This place is badly in need of repairs. Our room walls were peeling paint and it reeked of dampness. The bed, bedding, and all furniture was super old including the box TV (90s?).The humidity smell was bad and our room had no window to open. Bathroom entirely was in bad shape and barely had water come out of shower along with counter with sink was broken and dirty. The room we got should have never been rented out. Also the place is haunted. Had a horrible night. Got there late and stayed a few hours only but almost left 10 min in. Decided to stay only because of how late it was. They should just turn it into a museum. Place looks magical from the outside don’t fall for it. Just visit during the day.

I booked 2 nights, I left a night early. The castle was something I was looking forward to but it was a complete disappointment. The room layout was great, the outside property for photos was nice. The room itself was not clean, dusty and only one toilet worked. Saw some dead cockroaches. I traveled far so I was tired to leave at the moment. When it was bedtime both bed covers were covered in blood stains. At the point I couldn’t stay there. I left without even bothering with the front desk. I was so upset. Bathroom drain cover, tiles are all falling apart. The couches and chairs are all extremely dirty. If you want the photos of the castle visit during the day no need to stay. I learned my lesson you get what you paid for.

La arquitectura del castillo es hermosa, los jardines cuidados, la capilla bonita, alberca muy sucia... el agua se ve muy turbia, la habitación sucia, los cortineros están colgados...en mal estado, los mosquiteros rotos, los muebles sucios...deteriorados, el baño con moho le hace falta una limpieza profunda, el agua de la regadera no está caliente, las toallas "blancas" ya son grises, el aire acondicionado no enfría nada, el personal de recepción muy groseo... pésima atención y actitud...eso sí el colchón es cómodo al igual que las almohadas...es una lastima que no le inviertan, de verdad es un castillo medieval fantástico... pero sólo para la foto...y para las fotos de las quinceañeras.

Como experiencia fue buena. Sin embargo considero que está muy descuidado y tiene mucho potencial para ser un gran hotel en un destino turístico como lo es Guanajuato. Creo que se debe invertir en mejores instalaciones, mantenimiento y cuidado de las áreas públicas. Las habitaciones son espaciosas pero los muebles y el aspecto denota descuido y puede parecer sucio. Se ve por todos lados cables, sillas viejas y sucias, tablas tapando huecos en los pasillos, el área de alberca se ve desangelada. En fin hay que hacer mucho para considerarlo un hotel 5 estrellas. No creo que volvería ni recomendaría para quedarse, sólo para verlo.

El hotel en si, vale la pena visitarlo y recorrerlo. Muy amplio, buen espacio de estacionamiento, capilla y alberca bien, detalles en todo el Hotel. La habitación es lo que deja mucho a desear. Antes de reservar leí las reseñas de otros huespedes y coincidian en algunos de estos puntos. Puntos a mejorar: - La habitación que nos dieron tenía el drenaje del lavabo tapado y cada que uno se lavaba las manos se quedaba estancada el agua y olia muy desagradable (lo malo es que se expandía a toda la habitación). Afortunadamente fueron a revisarla, a destaparla y cambiar un caño, pero de todo eso se debió dar cuenta y reportarlo, en su momento, la camarera, evitando la molestia al huesped y no fue así. - Las sábanas NO estaban limpias, en ellas había cabellos y mugre. (Afortunadamente llevaba mis juegos de sábana propios y sobre esos dormimos) - La limpieza del cuarto no es la más óptima, las toallas sucias y polvo en los muebles. - La atención del personal en general es buena, atenta y amables.

Las instalaciones en general y exteriores son hermosas, el mismo hotel es un atractivo del lugar por su extención y enfoque medieval, pero las instalaciones interiores de la habitación se encuentran con cierto deterioro y falta de mantenimiento, no confundir estilo antigüo con otra cosa. La habitación estaba limpia y el personal fue atento y resolvió situaciones presentadas con rapidez. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para familias y a pesar de dichos detalles, disfruté mucho la estancia y me hubiera gustado que fuera por mas tiempo. Definitivamente volveré a hospedarme en ese lugar en mi próximo viaje.
