Villa Santa Mónica

This hotel is a gem! I am so glad we decided to stay here for our couples trip. The property is just beautiful, dreamy, and well kept. They even have several peacocks that roam around the hotel and would visit us in the morning on our terrace. The entire staff is incredible and felt like family. When we left, I was very sad to leave them behind. They are courteous, hospitable, accommodating, fun, and kind. The location of the property is great. It’s quiet, across from a beautiful park, and an easy walk or drive to most places. The breakfast and drinks were delicious. We had a in room couples massage and it was perfection. There were some plumbing issues but they were quickly resolved. I highly recommend this wonderful place!

This is one of the most amazing places to stay. The rooms and grounds are beautiful. It must have been a hacienda when it was built hundreds of years ago. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The grounds are very well manicured and a person could spend lots of time just relaxing and enjoying the view.

This property is very beautiful outside areas. It’s very historic and colonial. Nice walk to the park across the street. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Who gave this hotel a 4 star rating? Its barely a 3 star. Our $600 room had no wifi and no tv and, most importantly, no heating. Winter temperatures are in the low 50's during the day and low 40's at night, so a plug in heater doesn’t cut it. We were upgraded to a $800 room which had a tv. Restaurant is okay, but doesn’t do dinner. All tables are in the shade, so you need a coat on at all times, as do the waiters. The bar is depressing and always empty. The pool is a joke: a bird bath, again in total shade, and not heated, so noone goes near it. Only nice thing is the peacocks roaming the pool area. Some rooms have fireplaces, but they don't provide anything to light the wood with, so if you want a fire you have to pay someone to light it. Good location, next to a park and fairly close to the town's main square. The less said about the bathrooms the better. Probably built in the 1960's, when Dolores del Rio apparently stayed here. While the staff is generally helpful, the owners of this property obviously don't care about their customers' comfort.

Everything about this place felt luxurious. The staff was incrediblyyyyy helpful, the grounds were breathtaking. If you're looking at other hotels and want the best, this is it. We lounged on our terrace and at the pool and it was in the perfect location. Felt like a dream.

5 stars ⭐️ for everything. Everyone was so friendly, the property so beautiful, very clean. Very old world. The grounds are stunning. The food was great. The location is amazing. Would stay again.

You can’t find a more beautifully curated place. From the architecture to all of the decorative items so carefully selected and then of course the colorful birds sprinkled throughout just brought this place to life. It feels like you’re in a private oasis right in the middle of the city and the staff is just right amount attentive without being pushy.

This was just the most delightful place to stay. It's run with people that have hearts of gold. We had an amazing time. The courtyard is absolutely delightful. The peacocks are wonderful. The people are amazing. The food was great.

Muy bonita hacienda , solo no tiene televisión , está muy cerca caminando del centro y tiene estacionamiento

Lovely grounds

Villa Santa Monica is impressive, the building, gardens are beautiful. We even had our private patio. Everything is clean and peaceful The location is excellent, just a few minutes from downtown You want to stay in a historic hotel this is it. Thanks to Lariza and the whole hotel’s team, you are the best.

Our stay was wonderful! The front desk supported us in ordering taxis, and giving us information. They always had a smile for us. The restaurant staff were kind and thoughtful, including bringing us coffee to our rooms in the early morning. The food was excellent! The rooms were kept very clean and tidy. The property is very beautiful and aesthetically appealing with its central courtyard and fountain. The gardens are lush and well maintained, and offer a haven from the busy outside world. This property is a hidden gem right in the center of San Miguel de Allende!

The building is designed in the form of a Spanish 1700s era stucco hacienda with an inner courtyard which is very pleasing. The hotel room was spacious, however, there is no TV and the bathroom is small and needs fixture upgrades. There was only one handtowel provided for 2 people. The bedroom furnishings are old and quaint. There was only one chair in the room. The gas fireplace could be dangerous for a gas appliance inexperienced person when lighting the pilot light. The bathroom cabinet is old and the sink countertop space is limited. Wi-Fi was just OK. The landscaping around the property is quite pleasing and well maintained. One has to be careful walking on the walks, as there are places where there are unmarked steps. They have several budgies in cages distributed around the premises which is a nice touch.

Clean room. Very spacious and elegantly appointed. I must say that Lulu and the whole staff were fantastic.

Property is spotless, they definitely take pride in their establishment and always help out. Excellent breakfast.

El personal es muy amable. Le falta un poco de mantenimiento a los baños. Jardines muy lindos y un ambiente muy relajado

Beautiful clean room and peaceful and serene surroundings with helpful staff. We really enjoyed our breakfasts/lunch there each day and location was perfect opposite the beautiful park!

Clean and convenient. I do think is overpriced.

Está precioso el lugar! Muy buen servicio. Pequeños detalles de mantenimiento en una habitación.

Super charming! The most romantic room ever, with your own fountain and courtyard. Amazing architecture! The best staff!

Remodelar los baños y poner tv

The hotel is beautiful,very well maintained, with a lovely garden. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have a romantic atmosphere. The staff was kind and attentive throughout our stay. Unfortunately, after we left, we received a call from the front desk asking whether we had taken the bathrobes from the room. I was surprised, as there were no bathrobes in our room during our stay. I explained this to the person who called and mentioned that the same staff member who had walked us to our room upon arrival and helped us with our departure had shown us everything in the room, and there were definitely no robes. I asked her to look into the matter and clarify it. However, we never heard back. We followed up with another call to request confirmation that the issue had been resolved. The front desk staff said that she was not aware of this issue, but promised to investigate and call us back. Unfortunately, that follow-up never came either. This incident left us with a very uncomfortable impression. It seems the hotel does not have a reliable system for tracking what is present in each room. We stayed two nights, and our room was cleaned once, an ideal opportunity for staff to notice there were no bathrobes, which could have prevented this misunderstanding entirely. Instead of receiving an apology for their error, we were left with silence and no confirmation that the matter had been cleared. Being indirectly accused of taking hotel property was deeply disappointing.

Everything about this property and our stay was great. Just something to note for those who may have bad knees there’s steep steps in rooms to be cautious of otherwise everything and everyone is super awesome!

El hotel es una antigua hacienda absolutamente increible. El unico tema es que no tiene aire acondicionado

Las habitaciones muy frias

Muy bonita hacienda , solo no tiene televisión , está muy cerca caminando del centro y tiene estacionamiento

me gusto la belleza del lugar. las habitaciones excelentes y el lugar cuenta con una ubicacion privilegiada. Lo que no me gusto fue la falta de atencion y servicio al cliente por parte de la gerencia del Hotel. No se busca solucionar los problemas que surgen sino que simplemente los ignoran. Bere en recepcion y el personal de restaurante, extraordinarios pero todo se opaca cuando la gerente del hotel carece totalmente de un sentido de atencion al cliente. No regresaremos

The best customer service! Berenice and Lulu were amazing! Berenice went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable! I highly recommend this hotel!

The location is perfect and the hotel is beautiful, but what makes this hotel special is the staff, they are friendly and knowledgeable, if you need a reservation ask for Lulu, she got the best recommendations for dinner and breakfast.

Wonderful staff! Yummy food. Excellent location.

Excellent stay and friendly staff.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff goes out of the way to serve you and make you feel like the most important guest they have. Lulu and Jotaluz are the best!

We had a wonderful stay with our family during the Christmas break. The staff are absolutely wonderful and Jorge, the General Manager is extremely helpful and so attentive. They organized a delicious 4 course meal for our family of 12 on Christmas Eve and even had some special activities for our kids and a complimentary birthday cake for my son. Property is beautiful and well maintained. We cannot wait to visit again.

El hotel es muy tranquilo, en una zona privilegiada de SMA, lejos del ruido, pero cerca de todo.

Really beautiful place to stay at. Easy to get to and close to the center of the city. Only about a 10-15 minute walk to the center.

We couldn’t have picked a better hotel than Villa Santa Monica with its location, services, staffs, comfort, its charms and price point. Minutes away from the centro, famous Rosewood Hotel, and the main drag yet tugged away in its own quiet oasis next to a beautiful park. Surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. It was our first trip to San Miguel del Allende and had the best experience. Will definitely stay there again next time. Highly recommended.

Santa Monica is a beautiful property. We have traveled several times to SMA and this has been our favorite place to stay. You can walk to restaurants, shops, the plaza, the catedral, and other points of interest. All the rooms are unique and beautiful. Just be aware that there is no AC. We were fine with having our windows opened (reminded me to our travels to some places in Europe), but it might get warm in the summer. The restaurant offers a really good breakfast/brunch. For lunch and dinner we opted to go to some of the many restaurants in town. SMA has an amazing gastronomy. Our favorite part of this place were the gardens, many trees, flowers, and peacocks!!

This was such a gem. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. It is just far enough from the downtown core to feel like you're in a secluded paradise.

Great property. Better that you can see on pictures. 15 min waking from the major attractions.

Beautiful clean room and peaceful and serene surroundings with helpful staff. We really enjoyed our breakfasts/lunch there each day and location was perfect opposite the beautiful park!

Lovely environment and wonderful staff helpful with all things...great location...beautiful room...

It was a historic property and within walking distance of most areas of interest.

The property is so romantic and great for pictures. It’s got a Victorian Spanish vibe. The staff were so nice and best part was ordering taxi service through them. Food was absolutely delicious.

El mejor hotel de todo SMA. por su escala, su ubicación, y su servicio. Lo único que no cuadra con todo lo maravilloso del hotel, es el desayuno tanto continental (incluido en la tarifa), con el del menú. Si mejoraran ese aspecto, el lugar se volvería ideal.

The staff and bartender were very friendly and made great cocktails. We loved our room Dona Dolores
