  • Worth the Price For a hotel with this specific view and parking, the price is fair, though you are paying for the location rather than modern luxury.
  • Service Quality The service is old-school and polite. It moves a bit slow, in tune with the general laid-back atmosphere of this town.
  • Location Convenience Its location for visually feasting on the city is essentially the best observation deck in Taxco that you can sleep in.
  • Area & Access Picturesque. This hotel sits in the historic zone, right next to silver shops and the entrance to the mine.
  • Cleanliness Level Cleanliness is maintained to a good standard, though the age of the carpets and furniture can sometimes make it feel a bit dusty.
  • Breakfast The on-site restaurant offers solid Mexican cuisine with a "million-dollar view," making breakfast a highlight of the stay.
