Rooms size of closets, some with no TV, no bathroom door, no closets, no drawers, no nightstand, plenty of drain flies, alive and squished on filthy walls, and lots of mosquitoes. Tried to charge for free parking, asleep so 35 minutes ringing door bell and phone to get in and it was below 50 F. I am 74 and was freezing. NEVER AGAIN AT THIS DUMP. Great location and friendly staff, so it is a shame. OVERPRICED FOR SURE.

Excellent location, very clean and amazingly low price. Very nice staff and very helpfup with any question. We stayed 2 nights in a very comfortable bed, very quiet, but close to the main cathedral. The well equipped kitchen is a plus as well.

I read a recent review that described their experience here as "worst ever." Their review was unfair--they must have been expecting a luxury hotel for a bargain price. I did not experience any odors. I stayed at the hotel two years ago, in March 2015. My room on the second floor was basic, appropriate for the price. There may have been a chair, but no other furniture. There was no place to put out my clothes and gear. The bed, towels, room, and bathroom were clean, but not luxurious. A minor problem was minimal ventilation--there was some kind of ventilation opening over the door, but no external window. But since days were cool, the minimal ventilation wasn't really a problem. The bathroom was small but everything worked--including the hot water. There was a very small sink was in the room. There was a TV. The interior courtyard was a nice place to relax, and you can take stairs to the roof where you can look over a school courtyard and to the mountains. The staff were courteous and helpful. Internet: There were two computers in the courtyard, but I couldn't get an internet signal. I found an internet wire coming out of the wall (I think for office use), so I switched it to my computer and the internet worked! The hostel is located a bit less than half a mile from the main square. They lock the door at night, so you have to ring to get in. I feel it is safe. The street, very busy during the day, is quiet at night. I felt perfectly safe returning to the hotel at night, even at 11:00 pm. It's not a beautiful or quaint place. If you take the bargain price into account and don't expect luxury, you should be satisfied. By saving money here, I could splurge at the wonderful gourmet restaurant nearby at the Hotel Casino Morelia. My ratings are based on the expectation of a bargain price, and comparing it to other hotels of the same price.
