Para llegar a descansar está bastante bien y es accesible. Los únicos detalles en mi estancia fueron que al llegar había vello en el lavabo del baño, era bastante evidente como para que no lo hubieran visto al asear. Los comentarios dicen que hay plaga de cucarachas, y sí me topé con una pero de ahí no más. El lugar se queda demasiado solo por las noches, no hay luz y hay muchos vagos y drogos deambulando. Si vas a turistear de día, salir a cenar y luego encerrarte en el hotel a las 8:30 o 9 para bañarte, descansar y no salir hasta el día siguiente por la mañana, es la mejor opción.

This is a great place to stay in Guadalajara, more for its location which is very close to Degollado’s theater.

El Hotel Guadalajara ofrece una estancia cómoda y agradable para sus huéspedes. Durante mi visita, los cuartos resultaron ser bastante confortables, ideales para descansar después de un día explorando la ciudad. Las camas son acogedoras y las habitaciones están bien equipadas, proporcionando un ambiente relajante. Sin embargo, noté que el elevador puede ser un poco lento, especialmente durante las horas pico, lo que podría ser un inconveniente si tienes prisa. A pesar de esto, la experiencia en general fue positiva. Otro detalle a considerar es que, al estar junto al teatro, en ciertos horarios puede haber algo de ruido, particularmente cuando se realizan eventos o presentaciones. Esto podría afectar a quienes buscan un entorno completamente tranquilo, pero es un punto menor si disfrutas de la vibrante vida cultural de la zona. En general, el Hotel Guadalajara es una buena opción por su ubicación céntrica y la comodidad que ofrece en sus habitaciones. Es ideal para quienes desean explorar la ciudad con facilidad y tener un lugar cómodo para descansar al final del día.

La habitación es pequeña pero con lo necesario, es bonita la habitación y el baño, lo más importante limpio, no recuerdo el nombre de la chica de la tarde, muy amable y servicial. Le doy un 10 a su servicio . La ubicación es perfecta detrás del teatro, todo esta muy cerca, seguridad pues no tuve problemas, solo es cuestión de no meterse en lugares que no debemos y ya. El precio creo que es de acuerdo a lo que ofrecen, he estado en lugares dónde te cobran más el servicio es malo, lo peor hay pelos en la cama o esta sucio . Este lugar si vale la pena, Me encanta la hermosa ciudad de Guadalajara. Por su puesto que me volveré a hospedar allí, no se cuando pero lo haré. Si lo recomiendo

Hola la locacion es buena el personal de servicio es bueno tratan de resolver con sus limites. Pero cuidado el ruido del bar justo al lado del hotel es insoportable hasta amanecer literal. Me toco la habitacion 106 y justo arriva escuela de baile folklorico. Sapateado hasta muy noche. El ruido no te permite descansar. PIEMSALO ANTES DE RECERVAR.
