Gamma Monterrey Gran Hotel Ancira

This is a grand old hotel, well over 100 years old. The architecture is wonderful, and the lobby is a great place to hang out. The rooms are quite nice (at least on the "Fiesta Rewards" floor, floor 3 — I didn't see the others). The bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean and quite functional. There is a fridge. I wish there was a reading (ie, comfortable) chair in the room, but there wasn't — only a desk chair on casters.||The restaurant did not have the most interesting menu, but the food was really well prepared — the salmon was really good! We didn't try the breakfast buffet.||I couldn't figure out when the in-hotel Starbucks was open. Supposedly it opens at 8, but it wasn't the one day I checked it out.||The front desk staff are very friendly and competent.||Strongly recommended if you want an "old world" experience in the heart of Monterrey.

Positive: Location Negative: No. Everything was great.

I had a very disappointing experience at Gamma Monterrey Ancira during the Ironman 70.3 Monterrey weekend. The hotel was clearly aware that more than 85% of its occupancy was related to the event, yet the service and organization were extremely poor. The internet and phone service did not work properly throughout our stay, which is unacceptable—especially during a major international event when guests need reliable communication. Additionally, during dinner, room service did not have several items listed on the menu available. After a long day of travel and race preparation, this was extremely frustrating and reflected poor planning, especially knowing the hotel was nearly full due to the event. To make matters worse, the hotel did not offer early breakfast accommodations on the morning of the race. For an event like Ironman 70.3, where athletes must leave very early, providing at least a basic early breakfast option should be standard practice. The lack of planning and consideration for guests participating in the event was very disappointing. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations, particularly given the importance of the weekend for so many guests. I would not recommend staying here during major events unless significant improvements are made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an excellent experience at Gamma Gran Hotel Ancira! The accommodations were remarkably roomy and inviting, offering an ideal sanctuary to relax in after busy days out and about. The shower delivered consistently steaming water with impressive flow—always a welcome luxury. Having a smart TV in the room was a thoughtful bonus that let me catch up on entertainment during downtime. The hotel sits in a prime spot that made getting around and discovering the surrounding area effortless. I must give special recognition to the warm and attentive team members, particularly those running the in-house bar and restaurant. The cuisine was outstanding, the cocktails were expertly crafted, and the hospitality was genuinely exceptional. If you’re planning a trip to Monterrey, Gamma Ancira deserves a spot at the top of your list!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Great location. Walking distance to many great spots .Lots todo around the area. The hotel has an old elegant look and feeling in the lobby area. Comfortable king bed. Ac worked but did make some squealing sounds. A windows in our unit was off track so had to get maintenance to shut it . They offer valet parking only. Its free for your stay. You get a ticket and you have to get it stamped in the lobby. They do take a while to bring your car, so make sure to account for like 3-10 mins to get your car. Would still reserve again. Very great if you plan and walk around macroplaza and Barrio Antiguo

Very classy, helpful, and modern hotel. Rooms are a bit older looking but still very clean and good. Great hotel and location

Absolutely wonderful. I've nothing but positive words about this hotel. The lobby is stunning just beautiful, room is nice and clean, pool area is very nice as well. Pics already look great online but then in person this hotel is even better than expected. The staff is fantastic as well so kind and always helpful. Got to love the 12pm checkout time too! Fantastic location great for exploring on foot and central to everywhere that we wanted to go. 11/10 would stay here again and definitely recommend it!

Beautiful hotel rich in history. Restaurants and a few bar and grills all in a few minutes walking macrophages 5 to 10 minutes walking boat rides 16 minutes away takes you to the steelmill horno 3 Staff was great and many speak English. Will be back.

The Gran Ancira was built in 19I2. Now with that said I have stayed at a few other hotels that were as old and historic as this one but the Gran Ancira definitely holds its own against them. As you enter the Gran Ancira hotel you are graciously greeted by numerous hotel employees. You then make your way into the lobby/ ballroom with a beautiful grand sweeping staircase. The floor is the classy black & white checkers that you'll quickly see reflecting above you on the ceiling adorned full of mirrors. I was here for work for 10 days so the food was provided by the hotel but it was very good. I did see that they had a Sunday brunch that looked incredible. The rooms are nice but your view can be hit or miss depending on what side of the hotel you get. The size of the rooms are decent size and the beds were very comfortable pillow top mattresses. The bathrooms varied in size from room to room. A few of the rooms had nice spacious bathrooms while the others(the one I got!) was tiny and made you feel claustrophobic. Other than that everything in the rooms are clean and tidy. Oh yeah the wifi was a bit spotty in the rooms. The surrounding area has a bit of a Euro feel with the cobblestone streets and plazas. Shopping,restaurants and even a electronics market reminiscent of ones found in Asia are all within walking distance. So onto the best part of the hotel....the PEOPLE! Literally every single employee that I encountered at this hotel was sincerely, genuinely nice and helpful! A rare thing nowadays but somehow you guys managed to do it! Thank you Alejandro and everyone at the Gran Ancira for the 5 star hospitality!
