About this property

Welcome to Hotel Posada Molino del Rey

Hotel Posada Molino del Rey occupies an 18th-century Colonial-style mansion featuring a simple, rustic charm with a central courtyard. The property includes a casual restaurant and bar, free Wi-Fi, and parking, although it does not offer a pool or fitness center. Its relaxed atmosphere and kid-friendly service make it suitable for travelers seeking straightforward accommodations in a historic setting.

Located at Calle Padre Belaunzarán y, Del Campanero No. 15 in Guanajuato, this hotel provides easy access to the lively city center, known for its winding alleys, the Teatro Juárez, and the funicular to Monumento al Pípila. Guests appreciate the proximity to popular attractions such as the Museum of the Mummies, Alhóndiga de Granaditas, and Monumento Al Pípila, all within convenient reach.

Guest reviews reflect a generally positive experience with emphasis on friendly staff and cleanliness, though some mention issues like noisy weekend nights and occasional water pressure problems. Rooms are described as basic and functional but on the smaller side. The lack of included breakfast and certain amenities is noted, suggesting the hotel is best suited for travelers prioritizing location and value over luxury.

The hotel is near several other accommodations and local dining options, including Habibti Falafel, a well-rated vegan restaurant nearby. The Guanajuato International Airport is about a 34-minute drive away, making arrivals and departures relatively straightforward for visitors.

Un lugar muy bonito para hospedarse, eso sí, para bañarse con agua caliente, debes de llamar a recepción y a lo mucho en 3 min. ya está lista el agua. Super cerca de la plaza de la paz y muy amables.

Lo único malo que ví, es el ruido excesivo en fin de semana, por los bares en mi habitación que daba hacia la calle, pedir habitación del lado interior, lo demás está bien, excelente trato del recepcionista de noche

Un lugar hermosos para hospedarse. Tiene un toque rústico y tiene una limpieza impecable. El servicio es muy bueno. Solo tuvimos problema con que la regadera estaba algo mal, la presión no era muy buena y el agua caliente tardaba... Fuera de eso todo está perfexto

Muy Céntrico de ahí te puedes desplazar a cualquier lado, buena atención por parte del personal. Sólo que las habitaciones están muy angostas, sentí que faltaba espacio. Y probablemente el precio podría considerarse alto, pues no hay Wi Fi, ni ofrecen desayuno incluído. Anoche los demás huéspedes estuvieron muy escandalosos. O bien unos platicaban en voz alta y otros llegaron 5:30 AM haciendo mucho ruido

It was perfect. Service was really good. People is funny and made me laugh too much. But they must have an elevator.

La atención de todos los que trabajan ahí es excelente muy amables, nos salvaron de una reservación pésima de otro hotel en pleno sábado es imposible para encontrar habitaciones en el centro y te dan cafesito en las mañanas, el único pero es que el hotel tiene sus detalles pero se compensa con el excelente trato y muy buena ubicación . Muchas gracias.
