Posada El Castillo xilitla

Great location. It was great to stay in part of the town history. My room was large and the bed was good. It is an older home with charm.

Gorgeous older hotel. Looked like a castle. It has a lot of stairs but worth it. Great history of the place. And the included breakfast is homemade was as great as restaurant food! Staff were very humble and helpful.

Staff were pleasant. The room was up very narrow, steep steps which was quite difficult to navigate, and we feel this could have been pointed out in advance. There was no hairdryer which would have been welcome. The fact there were hardly any other guests maybe caused the lack of atmosphere. We have since read that the hotel has a film about its history which is offered to guests to watch, but we were not offered this. There was vagueness about the availability of a restaurant for the evening so we ended up eating elsewhere;staff were however happy to recommend alternatives.

The building, its history, and the room itself are all remarkable, especially in tandem with a tour of Las Pozos.

The Castillo Magico! It’s like stepping into history. It was a privilege to meet and be hosted by the owner and her wonderful staff. We were lucky to stay in the bedroom of Edward James, very comfortable with stunning mountain views. The owner gave us a tour and explained the history of her grandfather’s house. There is a secret staircase that leads to a bar & restaurant next door, named after her grandfather. Breakfast was delicious, pastries, fruit and a cooked meal to order. The grounds are beautiful too. I’m only sorry we couldn’t stay longer.
