Ex Hacienda Santa Elena

The location only a few blocks from the stairs and the Zócalo are the ONLY reason someone may want to stay here. But don't do it

The photos are VERY out of date. They say family friendly because their kids yell and scream all the time and their dog barks constantly. The place is faded, dirty, and spider webs and insect egg sacks were EVERYWHERE. The shower drain is so slow that there was almost 2 inches of standing water, which means you are standing in that drainage water connected to everyone else's. I left with 2 days remaining in my paid for stay bulecause I just didn't feel safe or clean in this place. Will never go back.

It’s near the downtown

The poool wasn’t working. You have to knock to enter

comfortable and pleasant. good location. Friendly staff.

Restaurant was closed. Very low pressure in the shower.

The host was super friendly and helpful, even with a language barrier (we don’t speak Spanish) she managed to help us out with directions and we had a good laugh!

unfortunately the pool was being cleaned when we were there so we weren’t able to use it!

This is an excellent economical option for Atlixco, which is a delightful town, one of the most attractive in Puebla state. The rooms are arranged beside a stretch of lawn; there is a bar, a small souvenir shop, and a restaurant that operates only on weekends. I was there during the week, and it was very quiet and tranquil -- the weekend might be a different story. There's a very comfortable and spacious common area with seats, barstools, swings, and a fine old clay oven. Lety, the caretaker, is a friendly and helpful lady who's followed around all day by her cute little dog. No breakfasts are served on weekdays, but there's a very good place down the block (turn left out the gate -- it's the building next to no. 111 with the magenta facade. There may be proper signage by the time you visit). Traditional Mexican breakfasts served at a very reasonable price, with a nice seating area in the garden as well as indoors. The rooms are clean and quite well-equipped (my bed was maybe a bit spongey); no air-con, but I was fine with a fan even in hotter weather. Wi-fi is good and stable in the common areas, weaker but still serviceable in the rooms. To head to the centre of town, turn right out the gate and right again on Calle Hidalgo, which is a beautiful stretch of road and takes you straight to the Zocalo (central plaza). Overall a very pleasant stay for the price.

At this price point, it's not going to be the Taj Mahal, but it's excellent value. Note that you're not given a key to the outside door, so returning means ringing the bell and waiting a minute or so.

had to change rooms because of sewage odor in initial room and they did not have preferred bed type

Well besides the comfortable King bed, super clean room, very quiet and great location, the family is wonderful 🥰. I had a great time playing foos ball ( footballini?) with the kids. There’s a great spot to hang outside and u get to walk pass the Dancing stairs on ur way into town. We miss their wonderful family who we connected with an hope to visit again. I would highly suggest this Hacienda. 😊thanks for everything, jodi and dave
