This is a small colonial style hotel that is 4 years old. It has a beautiful roof terrace that provides a view of the town, a well as an interior garden filled with flowers. The rooms are small but charming. The staff is helpful, and some are English speaking. The hotel is about a 3 block walk from the Zocalo.... More

We are also wondering why this hotel is not listed with the other hotels in Tlaxcala instead of being labeled speciality lodging.

I asked him if he could pick me up at the Puebla airport, and he said yes, for $40. I replied that would be great. I followed up with an e-mail one week before my trip, but got... More

Although Trip Advisor misspells its name and mis-categorizes it (what IS "Specialty Lodging"?), this HOTEL, Posada la Casona de Cortes, is by far the best place to stay in central Tlaxcala (and you do want to stay in the center of this beautiful town). Recently opened, in a turn-of-last-century mansion, the hotel is small - 19 rooms - varying from... More
