El Zaguán Colonial by GuruHotel

The rooms and pool area are pretty and the staff are SUPER nice. However, I wouldn't stay here again for a couple of reasons. Though the hotel is on a main road into the city, it's a long, hot, dusty walk to get to anywhere of interest. Almost every hotel and restaurant is close to the main square or on the other side of it. OK if you are driving, and of course there are plenty of taxis, but with so many more convenient places, I would pick one of them another time. The distance from town was particularly annoying as I found the hotel food ranged from just OK to pretty bad. You should also be aware that from any of the rooms, you will hear loud music from the restaurant all evening (til after 10.30) and sometimes from when breakfast starts too. I got little sleep and ended up with a migraine, missing a whole day of excursions, after an evening of pounding EDM.

Attractive, modern room - large comfortable bed, but not well maintained. Loose light switches, burned out bulbs and over-priced minibar. Pool could have been cleaner. In a residential area a ways from downtown. Not great value for money.

Beautiful hotel.

Lovely little hotel slightly outside of city center. Each room has balcony-window and they are all in first floor with pool access. It was relaxing to sit by the pool. Room was clean. No hot water. A bit noicy at least on Friday night. I think there is a bar close by. Parking is convenient.

We totally enjoyed our overnight stay in Valladolid. The hotel ambience was lovely, and we especially appreciated the beauty of the colonial-style balconies off of the rooms overlooking the pool, with their exquisite hardwood French doors, and wrought iron railings. The room was clean, spacious, and filled with the expected accommodations as well as a few unexpected, such as the mini fridge, and beautifully wrapped hand soaps. The shower stall was a large and modernly stylish floor to ceiling tile design. A short walk down the street and across the road, we enjoyed a dinner of tacos and quesadillas that were homemade delicious and less than 10 pesos each. Short drive from Valladolid’s central plaza.

Beds are quite hard. Plumbing also needs attention.
