Our stay at El Castillo was very pleasant until the morning we left. We had trouble with our bill. On the website, our 2 rooms were listed at $70 and $90 respectively. When we saw out bill, we had been charged $100 a night for each of the rooms. We asked to speak to the owner, and we were told... More

This was my 5th visit to Hotel Castillo in the delightful town of Xilitla. The obvious purpose of the trip was to visit once again the amazing garden of Edward James. Las Pozas.

Ample hot water and water... More

El Castillo was the home of Don Plutarco and family. His daughter runs it now as a bed and breakfast in Xilitla. I was greeted by her, given a tour of the home, and had a very nice conversation. I felt very welcome. I had the Gran Vista room with an incredible view of the valley. The room is huge,... More
