91%El Hogar de Carmelita

Great location not far from the center of the city. Carmen was wonderful and so helpful and hospitable. One of the best places I've stayed!

This place gives you the coziness of a real mexican home, like no other.

The place is nice and the owner very helpful. The place is quiet and 25 or 30 minutos walking to the downtown or you can take the bus just in front of the house. If you are looking for fun this is the wrong place, if you are looking for tranquility, of course, this is the right place.

Very friendly host although you'll need to know a little spanish. comfortable rooms, a little out of the centre. Carmen goes out of her way to accomodate your every wish!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Carmen (the owner) took good care of us and provided excellent Mexican breakfasts. She even showed us around Guanajuato. Although it is situated a little out of the city center, we would highly recommend it!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed our time. Carmen was a great host - friendly and very welcoming, the room was very clean and comfortable and the place was just a short stroll from the centre. We travelled for a month in Mexico and this was one of our favourite places...

My wife and I had a great experience at the Carmelita hostel! We definitely would recommend it to other people. The room was very clean, the owner extremely warm and friendly, and only a short and beautiful stroll to get to the main historic downtown.

This place is awesome! Carmen welcomes you as if you were family. The first breakfast is on the house as a welcome gesture and you basically don't need to eat for the rest of the day.

The first breakfast is on the house as a welcome gesture and you basically don't need to eat for the rest of the day. We were also invited to a birthday party where Carmen's brother serenades the guests with his musical skills. The house is charming, quiet and a little out of the center but it's only a 15 minute walk and it's very safe. You can also catch a city bus right outside her door. There's shops around as well and a great restaurant if you don't feel like going far.close

we have traveled the world and have never met such incredible hospitality!! Within minutes Carmen and her aunt made us feel right at home and took care of us until the moment we left. Don't miss this wonderful experience in an amazing city!!

Best bargain you will ever find, this is really a bed and breakfast atmosphere. The rooms have dressers...closets,etc. The owner, Carmen, will take you in as a mother would.

The rooms have dressers...closets,etc. The owner, Carmen, will take you in as a mother would. This is like staying with family; we were only here for two nights and wish we could stay a week. Even better for us that it was not in the city center,about a 15 minute walk which was great. There is a nice park and lake just up the road as well which you would never see otherwise. Hostels in Mexico are a real crap shoot, most are seedy and noisy. This is a sure bet!!!!! You will leave feeling guilty that you paid such a reasonable rate. Book this place! PS. Carmen¨'s brother is a great singer and guitar player as well!close
