Fiest Inn Las Animas: Poor Value but clean rooms and nice staff

by Fid

I was in Puebla on business and stayed here on the recommendation of a friend. The hotel is very clean with a friendly staff. Compared to a similar type hotel in the US it was very expensive- even for a business traveler. I paid over $170 per night for accomodations that would equal a Courtyard by Mariott. In addition to that they charged me $15 per night for internet service.

I can only recommend this hotel if you are not concerned about money.

Hotel Colonial: A family favorite

by melosh

I love the staff for its friendliness, efficiency and the comfortable atmosphere they create. Although the prices have increased through the years I feel it remains a good value. My brother who has worked throughout the world for a geothermal energy company declared it one of the world's best. I have taken 25 non-relatives to this hotel and everyone loved it, but this is not a luxury hotel. I think it is rated 3 stars out of 5.
The central enclosed patio restaurant is justly popular with locals for Sunday comida and a great place for breakfast or other meals. The hotel is often full, but has been reliable in honoring phone reservations with credit cards. There is a parking garage and a small elevator.

Set in a historic building that was originally the bishop's residence, this long existing hotel with such a common name, is a unique, comfortable place to stay. It has my favorite type of location. As of my last visit it remained independent and not part of a chain. Many of the friendly staff have worked there for many years. There has been a recent renovation that did nothing to harm its charm while adding internet connections and other upgrades. It faces a small traffic free plaza with a church and school. Many rooms have small balconies. The roof top views are fabulous.
You have to explore this hotel, but do not expect a museum. Some of the paintings are probably hundreds of years old, while other decorations seem to be cheap additions of maybe 40 or 50 years ago and prior hotel rennovations.

Popocatepetl Hostel: Popo Hostel

by soultraveler

This hostel is great, slow, clean, homey, and hospitable. You live in a big Mexican type house with many rooms. You are a quick 10 minute bus ride to the city center on Bus 4. And you are in a great little neighborhood.

There are gardens throughout. There are many little stores all around .
