“Surprisingly Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

We enjoyed our stay here quite a bit. The rooms were nice, the beds comfortable. The hotel is kept up nicely. The staff is polite enough but very young and a little timid but they gave us enough help when we asked for it. The location is right in front of the pyramid/church and about a 10 minute walk from the zocalo.
I suppose if you are accustomed to luxury hotels, this one might seem meager but we usually stay in budget hotels. Villas Arqueologicas had a $59 special that we took advantage of so it was a pleasant surprise for us.
The only negative was that we had the bad luck to be there the evening of some local political rally and they had an outdoor dance afterwards near the hotel with music blasting through a mega-PA system until well after midnight (on a Tuesday) and it shook the walls of our room.
Any of the other 364 nights of the year I'm sure it's a super quiet place!
After reading some of the other reviews, I think they have done some maintenance recently because our experience was a bit different. The wifi worked fine and everything was well painted and maintained.

“Very basic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2009

What is great about this hotel is that is it's location. If you want to see the ruines they are right in front, you cannot get any closer. The hotel itsef is very basic and a Club Med standard I would expect. It is cheap though and ok for one night so I didn't complain. The room are super small, dark, and poorly designed with absolutely no frils. Food at the restaurant was pretty good. Internet did not work in the rooms. SImply nothing special...

“Very Nice, shame about dinner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2009

We stayed here while attending a friend's wedding in Mexico. On arriving they checked us in quickly and helped us to our rooms. The room was small but comfortable and a bit different. It was nice and cool during the day and warm enough at night.
We tried the pool once, but it was very cold and as I had a cold, did not venture in. It was very clean though.
Breakfast was a bit on the mean side, only toast, and although included, the tip wasn't.
Dinner was not so great. The main course was pretty mank, but the pudding was really ncie.

Locationwise, it was fab, just a short walk to the pyramid and town centre (short cut across the fields) and most importantly it was close to where the wedding was. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

“Poorly run, well-painted entry, older property has seen better days”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2009

Don't be fooled by photos of the pool or pyramid. Unqualified staff is friendly, but unknowledgeable. They can't even give directions to pyramid access--the main attraction. Rooms mostly have view of unkept lawn that surrounds 3/4 of property and faces a dirt alley, NOT the famous church or pyramid where the Entry faces--they dress it up with nicely painted Gate/Entry and a tiled Lobby. Remodeled showers, but "Standard Room" has not been updated in years! Don't expect to control temperature in your room. Pool was not clean--I saw two swimmers only while there. Locals seem to come for Weekend Brunch at restaurant, but beware of over-billing by waiters. Waiters act with formal flair, table cloths, but lunch and dinner are overcooked, unpleasant, and for survival only.

“Nice quiet hotel, beware of poor administration!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2009

Stayed an extended weekend (thursday till sunday) at this hotel. Booked two rooms, one standard and one suite.
Booking was a bit problematic, took three phonecalls and two emails to get things wright. Even after that it was problematic to retrieve our reservations when we arrived.....
Hotel is beautifully designed, nice artworks on display and very well maintained poolarea.

Rooms, as mentioned before, not too spacious, but very nicely decorated and clean.

Personel very friendly, not always very fast (don't light your sigarette before you have askes the ashtray.....). Restaurantfood was very nice!
We liked the location, nice and quiet with a view on the church on top of the piramid. Zocalo is a bit further, but by car an easy five minute drive.

Just one negative point: administration... There was a 'second night free' action running, we mentioned this when booking, but still all nights were calculated on the final acounts (as well as the breakfast, wich was complementary..). Everything was fixed, but this took a lot of calculating efforts from the administration ladies (and a lot of patience from us).
Don't let this withhold you, still exellent place to stay for a very reasanoble price!
