Book NowHotel Francés Review
Dating from 1610, Guadalajara's oldest hotel is a national monument. Stone columns and colonial arches girdle an attractive three-story atrium lobby and dining area, with a marble fountain. However, the charm ends outside the guest rooms, where threadbare linens, dingy bathrooms, and thin walls are serious drawbacks—music from the downstairs bar will keep you up all night if you're in the wrong room. Rooms facing Calle Maestranza have tiny 17th-century balconies, as well as street noise. Pros: G reat downtown location, interesting period architecture. Cons: On a noisy street, tired furnishings.

I just spent two weeks in this charming Hotel and found it to be a perfect location, rooms are exceptionally clean and service excellant. This Hotel is almost 400 years old and is very charming. The Happy Hour music is most pleasant but I did find the Saturday evening music too loud. It is a good value for the adventuresome person. No carpeted rooms or heated towel racks...just a plain good clean room and a fun place to be.

This hotel has a lot of charm. I recommend the rooms on the third floor where you will enjoy the large terrace for beautiful sunsets. It is also located in the center of town where you can reach many of the main sights by walking and/or bus. The staff is friendly and helpful.
