Hotel de Mendoza

The hotel is older but very comfortably furnished with lots of storage for clothes, suitcases, etc. It is located very centrally in the old district, which made it easy to walk everywhere, as well as take the metro to more distant locations. We loved the pool in the afternoons when it was too hot (38C) to go sightseeing, and we found the bed to be very comfortable as well. The bathroom was clean and the amenities excellent; lots of hot water in the shower! There was not a great deal of English spoken here but it was good practice for my Spanish!

I really liked the restaurant. The food was delicious and and it was really convenient to have food nearby and available. The location was a also great. It is right in the center of Guadalajara which was super convenient to visit all of the great tourist attractions by foot. The city's metro station is also within walking distance of the hotel! All of this, paired with excellent staff who were kind and courteous, made our stay a great experience! (I hope all staff members are getting the pay they deserve because they are doing an excellent job!)

This hotel is a hidden gem in a great location in the historic area. There are many local restaurants and shops. The Zocolo is only a couple of blocks away. The room is large and airy. There are plugs by the bedside and sweet little nightstand in between the beds. There’s a wardrobe for hanging clothes and a chest of drawers . We were there for seven nights, and it was just perfect for us. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a swimming pool around the corner from the main section of the hotel which we missed.

The laundry service was excellent.

Hotel de Mendoza was spotlessly clean, and my room was very cool and comfortable in the heat. It’s a perfect location for a first visit to Guadalajara, especially for a solo traveller. It’s in the heart of the historic centre, and I felt very safe walking around the area. They can help you organise day trips to Tequila etc, if you haven’t booked in advance. Lots of cafes and restaurants close by, and I really enjoyed eating in the hotel restaurant La Forja. Definitely recommend this hotel!
