Casa del Rector Hotel Boutique

We reserved the Master Suite for 3 nights at Casa Del Rector (directly through the website) and were pleasantly surprised when we checked in and walked to our room. It turned out to be the Presidential Suite, offering a stunning view of the city, the pool, and the sky bar. With over 800 square feet of space, the room was incredibly spacious. The bathroom and shower were modern—very different from the hotels we stayed at in Querétaro and San Miguel de Allende. The staff assisted in carrying our suitcases up several flights of stairs (while also utilizing the elevator) to our room on the ninth floor. This would have been quite challenging for us prior to becoming acclimated to Guanajuato's high elevation of 6,500 feet. We had breakfast and lunch at the Las Vieyras restaurant, where the pastries were delicious and fresh, and the food was consistently tasty. Modern sculptures adorned the courtyard where the restaurant is located, adding to the charm of the space. Watching the sunset from the Bartola Sky Bar rooftop while enjoying some specialty beverages was a truly enjoyable experience. The accommodation and services were superb, making it the best of the three places we stayed during this trip. We were there during Holy Week, so there were a lot of street closures. When we needed to order a taxi, the staff called one for us and even walked down the block to get it. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the front desk staff spoke English very well. The hotel is centrally located in Zona Centro, just about a 5-minute walk to the Diego Rivera Museum, a 2-minute walk to the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Primer Depósito, and a 5-minute walk to Plaza de la Paz. We highly recommend Casa del Rector Hotel Boutique for your stay in Guanajuato.

We were very disappointed in our stay. We booked a junior suite (#4). It was across from the laundry area and to our left was a walkway to the kitchen and maintenance area. Above the laundry area was the restaurant that played music with a loud bass from 9:30 am until 10:30 pm. Apparently this was well known since ear plugs were furnished. The only window was in the door. The room was comfortable. The toiletries were nice. The pool area was nice.

Such a sophisticated and atmospheric place. Rooms and baths are spacious and decorated with elegant Mexican flair. So sophisticated and calming. Breakfast served in the garden was quite good and the staff all pleasant. Good location that is walking distance to the many neat sites while remaining a calm oasis. Definitely recommend and would love to return.

The hotel is located on the same side street where the "Universidad" steps are. Even, on the same side of the street. Having a beautiful setting, the hotel consists of several volumes or buildings which add to the architectural beauty of the place. The rooms have the expected amenities and are spacious. The hotel is built around a central patio with different buildings surrounding it. It's a colonial patio where you enjoy breakfast and dinner. There is a salt water pool seated on top of a terrace, which adds to the charm of this hotel. It has it's own bakery, which by the way, is really good. Because of the way it's built you get isolated from any outside noise so you can enjoy the most delightful rest.
