This hotel was a mix of good and bad.  The common areas are super interesting with lots of folk art.  The rooms are big, but there was no hot water (and little water pressure).  The pool was very dirty--it would have been nice to be able to jump in or at least stick my feet in the water as el Fuerte gets very very hot.

mixed bag

This is a beautiful hotel with so much to offer. The pros are that it is beautiful and so much of the historic culture of Mexico is wrapped up and culture of the area. It is centrally located to downtown and everything you want to see. There are nice restaurants within five minutes. Walking distance   The cons is that no one in our group were able to get cool. The cooling unit in every room of our group was not sufficient to cool the rooms. It never got below 82. If you are able to sleep when it’s hot, you will have no issues.

Such a beautiful hotel

Pros:

Rooms big and comfortable 

Courtyard is gorgeous (attached)

Pool area nice and relaxing (dubious cleanliness but it was 36 degrees c)

Staff generally helpful (if you can locate them) - the new owner of the restaurant, Diego (I think), was very kind and informative 

Location is right next to the main square and less than a minute from the museum and malecon etc

The much more expensive hotel located 30s away organised tours and does the Zorro show so you can just go there to sort out activities. They also allow use of their bigger pool as long as you buy something

Aircon works and is essential 

Cons:

The first room we were given had a ceiling that leaked water onto the socket my charger was plugged into as well as the bathroom leaking (this was during a rainstorm in the afternoon while we were napping)

Rooms inconsistent as everything is so old so in our first room the fan didn’t work but in our second the lamp was missing - we much preferred room 2 to the initial one we had

Generally very dark inside and windows covered and unreachable so there is no natural light in rooms

Breakfast is absolutely awful, my girlfriend loves chilequiles and described them as the worst she has had in 2 years of living in Mexico. The eggs and coffee both cold and flavourless 

Hotel does not provide transport to and from El Fuerte town so you have to factor in 300$ for both legs to the station which is a complete rip off as it is a 10min drive each way

Beautiful but showing its age

Nice, clean basic room with excellent shower.  Good free WiFi included.  A hot breakfast was available for an extra 100 pesos.  Two bottles of water included in room.  Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.  Friendly, accommodating staff.  We used the hotel as a stopover for the El Chepe train.  The hotel is a five minute cab ride from the station.  I would stay here again.

Nice, Clean, and Convenient

Went here on a business trip with several of my friends and loved the beautiful architectural designs of the place. Will plan to return again. It could use some updating in certain areas such as air-conditioning but our rooms were sufficiently cool. The staff is very kind and accommodating

Beautiful historical hotel

It is a bit dark and a bit dirty. Not a place I would choose again. We stayed the first night in a room that was just catastrophic. Happily we could change for the rest of our stay. This place needs a complete lift and clean up. Don't eat there, I have seen how they stored the food ... There are for sure much better places in El Fuerte.

OK, but nothing more

The hotel is located right beside the fort which is in the historical section of town. It looks to me authentic with high ceilings and beautiful colors. Fast hot water and clean room. Average WiFi but lots of TV channels. No restaurant open on site but several within a 5 minute walk. Front desk staff were bilingual. Room was quiet as no noisy road traffic and lots of masonry. Access to the malecon along the river is close by. Bed was good. I would stay there again.
