Hotel Casa del Refugio

I am completely appalled by Casa del Refugio and I would discourage anyone from even considering staying here. I have traveled to over 70 countries in the world and have been an avid world traveler for over 30 years. And this has been my WORST experience with a hotel EVER. I traveled here with my husband and 2 small kids in February. The place has no heat. So we had to sleep with our full parkas and hats on and we were STILL freezing. It was also extremely noisy since there's no real insulation... and the noise from the street was extreme through the night including street vendors and dogs barking at all hours. We barely slept. So instead of staying 2 nights, we were running for the door after one night. And then.. the hotel somehow charged us over US$3000 for that one night we stayed there. I think it was originally an unintentional error. Instead of charging us in pesos, they put in the same figure in dollars. Except that the exchange rate was around 19 pesos per dollar. So instead of being charged around US$170, they charged us thousands of dollars. I've been working for MONTHS with Bookings.com and also direclty with the hotel to try to get a refund. I've spoken with management at the hotel who were apologetic and said they would refund our money right away. But they have still not issued a refund and it's been about 8 months. Bookings.com has contacted them multiple times as well, and they have told them they would issue a refund. But they haven't done it. It seems they just want to steal our money. It's deeply distressing. I would do whatever you can to AVOID staying at all costs and let others know as well.

Very cold room, one light switch so to get up in the night you turned on 2 large overhead lights which wakes up the other person, or else stumble to the bathroom. Freezing noisy room. Breakfast service terrible, servers wore winter coats with hoods. Restaurant and bar say closed at 8 but when I asked for service at 10 to 8, I was refused.

Excelente lugar para descansar, el restaurante muy y rico y lo principal la atención te hace sentir en casa habitaciónes amplias y el valet parking un poco complicado pero de mucha utilidad en semana Santa

Hermosísimo hotel, con increíbles espacios decorados con artesanías locales y pinturas religiosas del SXVI y XVII, las suites amplias y limpias. Excelente ubicación aunque se batalla un poco para estacionar el coche y hacer el check-in, pero te ayudan a llevárselo al estacionamiento con el valet parking

De mis hoteles favoritos para hospedarse es sin duda, éste, Hotel El Refugio, su arquitectura colonial te transporta a otra época, me gusta la ubicación, limpieza y amabilidad del personal. Además la junior suite que es la preferida, tiene dos balcones en la esquina teniendo con vista a una de las plazas principales, la Gertrudis Bocanegra.
