Las Golondrinas

We only stayed here one night, as the rest of the week we stayed at a timeshare, but we would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat. It has a nice, friendly staff, and a wonderfully exotic plant-filled courtyard that wanders all over the place and makes you forget that you are on a somewhat busy street.

The breakfast in the morning was very good (you pay extra for that), but the coffee was TERRIBLE. The only other "negative" is that the Zocalo is over 6 blocks away, but it is not a big negative.

A charming small (20 room) hotel, and one of my favorite places to stay anywhere in the world. The rooms are all arrayed around small courtyards, lush with tropical plants. Set back from the street, it's quite quiet. The rooms are furnished in a very simple varnished-pine Ikea-like style, but they're charming and immaculate. There's a small, al-fresco restaurant which serves breakfast (for purchase). The family members who run the hotel are extremely gracious, and the entire experience is top-notch.

Travelers looking for the Sheraton might not find this hotel up to their standards, but if you want a hotel that lets you know you're in Mexico while being charming and comfortable, look no further!

The only downsides: Las Golandrinas is about 6-blocks north of the Zocalo (but that sounds worse than it is) and the hotel keeps getting more and more popular. A reservation can be hard to obtain sometimes. (The hotel won't accept faxed reservations due to having had too many no-shows.) Make sure you reserve in advance!
