CARRERA (8/5): -
Galindo Gonzalez (9/5): - La ubicación está increíble, el personal muy amable
Mary (10/5): Cómodo, bonito y excelente ubicación - El lugar es super conveniente, el personal muy amable y el hostel esta bonito. Hubo un pequeño mal entendido el primer día pero lo resolvieron rápido y nos dieron una mejor habitación qué la reservada. Lo recomendaría siempre A veces estábamos preocupados por regresar ya que no pertenece abierto o con alguien disponible 24 horas, sin embargo nos dieron la llave de la puerta principal y ya todo fue muy cómodo y nos encantó
Peter (7/5): - The beds were well made and made up. Great location near restaurants and a bus stop for bus station This is a hostel not a hotel. We were next to a dorm full of sports team members. It was very noisy in the courtyard. I had difficulty sleeping
Konsult (1/5): LA PEOOOOOOOOR OPCION - NADA PESIMO ALOJAMIENTO !!!! ESTA UBICADO EN UN INMUEBLE ABANDONADO. TODO ES VIEJO Y DESGASTADO, DESDE EL INMUEBLE, MOBILIARIO, COBIJAS DE MUY BAJA CALIDAD. DE HECHO NO OCUPAMOS LA HABITACION, AL MOMENTO QUE NOS LLEVARON A LA HABITACION SALIMOS Y SOLICITAMOS EL REEMBOLSO, POR LA PUBLICIDAD ENGAÑOSA. EN LAS FOTOS NO SE APRECIA EL MAL ESTADO DEL LUGAR.
Neftali (6/5): - La ubicación No tenía agua caliente, jamón de mano, no era la habitación.
ortiz vazquez (8/5): -
Andrea (9/5): Buena relación calidad - precio. - Lo mejor la ubicación, queda a 5 andando del zócalo. Las camas son amplias y cómodas. Se escucha bastante ruido del exterior.
Maria (9/5): -
NORMA ANGELICA (8/5): Regular - La habitación no tenía control remoto para la t.v. y su ventilador no funcionaba.
Laura (10/5): - centrico
Juan Carlos (8/5): - !! Es buena solo le falta que los colchones sean más suaves .
María Antonieta (4/5): Pésimo servicio espéramos la llamada de hoteles - La verdad pésimo servicio resulta que era un hostal sin estacionamiento sin alguien que nos ayudara con el equipaje pedimos planta baja y nos dieron segundo piso las escaleras horribles Lleno de polvo no tenía agua caliente ni coladera el baño y apestaba
Heriberto (8/5): - Ok
Daniel Eugenio (10/5): - buen hotel, buena ubicación en zona centro de Puebla
Violeta Scarlett (10/5): - buen precio por lo céntrico que esta para visitar museos y lugares de interés
Karla (4/5): - Sobre vendieron las habitaciones
estela (8/5): - Céntrica.limpia. tranquila. Segura.personal amable.. regresaré ahí cuando vuelva a Puebla
Daniel (8/5): - todo muy bien
mangel (10/5): - Un lugar muy agradable y lindo para estar
mangel (10/5): - Acogedora
Heriberto (10/5): - Bueno en costo beneficio
MARIA LUISA (8/5): - ESTA CÉNTRICO Y PARA PERNOCTAR ESTA BIEN
Alejandro (6/5): - La ubicación y precios son accesibles aunque tuvimos detalles en cuestiones de limpieza con nuestras sábanas y con respecto al clima de la habitación. de ahí en fuera el lugar agradable y cómodo solo para llegar a descansar.
Iván (10/5): - Excelente habitación, excelente ambiente, muy céntrico y cerca de la catedral y a un precio muy accesible. Realmente recomendable, la atención de parte de recepción es muy buena, no tengo queja alguna
ROCIO (10/5): - buena atencion al cliente
Veronica (10/5): - Su estructura es antigua, me gusta lo antiguo, el cuarto que me tocó para 2 personas en camas individuales muy cómodas, la actitud del personal muy amable, está cerca del centro histórico pudimos ir a pasear al centro a pie si volvería a hospedar en mi siguiente visita a Puebla
David Alejandro (4/5): - La propiedades no fue de nuestro agrado... las fotos no coinciden con la realidad de las habitaciones. La camas fueron incomodas, la habitación donde nos alojamos no tenía puntos para la entrada y salida de aire. Adicionalmente, el acceso al hotel estuvo condicionado hasta antes de las 10 pm (nos dimos cuenta la primera noche cuando cerraron las puertas y tuvimos dificultades para ingresar después de esa hora).
Hector Renato (6/5): Bueno - Buen lugar pero puede mejorar
Nohemi (10/5): Todo excelente. Pero lo Jefa es complicada - Les sugiero que hagan tengan su recibo de pago guardado y que si quedan en un acuerdo con la dueña sean bien específicos, porque por lo que escuche a la señora siempre se le olvida en los términos que quedó con el cliente y quiere cobrar de más, tampoco le gusta que hagan su reservación por ebook porque dice que le quitan el 20% y se enoja con los clientes, hace comentarios a modo de reproche y luego se quiere desquitar cobrandoles el porcentaje por hacer su reservación por internet. En general todo estubo bien,aún que su hubo algunas complicaciones, como la chapa de la puerta no servía y nos cambiaron de cuarto y en el otro cuarto no salía agua caliente y salía súper poquita agua. La chapa de la puerta del baño no servia, fue un poco incómodo que nos cambiarán de cuarto porque tuvimos que mover todas nuestras cosas otra vez. Pero era algo que se tenía que hacer y los empleados fueron muy serviciales
ALFONSO (4/5): HOTEL CON DEFICIENCIA EN CONTAR CON AGUA CALIENTE - Es un Hotel que esta bien ubicado en el centro de la ciudad, el personal que atiende es muy atento y amable, lamentablemente el hotel esta dividido en dos secciones para el uso de agua caliente: Una es con calentador solar y otra con calentador de gas. En donde me hospedé fue la sección de calentador de gas convencional y nunca me pude bañar en la habitación con agua caliente y tenía que trasladarme a otra para poder bañarme. Otros huéspedes también se quejaban de la sección con paneles solares el agua no salía caliente solo tibia.
Verified traveler (6/5): - La habitación contaba con humedad lo cual hizo que estuviera muy fría, no dan jabón ni champú y con el tema de contingencia no es bueno, la atención fue buena en general
Carolina (4/5): - Terrible lugar, nunca tuvimos agua caliente a pesar de reportarlo, el control de la tv no servía, pedí especificaciones en mi reserva mismas que no respetaron, no nos dieron amenidades de shampoo y jabón, al llegar no quisimos hacer check in rápido por que no tenían mi registro de pago y querían que pagara la reserva de nuevo hasta que les mostré el comprobante. Definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar.
Verified traveler (2/5): - El hotel no se parecía a las fotos. Estaba feo y descuidado. Estuvo cerrado hasta las 2pm y volvían a acerrar a las 8pm por "falta de personal" y si no estabas en tu cuarto a esa hora, cerraban las puertas y te quedabas afuera. PÉSIMO, nada amables, no estaba limpio el lugar.
Filiberto (10/5): Lugar típico, para descansar y disfrutar. - Muy buen lugar para descansar y disfrutar, parte del centro de Puebla y sus alrededores, muy buena atención, gracias.
vespersmarquess (8/5): Great stay - Location could not be better. Just few mins away from Zocalo and the cathedral. Room and bathroom very modest but very clean. I wish my entrance had some shutters or curtain as there was a lot of light entering during the evening. The whole place was just a bit too acustic and there was a kid screaming every evening, which was really annoying considering how loud it was. But besides that, I had a great stay and would come back. All the people working there were absolutely lovely.
María (10/5): - Me gustó todo, ubicación, limpieza,personal amable,buenas promociones,seguro y tranquilo, sólo me gustaría que tuvieran TV por cable.
Jose (10/5): No pude ir - Lo que pasa es que no pude llegar pero me gustaría una habitación para el día 24 de diciembre en cuanto saldría para 2 personas
Verified traveler (8/5): - No pude nunca conectarme a la red de wi fi en las áreas comunes
Verified traveler (8/5): - Muy buena ubicacion. Personal idoneo. Problemas de ventilacion de la habitacion
Verified traveler (6/5): Ruidos nocturnos - Mucho ruido en la madrugada por alguna bomba de agua, y Para el agua caliente hay que esperar 5 minutos mientras se desperdicia el agua
Carla (2/5): - tocó al lado de una ventana con luz y porque cerca de la 1:00 de la mañana llegó un grupo de personas bastante ruidosas y tuve que escucharlos un buen rato, lo que me puso de muy mal humor. Eran amigos y se estaban riendo y se escuchaba todo. Además, en la mañana me tuve que bañar con agua fría, porque fue imposible abrir la llave del agua caliente. Estaba muy dura, como si hubiera sido sellada. De esto último sí me quejé con el personal antes de irme. El edificio es bonito. Creo que si sólo vas a estar un día, podría ser aceptable, pero si planeas quedarte varios días, recomendaría buscar otra opción donde puedas estar más cómoda.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente lugar, por la zona y por amabilidad del personal.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y servicio. Buena atención por el personal.
Verified traveler (10/5): - En general todo me gustó en Hostel Casona Poblana: limpieza, personal muy atento y tratable, desayuno aceptable. Sin embargo, noto que hay balcones que dan hacia la calle 16 de septiembre, supuestamente pertenecientes a habitaciones del hotel. Pedí una habitación con vistas a la calle y desde el hotel me contestaron que no era posible complacerme por cuestiones de fachada u otro impedimento que no comprendí muy bien. Creo que el hotel ganaría mucho si en esas habitaciones pudiera accederse al balcón.
ManuelaF1368 (2/5): Avoid if you can - The hostel is central but other than that it has little going for it, unfortunately. The rooms were unclean, the hostel felt very unsafe (the doors to the street remain unlocked and the doors to the room did not seem very solid) and dirty. The breakfast was not great either. The staff brought us food without asking us what we wanted in advance. We felt terrible with the thought that we might be wasting food that we didn’t want or asked for - or else they are refusing food for the next guests... run if you can!
Verified traveler (6/5): - Las habitaciones privadas estan un poco descuidadas. En general, el ambiente es bueno.
annecH9801SP (6/5): Average hostel with pro’s & con’s - Pro’s: Location is great, near cathedral and zocalo. Private room is fairly cheap. Con’s: Private room is basic, lacks a reading light and is noisy (bring earplugs). Staff was not helpful when we asked about walking to the top of the Malinche.
Andrea Nayeozit (10/5): Excelente - Fue una muy buena decisión reservar en Casona poblana, excelente ubicación, costo, servicio e instalaciones.
Marilú (10/5): Buen precio y funcional - Estuvo muy bien, pude entrar a la hora que llegué y hay varios baños disponibles, lavabos y contactos para cargar el celular; además de muy céntrico.
Edgar (6/5): Buen servicio - un espacio muy tranquilo y suficiente para descansar, camas comodas y con una excelente ubicacion. El personal atento y amable.
Sara Eugenia (8/5): Centrico, barato ideal para mochileros - Es un Hostal!! excelente para mochileros sin muchos requerimientos. El filtro de huéspedes es muy amplio de modo que te puede tocar un grupo muy ruidoso o un vecino de habitación que ronca o que deja prendida la televisión toda la noche, en fin; es un poco de suerte. Eso sí el personal excelente de primera su amabilidad y sus ganas de servir y atenderte; ellos un 10 completito!!
Chris (8/5): Excelente ubicación y atencion - Nuestro viaje fue casual a Puebla, pero son de los mejores, súper ubicación y todo estuvo bien, algunas mejoras como en todo pero nada que notar drásticamente, saludos!
Verified traveler (6/5): Hostal muy céntrico - Un hostal con una excelente ubicación y con la atención debida. Hay que considerar que no tiene estacionamiento y si llegas muy tarde, los estacionamientos 24 están algo lejos de la ubicación del hostal. Los precios son buenos. El desayuno decente.
Wan (8/5): Great location in a nice town - Nice small town, safe and pretty. Good stay for couple nights. Quite and safe in the night. Hotel serve breakfast
alex (8/5): - very nice hostel. clean and nice.
orlando (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación, lindo inmueble, el personal super amable, el desayuno suficiente y las camas cómodas
Verified traveler (6/5): Hay que mejorar - El desayuno delicioso. En la habitación no había cable, se perdía la señal de Wi Fi, tardaba muchísimo en salir agua caliente, la atención del personal no es lo que era antes.
vero (10/5): Lindo - Me gustó , todo limpio y muy amables, los baños están limpios , te dan toallas y las camas son muy cómodas .
Juan (10/5): Residencia histórica a pasos del Zócalo - El hostal es muy bello, limpio y cómodo. Destacada atención de todo el personal incluso para aconsejar sobre lugares de interés en la ciudad. Gracias Beto por las recomendaciones y buena onda! El desayuno continental también muy bueno. Súper recomendable!
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice location - Few block away from main area Nice staff. Willing to help me Nice but little cold for this season so bring jacket to stay
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good hostel! Located in a great environment and all the people, staff and visitors, were very nice!
Annaconda110 (8/5): Quirky, but friendly - ... the 16 bed dorm I stayed in, must have been designed by an 'architect' rather than a hostal designer, because even with all its modern stylish set up, it's forgotten all about the people who will be using it, visually interesting it's not practical, this afternoon when I arrive the little old cleaning lady was struggling to make it presentable. But other than that its a great hostel, one of the larger ones with not only a central courtyard, but another at the back, big enough to make the wifi inconsistant, and like all the other hostels I've stayed in here, there's a kitchen, neat modern looking toilets and showers, plus all the usual stuff
conorc401 (2/5): Thiefs - i was a day late in checking in. I was going to pay the full amount when I arrived but they cancelled my booking and charged me the full amount, even though I sent them an email. I am furious. Don't stay here
Maria (10/5): Great location and staff - Great staff, especially the guy working in the mornings/days (forgot to ask about his name). Really central location (400 metres from the Cathedral and Zocola). Breakfast was decent. I stayed in female dorm and we were only 2 (6 beds), but I heard the big dorms were full. Make sure you try mole in Puebla!
Carriemybags (8/5): Nice hostel, great location - We just stayed two nights in a private room at the back, good value and fantastic location very close to the main square. Wifi worked well and we booked a tour to Cholula through the hostel where we ended up with our own guide for the day who was great.
adriang680 (8/5): Nice hostel - The location is just perfec,t close to everything, located on one of the main streets in centro historico, staff nice and helpful. The beds are ok and rooms are clean. I booked three nights in a dorm and one night in a private room which was very expensive for what i got...
willjm03 (6/5): Rude staff. Good breakfast. Loud dorm. - The dorm room on booking.com says it's a ten bed dorm - it's not. It's a 12. I politely mentioned this to the staff and he didn't seem to recognise that there was a fault, instead he became very rude. I wasn't expecting anything other than an apology. The breakfast was very good. The dorm smelt. The towel had huge holes in it. The dorm was loud. The hostel itself is very nice. But I wouldn't stay here again because of the rude member of staff.
Taku (8/5): - Sometimes Free WiFi doesn't work.
465kathyaa (8/5): Good place - The hostal is super close to the cathedral, It's clean and there is a taco place right in the entrance , The staff is friendly and I felt very safe. I stayed in the girls dorm and everything went well. It Included continental breakfast. The house is pretty and bathrooms super clean.
K3349QCdaniellem (4/5): Very loud, service was not great - Light in the room is very minimal. Also I had a leak in the bathroom, nothing was done about it. Worse was I was sleeping next to the laundry, and thought it was a joke the wash machines go all night! Very noisy! I was alone, and tips where not great on where to eat or go for drink, very standard. I was slightly disappointed.
CatM211 (6/5): Excellent location, friendly staff, but incredibly noisy. A good choice in Puebla, but not a very good hostel. - I struggled with how to rate this one. I stayed over the weekend in a private room upstairs, overlooking the courtyard. Pros: The location is perfect - right in the historic city center just a few blocks from the Zocolo. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. It is a beautiful building, nicely decorated, with rooms along an open courtyard that was covered with opaque glass (which meant I could read "outside" while it was raining). There was free wi-fi and there was coffee in morning. Cons: as others have said, this place is unbearably noisy. Partially because of design of the building (acoustics in the open courtyard carry the noise and it seems, really amplify it as well). But it is also directly next door to a CD/DVD store that blasts music until well past midnight. The hostel didn't have a door (only a gate) so it sounded like the music came from inside. I wore earplugs but it wasn't enough. I had to shut my windows to mitigate the noise which made the room uncomfortable and stuffy. To top it off, the fan didn't work :( Also, the bed was quite uncomfortable - so hard that I couldn't sleep on my side (my camping pad is more comfortable!). Linens were not nice and the towel looked like a rag - literally had holes in it - so I used my own. I appreciated the coffee but didn't eat the breakfast (cereal or white toast with margarine and cantaloupe). In a city with such amazing food - and cheap street food - I looked for breakfast elsewhere. I paid around $30 for a private room. Maybe this is normal for Puebla (and I don't imagine there is a better value in town), but it felt expensive for what you actually get. Especially compared to other places I've stayed for the same price. 3 stars seems so unkind to the friendly staff and pretty building, but his place really is just average. They also, confusingly, provide so many amenities that are executed so very poorly: spotty wi-fi, raggedy towel, unappealing breakfast, unfurnished roof deck with no where to sit, pointless TV in the room with three fuzzy channels, ceiling fans that don't work!). There is a lot of potential here.
oleadam (8/5): Nice place near the centre - This is a nice hostel. The rooms are nice but pretty functional. Breakfast was adequate. The communal area was nice to hang out in and Internet was fast. The best thing about the hostel is it's location near the centre of Puebla. A taxi costs 70/80 from the bus station.
Dryanta (8/5): Good place, perfectly set in that beautiful city - The hostel is in a great location. Close to the major attractions and close to stores, restaurants and bars. It's clean and comfortable. The common-area is a huge hall where also breakfast is served. Because that are is open to the outside (no doors) it gets chilly at night. The dorm-rooms are warm, though. The only downside of that hostel is the wacky wifi. It functions but isn't very fast nor stable.
jmgvogt (8/5): good location, nice colonial style - i only stayed 1 night here on my way to oaxaca but everything was as excepted. very good location that you can easily walk thr centre of puebla, cool colonial building, friendly staff, breakfast included, quiet (not a place to party). i cannot complain and recommend the hostel to everybody who isn't looking for a party hostel.
djdgs (8/5): above average option in puebla - Great location to enjoy the wonderful city of puebla. Short walk to the zocalo. Good breakfast. Great common area and friendly helpful service. We stayed in the 10 bed dorm for 3 nights. Comfortable beds, good bathrooms and hot showers in the dorm. Historic and stylish space. We would definitely stay there again and in a private room. Improvements being made to common areas. Good wifi.
950limp (8/5): Good Location - Hostel is in great location, is in down town, near to most of the attractions. The 10 bed mixed dorm is clean, attached with toilet & bathroom. The kitchen is clean & allow guest to use it. Signal free wifi is good, can surt in the room too. The staff are very friendly & can speak in English.
917chuah (10/5): Terrific & warm & cosy - I stayed 2 nights here from 16-17 Apr 2015. The location was excellent, near to most of the attractions and right in the downtown historic center. The staff were all friendly, able to speak English and provide you all the info. you need. The room was clean and roomy. The 10 bed dorm comes with bathroom attached which is very convenient. You can use the kitchen for cooking if you like. The kitchen is clean and spacious. Breakfast consist of continental breakfast with cereal which is enough not to go hungry. Wifi was fast and you can even surf in your room. Wifi is free. The hostel is warm, tastefully coloured and decorated to welcome all guests. The whole hostel is well kept and clean. Security is tip top. They have 24 hour reception. I will stay here again if I were to return to Puebla again.
AndyAnnable (6/5): Expensive for what you get but decent location. - We stayed here at last minute due to it being Easter weekend and it was the only place with a private room. For the price you pay you really don't get much. Not even a hello or a welcome from the reception staff! Didn't seem to want to help with anything. Pretty poor by any standard, when the internet didn't work which was often, the staff didn't seem bothered. The room itself Was ok but the ceiling fan doesn't work and you can't have the windows open as the noise outside is way too much! Not just at night but from 6am every morning. If you value sleep then look elsewhere. No towels supplied in private rooms. Also the breakfast Is nothing to rave about. White bread with butter and jam, watered down coffee and milk! On the plus side it's a great location and actually a really pretty hostal, the courtyard is a great idea it just doesn't help the sound situation at night or early morning. I wouldn't stay here again.
msvalhalla (2/5): Unacceptable experience where the owner tried to make up for it after taking his chances - we stayed on the wrong night - We stayed here as a well located, recommended and clean hostel in Puebla all of which it is. However, on our unfortunate night, they decided to go at the sewage system in the courtyard right outside our doors (which lead onto the courtyard) at 12-2am in the morning. The noise was too loud even for heavy sleepers (I am a light sleeper). But unfortunately the worst was yet to come. At about 1.30am a smell of very raw sewage started coming into our room for about 20mins. Luckily my partner had drifted off to sleep, but for me this was one of the most disturbing nights I have had in a long time. We confronted the owner in the morning, and he made his excuses. He said it was unavoidable at night-time as the heavy sewage trucks are not allowed on the small streets during the day. He also didn't expect the smells or the noise to be so bad. I consider these poor excuses, and that the hostel should simply have been closed for the night to guests as it was too likely that their would be either noise and/or smells. I couldn't eat my breakfast from the lack of sleep and smell and I have no problem eating my food. The only nice thing I can say is that on seeing how upset we were, he paid for our taxi to the bus station that day without question.
KatharinaJ (8/5): excellent location, nice hostel, but no windows - Casona Poblana is located right in the city center; the staff are very friendly, it has a lovely patio and free wifi, the room was really nice too. Unfortunately our room didn´t have a window, so it got pretty hot inside and the air wasn´t very good in the room - on the other hand, there was no noise from the street, which was nice. Breakfast is included.
