Hotels Near Casa Cristo in Guadalajara

Stayed here for one week in September 2020, in a Jacuzzi suite. We found the hotel to be a wonderful place to stay..... Location on a busy street was not a problem for noise. Short walk to Centro Historico, and a quick Uber to everywhere else we went. Room was large, clean and well appointed. Jacuzzi worked well. Cleaning staff were very nice. Due to COVID, the protocols were well explained and the hotel was efficient in handling people coming in and out. Front desk staff were friendly. The Bar/Restaurant was quiet, great service, food was not the greatest but it was not bad.... I give it a 6.5 to 7 All in all... highly recommend this hotel.... price is competitive with other places.

I recently stayed at Dali plaza and had a mixed experience. I booked a room with a city view online, but upon arrival, I was given a room without the promised view. It was disappointing to not get what I expected, especially on the first night. Fortunately, the hotel corrected the issue for the second night, and I finally got the room with the city view I had booked. While I appreciate the resolution, it would have been better if I had received the correct room from the start.

This pretentious hotel is all show, no go. Only in an alternate reality can this be a 4-star hotel! Yes, the facade is impressive, and the lobby with the working elevator are nice. But once you get to your double room, you realize it's a dark, and musty, cave-like space with no fresh air because the only window faces an inner courtyard that is covered. There is mold on the stucco ceiling (see the dark spots in the attached photo, sorry for the resolution). The bathroom is so cramped you cannot use the toilet with the way the garbage bin was placed by the careless cleaning staff (see attached photos). Speaking of the cleaning staff, I found a long, dark hair on the bed sheets (photo attached), definitely the wrong length and color to be mine. The worst issue I encountered beside the fact I felt like I was suffocating from the lack of fresh air, was that the shower wouldn't drain properly, and you'd end up standing in filthy water. There was very little toilet paper provided (less than half roll) and by the time I was out, it was too late and inconvenient to go down at reception and ask for more. While I was there, there were hardly any other guests in the hotel, so it was relatively quiet, but every small noise is amplified by the architectural design of having an inner courtyard covered (in Morocco, the same architecture has the inner courtyard uncovered, so the air and noise are not trapped). You could also hear the church bells, and traffic noises. The A/C works, but it's limited by central WiFi controls, and I froze during the January night I was there, with no blanket other than a polyesther bed spread. After only one night, I couldn't wait to get out of there! There is a central hostel that literally offers better amenities than this so-called 4-stars hotel (you can look for my reviews to find out which one). The best thing this hotel offers is luggage storage: it's safe, and they give you a ticket, so it's more secure. The staff was nice enough, especially Gloria at the reception desk, who is kind and helpful. IMPORTANT NOTE: The rating of this hotel here is skewed by the numerous 5-star reviews for the famous Cathedral ”Santiago de Compostela” in Spain, placed in the WRONG listing!

Very good hotel, it is a tall building in Guacheng, standing in front of the window, half of the city has a panoramic view, very close to the cathedral, downstairs is Wal-Mart, very convenient, stay here next time

I stayed at RIU Guadalajara for 4 nights in August 2022. I will stay there again on my next trip. My room was comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable and refreshed everyday by 'Helga'. Breakfast was included in my rate and it was well worth the money. I dined on the patio overlooking the city and enjoyed my morning coffee in the morning breeze. The buffet has everything you'd want for breakfast or brunch and the service is excellent. The waiters brought want you wanted without interrupting your meal. Highly recommended!

Travel in November 2019 in a family plan, rooms are spacious and clean, friendly staff but their only bad point is the location, the center area where you are located is nothing safe, It is about two squares from the catedral walking you get easily, but I recommend that if you go to the hotel walking during your stay, do it at good time, passing 9 pm is a lonely and unsafe place. The breakfast buffet is bad, it has no great variety of dishes, I think it can improve.

Good location but warning: The tile floors are very slippery especially when they slip. The rest of me fell and was badly injured enough to ask for a walker for the rest of our stay. There were 3 mobility on our trip - there were people who were challenged and they all said the same, so be careful. They don't have towels. Pillows don't stay on pillows. AC/heating was very difficult to work. There was a room safe but no one could open to keep my passport. They also changed the door–after the night of the street and half of the group had to take the new key after the day trip. Buffet breakfast was not very good but I did it because it was included in the room rate. As I said, the location is good but I would not recommend this place.

Overall not a bad hotel in a decent location. But there were 3 big things that made me lower my review 1. The wifi only worked in 1 corner of the room or in the hallway... not on the bed. 2. There was no mini fridge in the room. 3. It took (literally 5-10 mins) to get hot water in the shower when you run it. On the plus side, very nice omelette for breakfast and fairly quite room.

The hotel was new and modern. The rooftop garden was very nice. We could relax there and had a panoramic view of the city. Across the street and within walking distance we found a few restaurants. Breakfast was simple but okay: some sweet bread/pastry, eggs made to order, coffee/tea, juice was usually a fruit juice like orange, and a ”jugo verde” - basically a ”green juice” of vegetables and fruits. Also some cereals and yoghurts. The breakfast menu mentioned fresh fruits but on the first morning there wasn't any until we were just leaving. Nothing at all the second morning when we started breakfast later at 8am. The coffee on the second day was just warm so I had to ask for a new cup. Since we made the reservation through ***********, I had written a similar review at their website.

Hotel is in a prime location in the La Gourmeteria Center. Everything is within reach. High end, delicious, restaurants, bars, movie theatre. Super friendly staff. There's a donut shop right in front. Easy access to the main road or bus stop within a few blocks.
