There were limited electrical outlets and lights, in general. The light in the bathroom was poorly placed. Taking a shower in the bathtub was a bit dangerous, with a slippery tub surface and no grab bars.

The property is fascinating and delightful. It embodies much of the interesting Xilitla history involving Edward James, Leonora Carrington, and the Gastellum family. The staff does a good job of telling its story, with a tour of the entire site. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfasts served in the dining room were excellent! The two women staff were outstanding, helping us with our heavy bags down slippery rock streets to meet the taxi! We were sorry to have to leave early, and it had nothing to do with the accommodations. It just rained the entire time and prevented us from touring places we had hoped to see. No one's fault! The restaurant next door was wonderful!

Nothing.

The property is amazingly unique. The historical significance makes it a must stay experience. We loved ending our days in the terrace with a glass of wine with views of the city and mountains. Included breakfast was great.

It was very unique, full of history and charm. We were taken care of very well and had a great breakfast. We enjoyed the pool after a long hot day at Las Pozas and the relaxed atmosphere in the hotel.

For older people, the stairs can be a little hard to navigate. The home Edward James created is not designed for luxury but for its incredible views. In the old days, nothing was around it, but now there is a bar next door that plays loud music all afternoon and evening. However, it’s very quiet after 11.

It is a unique property because it was the home of the artist you come to Xilitla to discover. It is the fourth time I’ve stayed here and it never disappoints. Rooms are large and beds are comfortable. It’s very convenient to the town square and restaurants.

the town was busy while we were there. we were surprised at the traffic . the hotel was quiet ,off the noisy area.

everyone was very nice. staff was friendly and helpful . the manager went out of her way to find tours to fit our needs. it was very much a family rather than staff.

We liked everything

This is an exceptional historic property associated with Edward James who built Los Pozos. The rooms are large and comfortable and the large windows and sliding doors are screened so you can shut off the a/c and have fresh air at night. There are a lot of choices for the full breakfast and it was great. Free secured parking.

No staff around during day or evening. Difficult to find a member of staff.

Sense of history. A unique place.

Interior, stuff, food, location. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for a truly memorable and delightful stay.

beautiful hotel, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The ambiance was stunning, with tasteful decor and immaculate cleanliness throughout. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction was pleasant, and their attentiveness really made our stay special.

This property is not for the person looking for a modern property. There are a lot of steps not good for mobility restricted however the entire town is not and the gardens are not either.

We were visiting the area to visit the Edward James sculpture gardens snd this hotel is history rich as its owned and operated by the relatives of Edward James and they enhanced our experience with the personal history of Edward James, the gardens and his personal life. The hotel is very centrally located easy walk to town, restaurants. The staff is amazing, the family welcomes you into their home. If your looking to get the complete experience of the gardens, Edward James life this hotel is your spot. They do have AC and a pool area, comfortable beds and the breakfast is perfect on property. On site parking.

The age shows and it brings down the comfort level, especially in the bathroom.

Beautiful and charming historic place. Very big room and delicious breakfast a la carte. They have a book with some of the history of the place that you can buy. Unfortunately we left in a hurry an forgot to buy it!

It would have been nice particularly on a wet and cold day to have some tea and coffee making facilities available

Fantastic historic house in the centre of Xilitla with easy access to Edward James garden and Leonora Carrington museum. Excellent breakfast. Excellent resources related to the life Edward James and garden available.

It is a completely amazing house and the story behind it and the family who still look after it, is well worth the experience.

Stairs up to the higher rooms can be a bit steep and treacherous -- but luckily the staff helped carry up all of our luggage.

Great place to stay while in Xilitla. The location is great right off the main street. The building itself has a fascinating history as the place where Edward James stayed (and the family that owns it are related to Plutarch, Edward James' close friend). Pool is wonderful, AC is great, and rooms are comfortable.

The staff is incredible! super clean and magical. The breakfast was delicious and very well portioned. This is a historical place and you can feel how well it’s taken care of. It’s conveniently located to the plaza and you can purchase private tours for the Edward James garden directly through them.

need a little more attention to the building itself , to keep it up .

Great Story!

It would’ve been great to have Wi-Fi in the rooms, but it was clearly stated that there was only Wi-Fi in the common areas and since it’s an older unusual house it was totally understandable.

The hotel was full of history and art, such a nice complement to our visit to the Edward James surrealist Gardens.
