Hotel Dengan Spa di Puebla, Mexico

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in late July/early August. Our base-level room was large, clean and well-appointed, which was of course good. The hotel location was convenient to get to all places where we needed to be. Wifi worked well and all interactions with staff were pleasant. We also booked a private transfer to Mexico City airport through the concierge, which went on smoothly and offered good value for money. However, the hotel had a number of stingy, cheap and hostile attitudes towards guests that really rubbed us the wrong way. For example: since we prepaid for our stay, we were not allowed to use the minibar (hotel staff even went to the room to lock it after we checked-in!). What is the connection between these things? I’ve never seen anything like that. Espresso capsules were also removed from the room after we checked in- and mind you, if they hadn’t been taken away from us, there would have been a MXN30 charge for each capsule. What a rip-off - even budget hotels have free coffee these days. And this is one of the most expensive hotels in Puebla. Adding insult to injury, nobody bothered to tell us beforehand that someone would go there to lock the minibar and remove the coffee capsules. To say we were surprised by these petty attitudes is an understatement. Breakfast was also very expensive (~USD25 per person) for what it offered. Another annoying thing: it was impossible to charge room-service and restaurant purchases to our room. We had to settle everything on the spot, which clearly shows management distrusts guests. We didn't feel welcome and won't come back.

Wonderful hotel! Beautiful architecture. It’s a hotel dedicated to wellness, and they do a great job. My husband stayed there couple months ago and had a wonderful yoga session with Karen Lozano, the session was so great that he decided to bring his group of friends to have the same experience. Unfortunately they didn’t have the number of rooms to accommodate us all; but we were still able to organize a class with Karen (sound healing) and it was amazing!!! The rooms are beautiful, super comfortable, and they offer free aromatherapy. The restaurant has a wonderful variety of healthy choices. My only recommendation is that they should let the guest know about their free classes at check in, I found out too late that I had that option.

Since checking in …a complete nightmare, I did my reservation and prepaid online with Trip and I was told by the hotel staff that they had no record of the payment and they wouldn’t allow me in, until i called trip and after 1 hour they allowed me in. I also wanted to order room service, there were no menus and their “online service” was not working… the rooms are a bit old and their ac wasn’t working either surprise surprise… There’s plenty of options in Puebla … don’t bother staying here it’s very overrated….

Very highly recommended, particularly for those weary travellers who would rather set up camp within a stone's throw of the bus terminal ... and close to a most delectable food market! The hotel boasts several elegant and ample lounges on different floors where the guest can sit with his companions for a chat, do some reading, catch up to his diary, or just idle away in quiet and immaculate surroundings. There are a number of lifts servicing the hotel's five storeys, if one does not wish to unwind the winding staircases. Room-door and room-lighting are operated by means of a card-key, and the sober en-suite rooms come complete with a coffee-making machine, telephone for FREE calls, wi-fi, bottled water, coffee & sugar, bathroom amenity kit, all courtesy of the house. You will find Mr Paul at the reception desk, and Mr Eduardo, extremely pleasant, polite and accommodating gentlemen. You will not even have to take your luggage upstairs! Ask for a room overlooking the mighty Mt Popocatepetl, the city's smoking active volcano! Un magnifico lugar, y mas aun para aquellos viajeros que deseen estar a un paso de la terminal de autobuses, ... y a dos pasos de un mercado con la mas deliciosa cocina Mexicana! Este gran hotel cuenta con multiples salones en varios pisos, comodos, elegantes, espaciosos e inmaculadamente limpios, donde el huesped puede sent**** a leer en paz, charlar con amigos, escribir su diario de viaje, o simplemente relaj****. Tambien hay varios ascensores para ascender y descender los cinco pisos. Tanto la puerta de la habitacion como sus luces son accionados por tarjeta (en vez de llaves), y las sobrias habitaciones incluyen cafetero, telefono (las llamadas son gratuitas), agua embotellada, wi-fi, una bandejita de amenidades para el bano, cafe, azucar, todo cortesia de la casa. Varias habitaciones tienen vista directa sobre el humeante volcan Popocatepetl, icono de la ciudad! Paul, encargado de la recepcion, y Eduardo, ambos de disposicion muy gentil y profesional, hacen de la estadia una muy grata experiencia.

Realice reserva con mascota, menciona comunicar con el hotel para el costo, me comuniqué mencionaron costo de 480 por estancia de mascota y llegando realizaron cobro de 350 por noche, no respetaron la información brindada por teléfono, la señorita que atendió fue nocturno el día jueves y mencionó que las políticas son diferentes en la aplicación que en el hotel y que era la única forma de que aceptaran a la mascota, en restaurante buen servicio por parte de el personal en específico del Sr Marcelino que es turno de la tarde , brindó orientación y accede te trato, lástima que las porciones son muy pequeñas para el costo, y tienen muy buen sazón , la mascota solo podía andar en cuarto y área verde siendo un hotel petfriendly no lo permitían en todas sus instalaciones, gymnasio solo cuenta con mancuernas caminadora y bicicleta estática, muy buen lugar para aloj**** pero definitivamente tiene que mejorar sus políticas , el trato de su personal de recepción y el implementar completamente petfriendly .

El hotel es muy bueno, a buen precio, el detalle aveces es la comunicacion de los detalles que ocurren, pedí habitacion con 2 camas y no me las dieron, dieron un sofá cama nada cómodo... En general el hotel es bueno

Stunning property and the room was probably one of the most unique and beautiful rooms I've ever stayed in. We were in awe of our bathroom and level of detail in our room and throughout the property, super impressive. Our breakfast at the restaurant was just okay, the coffee was served lukewarm and the dishes we okay, not stellar especially given the price point. Staff was nice, however, my chief complaint is that they were less than flexible seemingly because we booked through Expedia. We were traveling with our two young children arriving off a red eye flight, I requested an early check and when they noticed I booked through a third party site, confirmed it twice and followed that by stating they would not be able to accommodate the request. The hotel was completely desolate, we sat in the un-airconditioned lobby for 3 hours until our tour was scheduled and literally saw two other guests the entire time. The dining room was completely empty as well so it was not a function of having a fully booked property the evening before. I guess my recommendation is to NOT book through a third party site should you have any special requests.

Muy buen hotel, un servicio y atención excelente Muy limpio, en una muy buena ubicación, céntrico Volvería sin duda alguna!

The quality of this B&B far exceeded the photos and my expectations. Everything in the property is new, high quality, impeccably clean, stylish. Every detail is thought through. Service is excellent. Located 5 min. walk from the central square of Cholula, less than 10 min walk from the main Cholula pyramid and the church on top of it, minutes away from all major churches, less than 10 min away from the city market. Many restaurants and cafes in the radius of the nearest few blocks. Several laundry services within 2 blocks radius. The room is pleasantly cool on hot days and comfortably warm during cold nights. High speed WiFi, hot shower with good water pressure. It was my favorite hotel of the latest 4 visits to Mexico, different states and different cities and towns. Great quality for price too. If you stay in Cholula - definitely have dinner at Spezzia Pasta Bar. The place was recommended to me by the hotel, and I am very grateful they did. The food is exquisite: pastas, salads, desserts, drinks. Not Mexican, but you will be happy you went there. I had dinners in several other places in Cholula, and they can't compare to Spezzia, not even close. Spezzia's food could easily compete with that of a high-rated and high-priced restaurant in a major city like NYC or any big European city.
