Casona de la Republica Hotel Boutique

I was not sure about this property because I did not care for the decor in the photographs, but this place is soooo much better than the photos. No bright red accents, actually very attractive. Attractive headboards and colors. Friendly and helpful staff. Great massage right on the premises. Tasty breakfast. Fabulous location. Beautiful updated mansion. On-site bar. We booked one night, then decided we were having too much fun to leave yet, so booked another night. Then had too much fun to leave yet so booked another night! We highly recommend this place!

Stayed here for a 3-day weekend with my wife. Brenda and Fernanda went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. Valet parking is included and the cars are parked in a private parking garage with attendants and in/out gate arms. The location is unbeatable: 10-min walks to just about anything you want to eat or see. Unfortunately, we did not join the breakfast or brunch on Sunday due to timing conflicts. Will def come back to stay here. This bldg is a little part of Qro’s history! Ask Brenda for a entire tour of the property and about the property’s history.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The staff, especially Cynthia and Adolfo, were so helpful with any questions and restaurant recommendations! The location can’t be beat…easy to walk all over the center, and we never felt unsafe day or night! The facilities are clean and the rooms are large and comfortable. The rooftop terrace is great for enjoying a glass of wine. The hotel arranged airport pickup and a private car tour for us with Paco, who was fabulous! He was always ontime, full of great information and had nice cars…we highly recommend him! We would definitely stay here again on any future trips!

This place is hidden gem. Work brought me to Queretaro and we couldn't have found a better place. The rooms were great, very unique and the staff was absolutely terrific. The hotel is very quiet and clean with a great little breakfast; as a bonus, the coffee was terrific. We didn't realize there was a rooftop bar area so we missed that the first night but made up for it on the second. We'll definitely be staying here again. I can't recommend this place enough.

We loved our stay here. The location is ideal. The service was great (knowing that I was going to show up before check-in time, they emailed me to say they would try to have the room ready early, and they did). The rooms were elegant, super-clean, and very, very quiet.

"Fawlty Hotel" it isn't but it is managed almost as poorly. Great potential - beautiful and spacious room.|Flaws:|1. Service is sub par.|2. Breakfast is a whole ritual of sitting and getting asked and served one item at a time instead of having items in a Buffett style. The "menue" is limited and not generous.|3. Our room was serviced by a maid every day but always missed items - forgot toilet paper, water refills, tissues. I had to go to reception every day to correct this.|4. Toilet flushing wasn't reliable. Had to have maintenance come and take care of this issue twice.|5. Shower drainage also slow as well as difficult to adjust for correct temperature.|As "icing on the cake" we decided to shorten our stay from seven to five nights. We inquired from the manager about a partial refund and were denied. We told him about our earlier departure after 2 days. |6. Hotel was mostly empty with more employees than guests. I have no idea why but during our stay we encountered only 2 other couples.|All in all the stay was disappointing to say the least. It is a shame as the hotel is beautifully restored and we'll located next to the historic city center.|Would not stay again at this establishment. Queretaro as a vacation location was very nice but probably Mexico has more to offer. |

This is an old colonial big house (Casona) with amazing rooms. You can chose different sizes, ours was outstanding. We stayed at the Abasolo room and it was great. Jacuzzi at the side of the bed, very spacious, clean and just simply amazing. Towels and bathrobes were clean. The service was awesome, one of the best services we have had. We bought some wine, bread and cheese across the street and the hotel employee offered to bring it to the room. For sparkling wine we brought us a service stand with ice, wine glasses, etc. We were thrilled with the service. Spent some time in the roof terrace and had a great time. Afterwards we went to a lounge next to our room and the guy turned on the fountain and music for us. It was a great experience.

Like traditional Spanish Spanish homes of the well-to-do, this casona ("mansion") shows a plain face to the street, but is an architectural delight inside the gates. Our junior suite was right off the main courtyard, so we could hear the burbling of its fountain, and sit outside enjoying the many orange trees. We loved the art in the room and in the public areas. Although beautifully refurbished from its 16th-century construction, the architects had made sure that the amazing rock-filled walls were left uncovered in some places. We were there off-season, so the restaurant and bar were not open for business, but the complementary breakfast (delicious and hearty) was available in a smaller dining room. The staff was wonderful, always attentive and ready to help. Our only complaint was that the mattress was too hard. We highly recommend the Casona.
