About this property

Welcome to Hotel Colonial Zacatlán

Hotel Colonial Zacatlán offers straightforward accommodations in the heart of Zacatlán, Puebla. The modest rooms come equipped with basic amenities such as cable TV and private bathrooms, providing a no-frills option for travelers seeking affordable and practical lodging. Complimentary parking is available nearby, though some guests have noted that the hotel itself does not have on-site parking.

Situated just a few blocks from the city center, this hotel is conveniently located close to local attractions like the Watchmaking Museum Alberto Olvera Hernandez and Goldfinches Canyon, both within walking distance. The lively surrounding area features shops, eateries, and a weekend street market that guests can easily explore. Public Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the property, adding to the practical conveniences.

Guest reviews highlight the hotel's excellent location and value for money, praising its cleanliness and quiet atmosphere despite its basic style.

Tiene muy buena ubicacion ya que solo se encuentra a dos calles del centro, el único problema que tuve fue que estaba en remodelación entonces se escuchaba un poco de ruido en la tarde, pero como no estuve en el hotel no afecto mucho y por último la recepcionista no sabe dar indicaciones de como llegar a tal lugar

Es un excelente lugar para pasar la noche y descansar, esta muy cerca del centro y es económico y agradable servicio. Es limpio, tranquilo, agua caliente, internet, tv con cable aunque la tele es de los antiguos y pequeña. En general recomendable por su ubicación y precios.

Este hotel tiene los precios mas accesibles de todo zacatlan. Sus habitaciones están limpias, no son de alto lujo, pero tienen lo necesario para descansar cómodamente y asearse. Todas las habitaciones cuentan con sanitario y regadera privados. Tiene una excelente ubicación ( a dos cuadras de reloj floral y a una cuadra del mercado). El personal hasta abril de 2018 es muy amable y atento.

Un hotel Pequeño. Hay que subir escaleras. Muy Económico y super centrico. Se descansa muy bien si no eres exigente. Tiene estacionamiento a 2 cuadras u media. Los fines de semana en esta calle se pone el tianguis y esta fenomenal.

$300 sencilla. $500 Doblé. Solo se cobra en efectivo. NO tarjetas. 2 jabones. 2 toallas. 1 rollo de papel., extra en $5 mxn. Venden shampoo, jabones, rastrillos, toallas sanitarias, etc. Wi-fi si tiene y es muy bueno ya que tienen un par de repetidores en los pasillos. Excelente servicio de todo su personal, es lo mejor de la visita. Excelente ubicación. 24.12.22 El hotel fue al parecer remodelado en este 2022. Cerrando todas las ventanas no hace tanto frio, de todas maneras te prestan cobijas extra, si es que hay disponibles. Yo compré mi cobertor. El clima en la zona es muy frío siempre. Los sábados y domingos la calle es un tianguis muy bueno. NO tiene estacionamiento. En Todo Zacatlán no sirve AT&T.

Va muy relacionado con precio vs calidad, los cuartos son relativamente cómodos, además de encontrarse relativamente cerca del centro, su gran desventaja es el mercado se encuentra afuera del hotel, es un poco complicado para llegar, pero si lo que querés es un lugar barato en donde dormir es el lugar ideal.
