This hotel is by no means the best resort I've ever stayed at, but for the price you pay your moola goes waaay far.

We paid about $50 dollars ($864 pesos) for two double beds for three of us. That got us an air conditioned room, an old but working TV, Free WiFi, Free Parking, and the whole Acapulco Bay just shy of a whole block away. 

You will also find many restaurants and bars nearby, but better yet (for the budget traveller) a Wal-Mart like two blocks away.  
There are also many street cart style vendors that will keep your stay very affordable in the famous Acapulco. 

Less than a block away from the beach and Wal-Mart 

El Hotelito... de poco madre
Roughly translates to The Little Hotel is Awesome -- or something like that... ya gotta be Mexican to fully get it I think.
Anyway, it is a great spot. Considering how chaotic Acapulco is, it is a small oasis. Sure there are others places to duck out of the crazy beach scene or the busy main drag, but probably not for the price. This place is right off the beach and equally short distance to dozens of eateries, Starbucks, bars, etc. It's also near the Walmart if you need anything from beer to sunscreen. Crossing the street is dangerous given the driving style, but the median has sidewalk passageways, so I guess you are encouraged to risk your life and jaywalk. We did.

El Hotelito allows no kids, has off-street gated parking and a very friendly and helpful staff. It offers beer and drinks at the Barecito and has a nice little pool (very little, but somehow big enough) 

The rooms upstairs might get a little hot from the blasting sun, but all rooms have AC and our room down on the first floor was very comfortable. No frills, and no fridge, but totally workable. Sure it could use some rehab here and there, and a look at some negative reviews makes me think they might have some substance. However, our experience was fully positive. Rooms upstairs do offer a view of sorts, but then again the property next store is a mess and a nearby hotel tower is under some kind of renovation or lack of care... My wife got a few mosquito bites. Small issues... Welcome to Mexico. 

The street appeared extra safe as there was a parking lot for the Federal Police about 100 meters toward the main road, and thus lots of cops at various moments.

The beach is so close that trips back to the hotel room are no problem. Beach umbrellas with a table and chairs are something like 50 pesos, and even on the weekend it wasn't too terribly crazy on the beach. The beach there gets a bit trashed as garbage cans didn't exist and culturally it's different to say the least. It does get cleaned up at night, but don't expect a litter-free experience. 

All in all El Hotelito was great, and a real support system to the adventure that is Acapulco.

Clean, Comfortable, Affordable, Friendly, Peaceful

Small cozy hotel far from center but close to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and bars around. No mosquito nets so can't leave windows open, that's a minus. Quiet rooms. Much nicer upstairs with balconies.

Small hotel near beach and entertainment

I stayed at this hotel 2 years ago and it was "Excellent",  but on my latest stay I noticed the lack of maintenance.

First I was assigned a room that was flooded and had no light, then reassigned to another one in which the shower was not working properly and finally the one I sayed at was clean but there was some mold growing by the shower the sink was loose, the curtains looked old and not tidy.

Don't get me wrong, it is still a fair place to stay for the price buy it is not what it used to be. For an overnight stay would be ok but maybe not for a whole vacation.

It has seen better days

We had planned to stay in Acapulco for five days of our two week trip to Mexico. We had booked at El Hotelito based on the reviews available on this site. When we arrived at the hotel at around 2pm, our room wasn't ready. We waited for about an hour in the lobby for our room. To their credit, they offered us a complimentary beverage while we were waiting. When we got to our room, we were quite disappointed. First of all, the Hotelito does not have an elevator and we were on the third floor. It wasn't a problem just a bit of a pain when you forgot something in the room. Second of all, El Hotelito is not a modern hotel, it's an old Acapulco joint that's been revamped wth a bit of white paint. The room itself was relatively clean. The rest of the hotel, not so much. The cushions on the chairs next to the pool were stained and so were the curtains in the room. It all felt a bit old and dingy. The location however is good. Close to the beach and restaurants. The staff is friendly but very young and somewhat inexperienced. If you are 20 and want a cheap place to go party, this might be for you but it wasn't for us. After two nights, we decided to leave and go back to Mexico D.F. sooner than planned. It took many many weeks and many emails to get our money back, but we managed to get refunded for two night.
