Hotel Encino Malecón Centro Puerto Vallarta

Na

Close to malecon

no room safe , no coffee maker had to walk down the hall for tepid water , desk was like a bank sliding tiny hole , door to room i unlocked with a paper clip,that was reassuring ! tiny bathroom not even a place to hang towels much less a toilet paper dispenser, overall place needs full remodel will never ever stay again also my balcony that i paid extra for was just a look at the mercado

Professional and very polite staff definitely room is on the outdated side but worth the cost and very convenient to get around downtown old pv

This place isnt brand new but its nice. Would be nicer if they had a refrigerator and were more open to letting guest come in.

Not a luxury hotel only the basics. Friendly clean and whats best....close to everything downtown vallarra. One tini block to el Malecon.

Our second time staying here. Great location! Pillows little flat but overall amazing place. I will stay here again

Amazing location and great hotel for the price. Restaurant on the terrace is a great place to wind down with cocktails and a sunset. The pool is amazing as well. Overall it's a terrific option. All of the best places to hangout are within walking distance

The rooms are old and dated , the door leading to our tiny balcony is rotted and had large gaps , allowing the outside noise in.
The toilet paper holder did not have a roller
The elevator was out of order,
They require a room deposit when you check in, I used my credit card , but they didn’t want to credit the card back , they wanted to return it in pesos which is a different exchange rate. Very unfriendly staff except our cleaning lady.
Great location, but hotel needs major upgrades.

Convenient location, close to el malecón and shopping, close to public transportation.

Convenient location, great price, an older building, however well kept, clean, restaurant on building is good, happy hour has great prices.

Stayed one night. Very basic accommodations and a good value for the price. Free coffee in the morning. Nice pool. Comfy bed.Easy walk to the malecon, cuáles, beach, dining, shopping. Would stay again!

Fantastic location. This is a no frills, old hotel but clean throughout. The rooftop lounge area is nice, with a small pool and restaurant. I went solo and felt safe there. The beds are very old and not very comfy... but not the worst bed I've slept in there. I brought my own blanket after reading some reviews and I'm glad I did. The only real negative for me was the door lock as there was only a knob lock. This really needs to be addressed by the hotel, just as simple as putting a chain back on! I put a chair at the door under the knob to remedy for myself. I'd stay again.

The hotel was being remodeled. All the doors to the rooms were being replaced. Sadly, we had a scary incident!! A drunken guest was able to open our room door. The doorknob was loose, but thankfully we had the security lock. We yelled at them and scared them away. They were literally above us. We called security immediately, no one but the guest above us had came in. We felt comfortable enough to stay in the room. They were able to change the lock on the third night. Since we had excursions, all day.

I am far from picky, and I generally love the smaller Mexico boutique hotels even with all their cracked tiles and imperfections, like real Mexico. However, my room was disgusting. Toilet base leaked and had a lovely sewage odor. The closet had such a foul odor, no way I’d put anything in it, and above it on the trim had illegal drugs left on it. The floor was dirtier than if I just walked outside barefoot. Sink spout was too short water ran over the counter on to the floor. Paper thin doors no deadbolt. No blanket and only two super flat pillows on the bed, had to leave the AC on to alleviate the moisture and funk in the room, so we froze all night. So yeah, I’m requesting a refund through Expedia and I expect Expedia to honor their guarantee, regardless if the hotel refunds or not. Fair warning to anyone looking to book here. If you’re the hotel and reading this, you should be ashamed of your performance. Do better!! Don’t respond to this with standard, we strive to do better BLA, BLA, BLA. I know you won’t! Just give me my refund and I won’t repost this on all the travel forums!

Location was great, between El Centro and Zona Romantica; but the hotel was SO noisy. Traffic, voices from the street and a bar/restaurant on the floor above mine (I was in 304). Staff were not courteous, I had to convince them to give me a pool towel; they wanted me to come back down when I was ready to swim. You are handed the tv & a/c remotes only after you pay their deposit, not until then! No blanket & not even a little thing of hair conditioner. No hand towel and nowhere to put it even if there was! I get the “get what you pay for” scenario, but this was really really basic.

Rustic. Good location. Simple. Clean. Wi-Fi is horrible. Only in lobby can you get signal. They say they are working on… said that my last 3 visits as well. If they can figure that out and get more rooms without twin beds… they’re golden!

I stayed here before and it wasn't bad, which is why I returned. This time there were a few things that were annoying immediately. One of the bathroom lights were out, the tv was zoomed in and couldn't be fixed (every channel), and there was a weird window hole with doors from the room into the hallway. I complained about the tv and light and someone came but couldnt fix it. When I showered water leaked all the way into the hallway because the shower door wasnt sealed properly. So after that I had to make sure there was a big towel on the ground. Only 1 roll of toilet paper, I think any hotel should always provide 2 in the room. Also when I stayed here a month ago there was no bracelets and now they had annoying bracelets. Just a lot of things bothered me this stay.

Rooftop was great

Not a new or stylish Hotel, I don't understand some of the bad reviews on here complaining over how old the Hotel is. Not when you're paying so little in a perfect location and not to mention that the pictures and description is clear on this website. It's comfortable, nice staff, good rooftop swimming pool and nice little restaurant/bar next to the pool. I recommend it if you're on a budget
