Hotel overview
Set within a colorful former artisan's cottage in San Pedro Tlaquepaque's Santa María quarter, this 3-star guesthouse offers a genuine local experience. The rustic building features thoughtfully decorated rooms reflecting traditional Mexican style, with most comforts suited for travelers seeking a laid-back stay. Travelers enjoy a tranquil, secluded garden — a quiet retreat from the lively nearby streets.
Guests begin each day with a free breakfast buffet featuring freshly prepared eggs, toast, and coffee. The property is pet- and kid-friendly, making it a good fit for families and animal lovers. While there’s no air conditioning or pool, and parking is off-site for a fee, the clean and comfortable accommodations with fast Wi-Fi meet practical needs well.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Lovely hotel with the best hosts. This is my favorite place to stay when I’m in the area. I don’t enjoy big cities and Tlaquepaque is small, quiet, and a safe area with local vibes. The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel at home. The rooms are very traditional but comfortable. This is a traditional experience and not a luxury spa. You can walk to any part of centro in a few minutes so no taxi or uber is needed.”
“Relaxing, quiet, comfortable, friendly, and great location. Four of us stayed three nights, occupying 3 rooms. All of us found the beds comfortable. Wifi is excellent. Hot water is plentiful - a reasonable wait if you’re first to use it in the morning. Zero issues with noise. The premises is clean and tastefully decorated. The included breakfast is excellent; eggs done how you prefer, toast, fruit, coffee. The included parking is two blocks away, a short walk, but very much appreciated as parking in Tlaquepaque is very limited. Cannot find more friendly, engaging, and helpful hosts. 100% recommend staying here. If we are fortunate to return to Tlaquepaque this is where we will stay - if available.”
“Such a nice family to stay with. They were very accommodating and I felt safe during my stay. They do have after hours where you have to text the host for entrance so if you don’t have a cell service this would be difficult. Comes with a great home made breakfast. One complaint would be the beds are super uncomfortable and no AC during summer. Would stay here again! Love the dog - Kira!”
“An oasis in the heart of Guadalajara! Quiet garden hotel and lovely staff at this family-run hotel. Just a few steps from a wide selection of restaurants and art galleries. I love it!”
