An elegant, contemporary boutique hotel boasting breathtaking vistas of the historic city of Guanajuato
Pros:

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.

Pros:

This was my second stay at this hotel and the experience was exceptional again! Friendly staff, VERY quiet, delicious food at the restaurant and cafe, immaculate grounds, and walkable.

Valet parking was convenient, quick, and effortless.

My only complaint was that we were not made aware that the pool would be closed for maintenance on our second day until the morning of. We were looking forward to spending time at the pool/rooftop, so if we had known on our first day that it was going to be closed, we would have planned accordingly on our first day.

Pros:

Great views, especially from the bar areas. Clean and comfortable.
A lot of stairs. A little dark in our room.
Wish the bathroom in our room was a little more private and not right next to the bedroom area.

Pros:

Unique property with 12 spacious rooms excellently restored and appointed. Rooms have robes, slippers, coffee, tea and bottled water. Be careful with some of the rooms with uneven floors and small steps. Plenty of hot water, however, the Internet is weak (25-39 Mbps) especially in hallways. Pool and roof top bar areas present a wonderful view of the city. Restaurant charming, yet pricey. Many stairs, although the elevator helps out for the upper rooms, pool and roof top bar. Location is close to the action, yet a street away from the noise. One negative is that hotel does not have parking so if you have a car it has to be parked at a distant lot.

Best hotel of my Mexico City trip!
Pros:

I really like the hotel's design; it's unique, with a European style and aesthetic stone features. It looks much better than the pictures on TripAdvisor. Additionally, the room didn't feel old at all. It was very spacious and comfortable. The pool and bar offer a fantastic view, where you can see both the sunset and sunrise over the entire city. The food is good, and the service is excellent. I would love to spend the whole day at the hotel! We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Would not stay again
Pros:

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.

Romantic, cute hotel to spent a lovely time in Guanajuato
Pros:

What a lovely cute hotel with a lot of ambiance. It is super close and convenient to the center. The rooms are nice, the pool was warm, the view from the bar is wonderful. Not cheap but wort the $$$$$. Reserve a master suit as the junior suit don’t have windows. Service that a few reviewers were complaining about was very good, so no complaints. Will be back

Unique luxury spot right in downtown
Pros:

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.

Master Suite
Pros:

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.

Too expensive and lacks service.
Pros:

nice property. the stairs at this place are no joke at the high altitude. The service was lacking. This is not a cheap place. The guy at the door did not help my girlfriend with luggage. Just not what I expected. Stayed a block away at an other place also. Way much better service. Upstairs was not ready either. needed some work.

Overall wonderful experience, the hotel is truly the best in the city. Massive highlight was the pool and rooftop bar, all of the cocktails were delicious and well crafted. The lobby coffee counter had some of the best pastries and espresso I’ve had in Mexico. Can’t wait to return
