This place is very good. It somewhat has a Mexican colonial-like style, which give it beauty. The hotel is in front of the center of Cholula (Zócalo) and has a great view of the Zócalo at night and in the morning. This site is economic, becouse the rooms are cheap and great (e.g. The pictures below, a six persons space, two rooms for just MX$1200 or US$62.46), and it has space inside for parking. I would risk to say that it's a two stars hotel, becouse you can hear some noise from the outside and it's not exactly luxurious, but the place is worth your visit. You can do a regular reservation with money or you can just call the contact number for a "reservation without money" as well, I think it's not as sure as the regular one but it's another option. It fulfilled 110% of my expectations.

Muy buena opción para pasar una buena noche. Este es un hostal que cumple con su función, "permitir que el viajero descanse", no es un lugar lujoso pero es tranquilo y lindo. Los cuartos son reducidos pero bien mantenidos, camas cómodas, baños limpios, sin plagas, cuenta con Internet, televisión, agua caliente.

Las habitaciones son enormes, al menos en la que me quedé. Si pides habitación de 5 personas, estás están divididas por cuartos Es muy grande, tiene una sala Una mesa para comer No hay controles para la tv y los montados en la pared, al menos en mi habitación no servían Si tienes problemas para dormir quizá te cause problemas la ubicación es literalmente en el centro de Puebla por lo que habrá mucho ruido No hay teléfono para la recepción Estacionamiento incluído

En general muy bien, cumplidor. Por su ubicación fue nuestra opción más cómoda, la habitación que nos asignaron era muy espaciosa, limpia, algunos canales de la televisión no tenían audio pero en general muy bien. Tu habitación incluye estacionamiento que está a la vuelta de la esquina. Tienes que pedir toallas en la recepción para el baño. Si pudiera mejorar algo sería cambiar o mejorar las cobijas, el clima es frío y no son suficientes las que tiene la cama cuando entra la madrugada. También aumentaría la potencia de los calentadores de agua, nos bañamos con el grifo del agua caliente a todo y sin abrir el agua fría y no fue suficiente la temperatura del agua para poder tomar un baño cómodo.
