What guests think

At La Casona de Don Lucas, guests repeatedly praise the unbeatable central location and friendly staff, plus spacious rooms, often with balconies or views, while noting trade-offs like street noise at night and the inconvenience of off-site parking.

Breakfast is generally considered good and varied, though several reviews mention waits for a table and, at times, food that is cool or service that feels inconsistent. Room experiences vary: many are large and comfortable, but some lack exterior windows or have weak air conditioning, spotty Wi‑Fi or TV, limited water pressure, or dated features. Cleanliness is widely praised, with a few reports of odors or dirty carpets and occasional housekeeping lapses. Expect a historic, central stay that prioritizes location and charm over modern quiet or seamless conveniences.

This hotel is centrally located in the heart of Guanajuato city. Most of the tourist attractions were within walking distance and if they weren’t, it was easy to get a taxi. We really enjoyed the architectural charm of the entire establishment. They offer a continental/Mexican breakfast from 8 to 12 which was great to have as an option. A tip that would have been good to know prior to arrival is that you can pull up to the hotel if you see a gap in the metal/chain fence outside and upon arrival will be given options for parking. Unfortunately, we did not know that, and when I called the hotel that was not communicated to me properly so we parked our car at a parking garage and then got a taxi so it was a bit inconvenient. With that information, I feel like it would’ve been a flawless stay. Overall, I would highly recommend.

The property location was perfect for us. We truly experienced the area vide and took advantage of what it had to offer. My only real issue was the parking. Never have I had to park such a distance away and pay a daily rate for open lot parking. It wasn't a game changer but you wanna be sure to not leave anything you may need....jajajaja. I enjoyed everything very much and hope to visit again in the future. Wonderful hotel!

The hotel is located in the center area, which is walkable to all landmarks. Our room was too close to the front door and we can still hear the music after 10pm at night. It can get very noisy quite early in the morning. The carpet in our room is super dirty. The bedding and towels are okay.

We were placed in room 15 which is the only room downstairs. There is a horrible sewer smell before you enter the room. The room itself didn't smell too bad, but the lobby prior to entering the room did. We had to cover our nose every time we left or came back. Location was great since it was within walking distance to most downtown areas.

Pros: The hotel is very convenient to walk to the major attractions. All members of the staff were very friendly, from Angel and Judith at the front desk to the personnel at breakfast. The hotel offers complimentary use of umbrellas if it's raining - a nice amenity that isn't advertised. Hot water available in the shower and strong water pressure, too. The breakfast was tasty and offered various options. Cons: The only three real cons for me: 1. the wifi signal wasn't that strong in the room. I understand the hotel is in an old property and modifications are limited. However, wifi repeaters might help. 2. without a strong wifi signal, I decided to watch tv. However, the two signal was not working the first night. the second night it was only partially available. I reported the issue to the desk and never really received resolution. 3. The door handle on the door to the small balcony needs to be adjusted (I was in room 14).

Property, location, and service was excellent. Breakfast was OK. Great location but it will be loud in the evening as you are in the center of town. I took Uber in from San Miguel de Allende and didn’t realize it was banned in Guanajuato so I couldn’t get Uber out. Hotel ride service was horrible. They keep delaying and increasing the price and adding service fees! They were 3x the price of Uber and price is fixed across all companies - taxi, rideshare, hotel service, etc (which would have been good to know in advance)! I ended my stay waiting to come back, then after the taxi fiasco I just couldn’t wait to get out of Guanajuato trap. I doubt I will ever return.

La Casona de Don Lucas is a historical building, having been built in the late 1700’s. It’s beautiful, but be aware there is no elevator. The staff is very happy to assist with luggage. We were in room number 1, at the top of the stairs. It offers no view of the city, but is a very quiet room. It is spacious with two comfortable queen beds. It has a refrigerator, microwave & coffee pot. There is ample storage room and a safe. The large shower has lots of hot water. The hotel is located a few steps from the cathedral, centrally located to all historic sights & many fabulous restaurants. The staff was very helpful with directions, and arranged a fabulous walking tour of the city. Breakfast was included with the room. It’s buffet style, mostly Mexican fare. The coffee was generously served. We enjoyed our stay while we explored the beautiful city Guanajuato.
