Highly recommend this place, awesome staff and great accommodations, rooms are a little small but other than this place is excellent. Steps aways from the main plaza. I booked in correctly our days and arrived a day after our reservation, the staff informed me that they might not have another room available but that they would keep me informed, luckily another reservation canceled and we just had to move to another room.

Our room at Hotel Santa Paula was small but well-appointed. It had an inviting décor, with simple furnishings and functional amenities. The beds are firm, the pillows soft, and the bathrooms are clean and modern. The rooms have a writing table, a ceiling fan, a bureau for clothing, and a TV with cable. While we found our room adequete--in terms of size-- it was comfortable and functional. The hotel also houses the restaurant De totopo y Salsa, which serves delicious breakfast items that are sure to start your day off right. The hotel is located in a great location, just a short walk from many of Taxco's main attractions, such as the Plaza Borda, Parroquia de Santa Prisca , and the Mercado de Artesanias. The bus station is also within easy walking distance, for those using public transportation. Gustavo and the receptionist at the front desk were particularly helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Overall, we had a great time at the hotel and would definitely recommend it to others.

Excellent hotel! The room was clean (spotless) and spacious. The location is between the bus station and the zocolo, so it's only a 5 minute walk from the bus station (which is important if you're carrying luggage because it's an uphill walk). Everyone at the hotel was very, very friendly and helpful. The woment at the front desk were so nice. I felt very safe. They give you an wristband to identify you as a guest. There is usually someone at the gate and in the evening the front gate is locked, so someone from reception has to let you in. The pool is nice. It's small, more for relaxing than swimming. But they can turn on a heater so the water gets warmer. The restaurant is excellent. I had the chilaquiles. Normally, I like to eat at markets, but because they let me check in early, I decide to eat breakfast at the restaurant. The food was very very good. I can't reccomend enough and will go back if I am in Taxco again

It's a beautiful hotel with great views. The rooms are plain and clean. The staff is attentive, helpful, polite and professional. The restaurant closes around 2 p.m., but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. The wi-fi in the restaurant was better than in our room!

A good hotel that deserves 5 stars. The breakfasts were tasty and had enough variety. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the stay. I also appreciated the pool, the nice view from the hotel, and the convenience of free parking nearby. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would consider staying here again.

We stayed here for two nights and highly recommend it. We stayed in the king room that has its own balcony and it was lovely. We even got to eat breakfast out there. The bed was comfortable and the room was well-equipped with a coffee maker (weak coffee warning), a refrigerator, A/C and a desk. Léo and Fernando at the door we’re very nice and had good recommendations, and the rest of the staff was very friendly as well. The restaurant is a separate business but the food was good. Breakfast is not included. Lots of beautiful views from various spots at the hotel. The pool was very clean but the water was very warm - maybe a plus for some. The hotel is just up the hill from the bus station about five minutes, and a five minute uphill walk will take you to the Zocalo. We would definitely return!
