Charming nostalgic and wonderful staff

No Breakfast. beautifully and well maintained

Great stay! Clean hacienda style with lots of antiques and cool designs. Personal breakfast cooked to order. Very friendly staff.

Quiet. Lovely courtyard. Nicely old fashioned. Good breakfast

Plastic undersheet.

Location

Old furniture. Needs updating Staff arrived late to open up

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room had a lovely rustic and antique feel that gave it a lot of charm. The location was perfect, just a short walk from downtown and the cathedral. Breakfast was delicious and tasted homemade. The staff was very friendly, and they went out of their way to make the room feel special for my partner, which I really appreciated. I would happily stay here again.

La ubicación y ambientación.

Falta de agua caliente una noche por falta de gas. Piso de duelo de madera "cruje" mucho. El baño tiene olor a caño.

Adorable place. Easy to walk to El Centro. Very nice staff. Quiet at night. Quiet heater.

The bed was good but an upgraded mattress would have made everything better.

Little charming hotel boutique in Chihuahua down town: Lot of good restaurants and bars at walking distance!

The property is just a good value hotel. It is not THE best but our room was comfy and charming!

Het hotel ligt op wandelafstand van het centrum. De kamers zijn ruim genoeg, zijn heel mooi ingericht met vintage decoratie elementen en zijn heel gezellig. Er is wifi en het personeel is vriendelijk.

It is a very small hotel with only 6 rooms. The rooms are cozy and the beds are big and comfortable too. Didn't need the heater but it was available. Big shower. Room door was exactly by the front desk which is weird but not a problem. The front desk lady was extremely friendly and helpful. Even before my stay they answered all my questions in WhatsApp. The neighborhood seems safe and there is a restaurant right next door. It is in a residential neighborhood, very quiet.

Lovely, historic boutique hotel. Was a little worried about having the room off the lobby, but very quiet. Great location.

Check in was a little complicated, but I think that had more to do with me than the hotel!

Friendly staff who invited us to spend time in the communal lounge while waiting for an evening flight Great location

Great location, comfy rooms and friendly helpful staff, we had an evening flight and they invited us to rest in the lounge before our flights which was much appreciated.

とてもおしゃれで、泊まっていて楽しい。 可愛い空間でした。 浴室も清潔で、快適でした。

Gute Lage, nettes Personal, super leckeres Frühstück. Das Hotel hat einen ganz besonderen, historischen Flair.

- Sauberkeit: auf dem Bett und Boden lag jede Menge Dreck. Darauf angesprochen erklärte das Personal, das läge an den alten decken. Ich finde, es kann nicht sein, dass andauernd Dreck auf einen hinunter regnet... im Klo waren außerdem Ränder und es schwammen Moskito Larven herum - so lange wurde offenbar nicht mehr geputzt - Mosquitos: der Garten ist ein Paradis für Mosquitos und gefährliche Tigermücken, das Wasser steht einfach herum, überall sind ihre Larven, wir wurden trotz mückenschutz komplett verstochen, durch die Kleidung. Auch in den Zimmern sind sie, weil das Personal bei offenen Türen putzt. Durch die hohen Decken kann man sie nicht jagen. Dadurch hatten wir eine sehr nervige Nacht.

no desayunamos en l el hotel

que las camas se doblaban al sentase y rechinaban. los colchones definitivamente no sirven no pudimos dormir y a El cuarto le hace fatla Luz. solo tiene un foco pequeno que no alusa.

De ligging was goed.

Bij aankomst was er geen receptiepersoneel.

Vriendelijk personeel, authentieke inrichting, rustige ligging

Ontbijt is vrij eenzijdig en niet aangepast aan Europese toeristen

Nice and quite

No breakfast

Good location in city center, very nice colonial house.

December was quite cold and the room had no central heating, only a gas stove that had to be turned off at night for safety reasons.

The bed was comfortable, good shower, quiet.

A little bit pricey. The door on the bathroom didn't open wide and was in the way of entering the bathroom. Maybe a sliding door would be better.

This is my favorite hotel in Mexico. Located within walking distance of the cathedral, restaurants, and shopping, it is peaceful, beautiful and welcoming. The owner is so kind and makes you feel like you’re visiting a friend.

Nice period decoration and inner courtyard. Excellent breakfast, cooked to order. Good service including laundry.

Location near city centre but a little far from main sites if walking. But neighbouring café excellent for hot drinks, snacks and ice cream.

Awesome rustic vibe of the place, it is full of history and culture. Comfortable stay and lovely and friendly staff!

You need to let the staff know you want breakfast in advance and the time breakfast starts is later than usual.

The warm, patient, knowledgeable hospitality. Clean facility. Good coffee in the morning. The location is good, only 10 minutes walking to the cathedral. A 17 minute stroll back from the Revolution Museum. Plus, Araceli gave me excellent refined restaurant recommendations based on my request to not want to be around tourists/gringos. La Nómada and Central Boutique Hotel were great walkable choices.

Honestly, all was good. Small heads up: I wish there were more updated TV options beyond cable channels with dubbed shows. I’m a streaming tv watcher, personally. Also, it’s an old, beautiful, well-kept house. While it’s charming, I could clearly hear verbatim the conversation of the adjacent guests through the bathroom. Araceli thankfully warned me about hearing when each side showers, which isn’t a problem to me knowing that it’s a 19th century building. But I didn’t think I’d be able to hear their conversation. It made me question the privacy I had. You might wanna request the rooms in the back of the building for this reason.

Beautiful, historic building. Nicely decorated with antiques. Close to the center yet quite. Friendly, communicative staff.

Nothing!

The rooms are nice and unique, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. A good place to stay.

Lovely historic property.

Nothing that we didn’t like.

Very comfortable old home with nice classic decor. Very helpful staff.

Beautiful hotel/ boutique. Comfortable beds. Fantastic staff. Great location. Only blocks away from a variety of historical buildings, church and central plaza. Nice restaurant with friendly and attentive staff only a half block away recommended by our host. Unfortunately we checked out before breakfast so couldn't partake in that.

Nothing to dislike.

Great place to stay with wonderful decor. Very friendly and always accommodating. I've stayed here many times and it never disappoints.

Annaskita who hosted our stay was fantastic. We arrived at breakfast time to leave our suitcases and Anna cooked us the most delicious breakfast as we were hungry. The next day she took us to a store to help us with buying a local sim. The room was comfortable and the courtyard a peaceful place to sit and relax. We would definitely stay there again.

The plug in room fragrance dispenser- i un plugged it.

This is a favorite hotel of mine, I frequently return. Very charming with great antique furnishings. I ran very late because of traffic and the were very kind about my late arrival.

The hotel is very charming with its courtyards, large kitchen, and parlor area. I loved the antiques used as decor throughout the hotel, giving one a feeling of going back in time. The staff were very helpful and pleasant.

I wish I knew Spanish. One staff person was pretty fluent in English, but the other one who didn't speak much English was very nice and tried to be helpful also. We tried to communicate using a translation app on my iPhone, and that worked well if we typed in sentences, but not when we tried to speak into the phone.

Breakfast was authentic and very good.

Hotel is quiet and safe but location is 3 blocks+ walking distance from Cathedral and Central Plaza.

Good location for exploring the city. Good shower and facilities

a confortable hole-in-the-wall

not that easy to find at first. even taxi driver refused to find it

Nicely, decorated, comfortable and the best hot shower in Mexico. Pet friendly. Ask for a room in back because the rooms near reception are somewhat noisy.

beautiful place and tranquil

they need electric heaters instead of gas for nighttime in the winter

Perfect location!

Third world amenities. Pics didn't match up with actuality.

Bello hotel boutique. Recomendable por su esencia de historia y muy céntrico.

Excelente hotel...

It is a restored historic house, very quiet, with attentive staff. The front door is kept locked a lot of the time, including overnight, so it is an especially secure place. There are no stairs which is unusual in a historic building. The room featured high old wood ceilings and tile floors. There was a mixture of old and new, such as an old sewing machine cabinet made into a table by adding a modern glass top. There was an iron tub with feet containing a good shower and the bed was comfortable. Our room did not have a window, but a ceiling vent with either just outside air or evaporative cooling kept us comfortable. There was a wall heater for times of the year one might need it. The closet was small. Breakfast was courteous and right on time, but was nothing more than coffee, juice, fresh fruit, dry cereal or toast, and yogurt. We had expected a full breakfast. It is a few blocks walk to the city center but just a block or two to the Vivabus. This is a new system with a designated bus lane and enclosed stops in the center of the street. During business hours it runs every 5 minutes. The bus runs through the city center as well as to the main bus station.

San Felipe el Real is conveniently located near down town, but far enough to miss the congestion and noise. We enjoyed the friendliness of the owners, Pearl, Daniel and Luz, and their ability to make one feel welcome. It is not a pretentious place but it has possibilities. We stayed in room #1 which can be very noisy as guests walk in the immediate hall when they come into the hotel, often carrying on conversations with other or on their phone and we were woken up two different nights. The other rooms seemed to be far from enough from the entrance and may not suffer this problem. The hotel is small and pleasant. I had no problem snf would stay there again...

This lovely old home converted to a quaint hotel was a great find. Old creeky floors and a nice big bathroom was wonderful.

Las habitaciones son de otra época, es un viaje en el tiempo

It is pretty well located close to the city centre. It is an old house with few rooms turned into a boutique hotel. Decoration is nice including several antique objects. It was clean and staff friendly to assist.

En general bien, un hotel antiguo cin muchos detalles de su estilo antiguo. Me gusto!

A las instalaciones les falta mantenimiento y está muy descuidaso

This hotel seems to have been somebody’s home. We arrived in the dark and there was nothing available to eat or drink and our room was off the small courtyard. The room was definitely quirky with a huge bed with bed clothes that weren’t really big enough but lovely antique furniture and an old stove and gas fire. I have no idea if either worked. None of the lights had all the bulbs working, which was a shame because the room needed better lighting. The bathroom was big and modern bits but it was impossible to keep the water from the shower actually in the bath. It went everywhere. And we didn’t know if loo paper was to go in the bin, which was NOT next to the loo, or could be flushed. Breakfast was adequate.

A gteat location for exploring downtown. Efficient and friendly staff

We enjoyed two nights in this renovated 19th century home. There are six rooms arranged around an inner courtyard. Each room is furnished with period furniture and accessories, but each has a modern bathroom. A delicious hot breakfast is provided between 8 and 10 AM, cooked to order. The hotel is located a short walk from the main plaza, the Cathedral, and several other sites. The host is very helpful and friendly. Recommended!

fue muy breve la estancia (7horas) para poder evaluarlo con aplitud y objetividad

Accueil sympathique, le personnel a notre ecoute pour nous aider

We had five nights and four days to experience the hospitality shown from this family as we spent time in Chihuahua. It is a very small bed and breakfast hotel with twenty-four hour desk and security in the heart of historic downtown. During our stay we spent two days in the hotel relaxing and recharging. There is a lovely enclosed patio, with comfortable table and chairs, air conditioning in the rooms, comfortable beds, a nice breakfast of eggs, ham or chorizo, fruit, toast, coffee, and conversations! We have not stayed other places in Chihuahua, but would definitely book at this boutique hotel again just because they treated us as family! Completely wonderful!

a wonderful quaint place, staff is out of this world they are so nice and very helpful wow!!!

Es un Hotel pequeño, pero nos trataron excelente

The actual hotel is nice. The owners have recreated a Victorian feel to the rooms. It's very simple, small and intimate. Breakfast was cooked in a kitchen area right next to a beautiful, giant table for us. Simple but delicious eggs with chorizo, cereal, yogurt and papaya. Host was helpful with ideas for what to see in our limited visit. It's walking distance to the central square and a few major sights. Not a lot of fun neighborhood vibe like we have found in Mexico City or Antigua but I would recommend the hotel to anyone spending time in Chihuahua. Make sure to look through the folder of pictures of renovation to appreciate what they did.

I stayed at this hotel for three days because I was presenting my book, Abraham Lincoln and Mexico, at the state archives and Museo de Casa de Juarez The host was very gracious. He cooked breakfast for us each morning: eggs with chorizo, tortilla, coffee, fruit. The rooms had heat and we quite comfortable We used the patio often for book discussions, as well as the cozy living room. The hotel is situated in an ideal location for access to the center of the city. We also felt safe walking about. Highly recommended.

We stayed at San Felipe El Real for one night on our way to take the Copper Canyon train and one night on our return. Next time, we will stay more nights. We loved our room. The staff is extremely helpful and nice (they even arranged for my car to have its oil changed and the alternator repaired while we were gone). Our room was spacious; there's a great living room area and dining room area where we hung out; breakfast was prepared for us, including eggs to our liking. The house is beautifully decorated with antique furniture and rarities. Plus, we were only a few blocks from the cathedral and the really great Historical Museum of the Revolution at Pancho Villa's house. We highly recommend!

A great place to stay, located close to the main plaza but in a quiet street. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to any one visiting Chihuahua.

Clean, quiet and lovely mid-19th century home/B&B... walking distance from El Chepe Station and the cathedral. Lovely breakfast included and really nice staff. Hector had great suggestions on what to do in a short amount of time. We really enjoyed our stay here... as short as it was. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel, but the bed was very uncomfortable (hard, noisy because of the bed springs and you could feel when the other person moves). Location: the hotel is located 5 minutes walk to the Cathedral. The neighborhood was a bit quiet at nights, but it was only one and a half blocks that were dark, and since the neighborhood is mostly residential it doesn't feel as lonely. Room: Hard bed, old furniture which was charming, but not very well kept (one of the night tables was falling apart), no hooks to hang towels or anything else. Very good heater. The hotel book a taxi for us to go to the train station which is 5 minutes away (in car), and we were charged $150 pesos for that ride, which is more than what we paid to get from the airport to the hotel. Important advice: Confirm the price before accepting the ride.

This boutique hotel selected by our tour operator Copper Canyon Adventure Tours(CCAT) was a 100 year old residence converted to a charming vintage 6 room hotel. Small courtyard entrance to our room, nothing fancy or modern but quaint decor. WiFi was better than expected. Great breakfast. Became friends with the owner’s cousin , Hector who covered the afternoon shift but was an art teacher in the local area. To our surprise he gave us a beautiful Talavera platter. Very unexpected!! This was a nice hotel close to the center of Chihuahua.

Quaint rooms in an old building with very friendly staff and a lovely breakfast. The hotel is ideally placed between the main square and the University area with many bars and restaurants The rooms have air con but as it's an old building I got bitten by mozzies at night so you might want to use insect repellant

En general el hotel es bonito, aunque raro. Es como antiguo con cosas nuevas. Pero está descuidado, podrían tenerlo en mejores condiciones. La cama muy incómoda, dura. La regadera era linda pero las cortinas eran un parche y estaban rotas. Hay agua para tomar disponible, pero no hay vasos. Me parece que vale la mitad de lo que cobran

Ancient and renovated house. The neighborhood is so calm as the same home. The rooms are very comfortable with old furniture but very nice. I can say that the attention and breakfast were the best. I will back there.

The most unusual and nicest thing about the hotel for me were the traditional dining room and living rooms. We had breakfast at a large table in the dining room with other guests, which was very pleasant (and the food was great). We relaxed in the living room whenever we wanted. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The wifi was strong. The decor is historical, which is interesting, but it made my room seem cluttered and out-of-date. My friend's room was simpler, brighter, and more pleasant. The bathrooms are modern and clean. Plenty of hot water.

this is converted residence built in the traditional colonial Mexican style, i.e all rooms are around a small patio. Our room got its only daylight from a small window to the patio like we experienced at many other small hotels of this kind in Mexico. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, making us feel at home. When we aske for a pizzeria nearby, he suggested to have a pizza delivered and eat on the patio. He set the table for us without being asked!

A very nice place that resembles the colonial "casonas" or "haciendas" you feel transported in time in between those walls

We were traveling on a tour thru Northern Mexico with our ultimate destination being the Copper Canyon. This was one of our layovers on the trip. It was a pretty nice acommodations for the area and the age of the property & city.

Hotel Exclusivo, solo con 6 habitaciones, tematico, bonito... Muy bueno...

The hotel has everything you might need, but nothing superfluous. The rooms are clean, large and the bathroom was well appointed. The staff didn't speak much English, but we're cheerful and happy to deal with my bad Spanish skills. We had some misunderstandings but all my fault the the staff remained cheerful and helpful throughout.

Really enjoyed this hotel! It's on a quiet back street and fairly close to the Chepe train station. Saw one review suggesting a shuttle. I would respond that taxis abound and the proprietor was extremely helpful in getting early rides scheduled for us. The complementary breakfast was excellent. This feels more like a B&B than a hotel, but a great experience overall.

We had booked this hotel on their own website about 6 weeks before our stay. Each hotel room is different, and you select the one you want based on its appearance and price. On Sept. 7 we received a confirmation directly from the hotel for the room we had selected. When we arrived as planned on the evening of Nov. 19, the man at the desk informed us that his daytime colleague at the desk had given our room to someone else, and that we had been put in another room. No explanation, and no apology. In fact, he said that if it had been his fault he would apologize, but since it was not his fault he would not apologize. The room he put us in (the only remaining one) was right by the front door so you heard everyone entering and leaving the hotel. The only window in the room was right on the street. The lamp next to the bed did not work. The shower had mold growing in it. The bathroom had no drinking glasses, nor any place to hang things (no towel racks or hooks). The room was very cold, but it did have a wall heater. Unfortunately either the heater didn't work, or the young man who was the overnight clerk didn't know how to operate it. An extra blanket was found. We asked the young man for a map of the city and some information on the tourist bus we'd heard about, but he was unable to find either of those. (We don't blame him, but lack of training from management.) In the morning, the new desk clerk was very pleasant and prepared a nice breakfast for us, and then helped us get a taxi to take us to the airport. However, the overall experience of staying at this hotel was most unpleasant, from not honoring the reservation they had confirmed, to the unapologetic attitude of staff, to the condition of the room they put us in, to the lack of information available from staff. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel and staff were great. We arrived late from the train. We were checked in and given directions to a very nice restaurant and after eating we walked to the cathedral. We liked Chihuahua very much and now want to return at a later date so we can enjoy the city and the hotel more thoroughly. The room was nicely decorated, the bed comfortable and the shower and A/C great.

Pros- very nice and helping staff- we took the El Chepe so we stayed for 1 night and then left our stuff at the hotel and returned for 1 more night upon returned from the Copper Canyon. The staff watched for our luggage while we were traveling (for 3 days) with no obligations to stay for additional night from our end and without payment. The staff was always patient and attentive and answered all our questions and recommended on activities and places in the city. Good, generous and healthy breakfast. Very close to the Chepe station and the airport. Cons- rooms not very clean The decor is very old and not in a good condition First night- the shower head didn't work well because it was blocked with fur; second night there was bad smell from the toilette. The guy from the front desk offered us to move to another room but as it was already late, and this was our last night, we decided to stay in our room. He promised that someone will come to check the smell but no one came. Wi fi didn't work part of the time. Also the guy from the front desk promised someone will come to check this but no one came.

This small hotel, like most we visited on our trip through central Mexico, is more like a B&B. With a choice of which bedroom we wanted to stay in and a large dining room table to share while eating breakfast, it was cute, quaint, a bit rustic (in a good way) and perfect for our one night stay. The first host we met didn't speak english, but with a quick Google Translate search, she was able to understand we needed a breakfast at 5am and they happily accommodated. The morning host was happy and helpful and spoke english well. I would recommend this as a choice for a stay-over before heading to the train to Copper Canyon. Caution - it is hard to find so have the address handy!

Beautiful place to stay in Chihuahua with a great location and very charming rooms. Nice breakfast is served in a cozy living room and they have a nice patio. Unfortunately they forgot to pick us up from the airport... So no 5 star rating..
