Hotels near Explanada del Jardín Principal, San Miguel de Allende

Casa Arca was the perfect place for us to stay for our friend’s wedding. The staff were amazing and extremely attentive. They helped book us transport to and from the airport, answered any questions we had and were more attentive and friendly than any property I’ve stayed at in recent years. The hotel location is perfect for exploring the city and walking pretty much everywhere. The food at the hotel was fantastic. We had many meals in San Miguel and the breakfast and dinner options at the hotel were up there in quality, presentation, and portion size. We loved everything we ate. The last thing to cover are the beds. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept so well every night. I think their bed tops any high end hotel bed we’ve experienced. I would highly recommend staying at this property and we will not hesitate to book again if we are in San Miguel De Allende!

We stayed for 3 nights on a recent road trip through Mexico. This was a nice clean and economical spot. It was a convenient walk to the centre of town. The breakfast that was good. Personally I wish that they had bar service so that you could relax in the courtyard with a glass of wine/beer. And a pool would have been nice Overall we enjoyed our stay,

Spent 1 night here on a brief tour of San Miguel de Allende. The hotel was nice, rooms seemed newly done so everything was very nice. Had an ok dinner at the restaurant and a shot of Cristilano Tequila which was amazing. The lobby had a small game room with a pool table, fooz ball table, and the open restaurant lobby area had tons of places to sit and hang out. Huge pool as well. We walked to the nearby Mercaod Sano on Saturday morning and have a lovely breakfast and enjoyed some live music and market - cash only.

Room facilities are generally the look of a fast hotel. For the price of SMA, the price/performance ratio is still relatively high. If you go to the center, walk 15-20 minutes. This is not a distance. When you arrive in a tourist city, you can go around everywhere. There is a microwave at the front desk to heat food and water. There are more Mexican restaurants nearby. There is a sushi restaurant. The hotel checks in at 3 pm. There are vacancies to advance. The service is very good. The waiter can't speak English and can communicate with translation software.

Todo el hotel es recomendable, limpieza, el personal super amables, en especial Dulce, Lalo de recepción y en comedor Roberto siempre al pendiente de cualquier situación. El desayuno muy rico y basto! La ubicación super buena, y lo recomiendo totalmente! Gracias por el excelente fin de semana!

I wanted to like this place more than I did. It has old-world charm, with the dark wood, the talavera tile and the boveda ceilings. It’s very reasonably priced, too, but you get what you pay for in a lot of ways here. Not a lot of room amenities— no mini fridge or microwave which, to be fair, is relatively rare in Mexico. But the stocked soaps and things were so cheap— like Dollar-Store cheap— they hardly lathered up. I couldn’t quite get a handle on the hours of the little convenience shop either which seemed never to be open, so no buying our own. I might have been able to overlook that stuff if the ladies at the front desk weren’t so rude. At one point during our stay, I thought I lost my key. When I went to ask for another, the two clerks literally rolled their eyes at one another before proceeding to take an inordinate amount of time contacting whomever they needed to contact to come program another key. They hardly addressed me and let me know pretty late in the process that I would have to pay for the replacement… in cash. I couldn’t just add the charge to the card on file for the room. So analog. Likewise, later when it was time to leave, one of those same clerks simply glared at me when I approached to let her know we were checking out. It wasn’t until my husband showed up behind me that she actually addressed me, saying everything was all set. She even smiled. I couldn’t help laughing at the absurdity of the abrupt change in her demeanor. I’m not sure if I did something to offend her or if she’s just a hateful person, but she’s definitely one reason we will be staying elsewhere the next time we’re in town.
