Excellent hotel, dishonest cleaners
The hotel was well located, clean, and had excellent wifi. Great service as well. However, I had 3000 pesos cash stolen from my room during my stay, presumably by cleaning staff.

The place has an amazing location but the internet was horrible, we have to go outside of the room to catch signal and the aspect of the washroom was not the best.

Great value
Great value and location. I upgraded to a double room on the second floor at the back, previously a single by reception. My upgraded room was very quiet, even if the walls were a bit thin. Super friendly staff. I'd definitely stay again. No plastic bottles but a water refill which was excellent.

Faltan ventiladores en los cuartos. El calor estaba fuerte. Hay mucho ruido de un extractor de una propiedad contigua que empieza a las 9 am y termina a las 6 pm . Las escaleras son muy pesadas para subirlas . Entra el sol muy fuerte por la puerta y esta no tiene cortina .

Realmente pasamos una maravillosa estancia en "El Descanso" con la familia. Habitaciones cómodas, muy céntrica para conocer la capital del Puebla de la manera más sencilla. El costo muy accesible, los cuartos nada ostentosos pero muy cómodos para descansar, el baño con agua caliente y muy limpio todos los días. Solo tomen en cuenta que como es un edificio antiguo no tiene elevador (ningún problema para nosotros). Claro que consideraría pernoctar de nuevo en este hotel. Una amabilidad excelente por parte de los responsables del hotel, de inicio el vuelo se retrasó y llegamos cerca de la medianoche al hotel, nos esperaron pacientemente y nos brindaron información para obtener alimentos a esa hora. ¡Recomendado!!!
