Hotels near Talavera de la Reyna, Puebla

The hotel is about 15 minutes to Puebla's catedral. About 10 to Cholula. About 20 to the airport. I choose the hotel due to the great reviews and the location. The front desk staff were very helpful. The bellman brought my luggage to the room right away. The room was clean, the beads comfortable, like any 5 star hotel room. The breakfast was the best continental I have ever had. I have stayed at many hotels, Hyatt, Hilton, etc,. This one has the best breakfast. The hotel front desk/lobby is located on the 2nd floor. The entrance is on the rear part of the mall. If you forgot something you can buy it downstairs inside the mall.

We had been driving since Tepic until 2:30 a.m. and could not find a hotel on our route until we got to the Holiday Inn, Puebla. Exhausted, we were grateful to arrive and be able to park our loaded car out front. (It wouldn't fit in the parking garage with the roof rack loaded.) The front desk staff was so accommodating and professional. Check out was 1:00 p.m., so we had ample time to rest before continuing our travels. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice, big, hot shower. We are IHG members and received excellent service.

PROS Premises are pristine, from the parking lot to the front desk and all the way to the rooms and bathrooms -no smells, no mold, no stains; and that is refreshing and reassuring… hope this hotel will remain being taken good care of. The look is modern, stylish, fresh, and practical, which all in all adds for a very wheelchair friendly experience. The wheelchair accessible room is comfortable and easy to book, and although the bathroom could do with a couple more security grab bars near the toilet, it is spacious and comes with a sufficient shower chair. The staff is friendly, assistive, and attentive. CONS The location is not what you would call touristy, it is located within the governmental district, which means not within walking distance of any attraction, sightseeing, or shopping. Because of the location you’ll need to get in or out by car, call it taxi, Uber or your own. Also because of the location, so packed with government offices, the area feels deserted after 6PM and on weekends. Not sure how that plays on security. Regarding the handicapped room, it is only a 1-queen size-bed room, somehow an inconvenient considering handicapped guest rarely travel alone. A 2-bed room option would be highly desirable. Finally, not sure if for safety or aesthetics or any other functional end, but there is a huge spotlight-like light illuminating the building’s façade that becomes greatly annoying when at the handicapped room -which is located on level 1. Yes, the shades do block such light, but if they open even slightly, the amount of light pouring in is huge!!!

Everything was perfect, but I was always asking them to put extra bottles of water in the room (( they didn’t)) and once I called reception to ask for water he say (( we are running out of drinking water, you have to buy in the shop near 24/7)) what is wrong with you guys??? No water??? Are you serious??

Beautiful classic style hotel. Well maintained. Rooms clean. Bathroom clean. Good hot water. Beds comfortable. Offer in house dining. TV has Netflix prime star etc. TV channels spanish but a couple of planet series in English. Balconies on inner rooms overlooking pool. Outside face onto streets. Very well located. Car parking. Pool clean water and maintained. Good atmosphere. Mixed clientele of foreign tourists and Mexican.

Wonderful hotel! Beautiful architecture. It’s a hotel dedicated to wellness, and they do a great job. My husband stayed there couple months ago and had a wonderful yoga session with Karen Lozano, the session was so great that he decided to bring his group of friends to have the same experience. Unfortunately they didn’t have the number of rooms to accommodate us all; but we were still able to organize a class with Karen (sound healing) and it was amazing!!! The rooms are beautiful, super comfortable, and they offer free aromatherapy. The restaurant has a wonderful variety of healthy choices. My only recommendation is that they should let the guest know about their free classes at check in, I found out too late that I had that option.

Don’t expect a good night’s sleep here! The slightest sound in the week echoes around the entire building. It becomes even worse on the weekend when drunk weekenders arrive back from the bars and nightclubs and shout, laugh, continuously talk and drink, without any intervention to prevent further disruption during the night - one particular night, a loud party was being held on our corridor, lasting from 02:30 until 05:30. This was not an isolated incident. During the night and day, the hotel remains very cold with a constant draft able to blow underneath ill-fitting doors that neither block out sound or cold nights. Few facilities available here, so you have to cross a very dangerous, polluted and busy road to get to town for anything. The local streets are filthy with rotting organic matter which is just left to rot outside the hotel in the street. Such a shame, as the staff are trying their best in a desperate situation. If you value your health, it’s best to avoid this disaster. I was ill for a whole week! You have been warned!

Generally good. Including that they have a lactose-free milk option at the buffet. The person who was outside only told me where the reception was - which was closed - but with both hands occupied by the suitcases, it is difficult to open it (since it has a knob) and they do not help you open it despite seeing that you have your hands busy, I considered it a minus point to the hospitality. It would be nice if there was a plaque explaining what the hotel was previously. What is that chimney and what was it used for, etc., as well as they have signs of what the fauna is called. Thank you.
