This stay was a great value near the museum/landmark of Alhondigas de la Granitas, the site of the first major victory of the Insurgentes under Hidalgo (and where his head later hung for over a decade). My only complaints were that the room was warm/no ventilation even though the ceiling fan was going---I had to leave the windows open but... More

This hotel doesn't look like much from the street, but once you get inside it's much better. The rooms are basic, but clean. The first night of our stay, we were in a room facing the street. There was alot of street noise and the internet didn't work from it. We asked to move to a quieter room for our... More

Four hours away from Mexico City Guanajuato is easily one of Mexico's most beautiful towns with a great nightlife. The hotel boasts a very beautiful although unused courtyard. The rooms are nice, clean, simple and spacious enough. The hotel is cheap and you get a lot of value for your money. Although you can choose between many breakfast options food... More

The Socavon is definitely not a four of five star hotel. However, if you're looking for a good inexpensive hotel in Guanajuato, this is a great option. The place is clean. It has charm. It had a good internet connection (I was able to use video skype with no problems). A full breakfast was included. I'd definitely stay here again.... More

Rooms are simple and clean. Beautiful little interior courtyard with mining equipment depicting Guanajuato's roots as a silver mine city. All the rooms look out onto this. We had 3rd floor room in the corner that was decorated with self portraits of artist Frida Kahlo. Looked out over courtyard and you could hear the doves roosting in the eaves. No... More

We heard about this hotel from a local Guanajuato resident. My wife and I, along with our two boys, stayed in it -- initially selecting it for the value. Children under a certain age are free, parking is free, and breakfast was included, and the price was still way less than many others. It looks unimpressive from the street --... More

It is a quiet place but it was kind of far from the main areas. The food in the restaurant is good though. My hubby and I paid for a room with breakfast and we noticed that the prices are the same or lower if we would had just purchaced the room without the breakfast. What really dissapointed us was...

Nice rooms, comfortable beds, helpful staff. It is a bit far from the center - 15-20 min on foot - which means you can actually sleep at night.

I read the reviews and was a little worried when my group traveling to GTO decided to use this hotel. First, remember this is Guanajuato - a beautiful, wonderful, historical city - and there is no Ritz here. First the bad (which I would actually call the "to be expected") -poor water pressure -slow and unreliable hot water -no air... More
