The Del Carmen is great facility with very helpful staff, beautiful comfortable rooms, and a good location. I would highly recommend the “chia” restaurant for its food, service, community vibe and its manager Morris (sp?). The only con was that the front desk does not appear to be 24 / 7 and we arrived late, due to a delayed flight.

Fantastic location. Del Carmen is right in the middle of restaurants and shopping and just a short walk to Guadalajara's historic centre. The attached restaurant provides great value and we enjoyed both our lattes and breakfast. I highly recommend Del Carmen.

The room was well decorated with cool art. Staff seemed really nice…but that’s about it. Our key worked half the time. The other half we had to get someone from the staff to let us in since the key would not work. They said they were going to get a locksmith to fix the issue but that never happened. Also, it is very loud with the lobby/restaurant downstairs. They set up a weekend brunch nice and early and you can hear all the table being dragged and set up. And last but not least, we had no hot water to shower with the last two days. Would not recommend and will not be back.

The hotel concept is charming, we stayed there before. BUT currently in 2022 several of the hotel items (elevators, phones, TVs) are broken or in need a major repairs. The roof leaks in some rooms. What’s more frustrating is that hotel administration is dismissive and unresponsive of the guests concerns, and request. While the day-to-day staff is nice, they can’t solve most issues and only provide an email address for the “supervisor” who was supposedly out of town, didn’t bother to reply an email explaining several of the hotel issues. The hotel staff doubles up as the restaurant staff (Chai), so it seems like the restaurant downstairs is the main priority and the hotel rooms are mostly ignored. Please avoid this hotel until the management decides to resolve the leaky room, the broken elevator, the lack of internet, and the broken phone and no signal TVs! El concepto de hotel es encantador, nos alojamos antes allí. PERO actualmente en 2022, varios de los elementos del hotel (ascensores, teléfonos, teles) están descompuestos o necesitan reparaciones URGENTES. El techo gotea en algunas habitaciones. Lo que es más frustrante es que la administración del hotel es desdeñosa y no responde a las preocupaciones y solicitudes de los huéspedes. Si bien el personal en el hotel es cortes no pueden resolver la mayoría de los problemas ¡Evite este hotel hasta que la gerencia decida resolver las fugas, el ascensor roto, la falta de Internet, el teléfono roto y TV sin señal!

The rooms are super cute. Very unique and trendy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also loved that lots of attractions were walking distance (la catedral, el Mercado San Juan de Dios, y Hospicio Cabañas). There were a few problems with the climate in our room. It had a strong smell of humidity and it was super hot. But the staff was super helpful and accommodated us in a different room right away. Also, there is a restaurant downstairs so be ready to wear earplugs if you do not wish to be woken up by the noise in the early morning.

The rooms were absolutely stunning and it was a great location, but it was so loud it wasn't worth it. There's restaurant noise from 7 am-12 am and between those time, the staff downstairs had loud music playing and were singing at the top of their lungs. From midnight to 7 am. Earplugs and white noise could only do so much, and it would be impossible to take a nap during the day with the loud music. Beautiful place, but disappointed with the execution.

The individual room decor was unique and user friendly. Unfortunately, the hot water was unreliable and the room safe wasn't functional. Also, I would recommend that earplugs be provided for the two rooms that face the front of the property - street noise is heavy and the windows don't insulate for sound.

Hotel above noisy restaurant
Lovely building and room but we hadn’t realised this was above a noisy restaurant. Loud music from 8am until 10.30pm both nights. Access is through the restaurant. We also had no hot water in the mornings. For the same money there are better places in Guadalajara.

The staff were friendly, my room was clean, and the food from the restaurant was good. However, the property operates more as a restaurant versus a hotel. The rooms are above the restaurant, and the noise is constant from early morning to late at night. Breakfast set up starts around 6 am and is very loud, so sleeping past 6 am is impossible.

Great Staff But They Locked Me Out!!!
Let’s start with the good: the staff and maid, Sylvia, were extra sweet. They were all so friendly and helpful. Now for the bad: the first night I had no hot water and the phone in the room did not work. The second night I had hot water but it took for the entire duration of my stay 10-12 minutes to heat up. Cold water would just pour until even luke-warm water would come out. On Wednesday night I stayed out past 1:30am and had was locked out of the hotel. Thankfully they heard my knocks and the front desk manager woke up and let me in. This happened again on Thursday night but this time I had to sleep at my friends hotel a mile away because at 3:30am no one was awake and didn’t answer our constant knocks and phone calls. When i complained and asked for one night credit they instead offered me a free breakfast which i never received ( i still think I am owed one nights credit). Finally when I checked out this morning at 6:45am i had to wake the front desk up and he couldn’t give me a copy of my folio as the manager had to draw it up for me. I understand they are a boutique hotel and it is super cute place but they need to do a little better in terms of making sure there is 24 hour access to the hotel.

I love the unique decor in every room . Staff is amazing 😉 delicious food from below Chai restaurant . It is central location in downtown. The Church across from it is beautiful. The cleaning Lady is fabulous. The bed is confortable. The sheets are nice. The price is right. The area is ok not the best area but it is downtown close to everything just Uber everywhere and I had no issues.

Best Hotel in downtown Guadalajara
This hotel is small, quaint and absolutely charming. The staff here is incredibly helpful, and a few speak perfect English. The associated restaurant, Chai, has a delicious menu - I haven't eaten anywhere else in the 2 weeks I've been here. There are only 8 or 9 rooms (I have stayed in two of them). I would recommend booking the master suite or a room that overlooks the park.

The property is beautiful and each room has a different theme which I loved . The restaurant Chi which is part of the hotel has very good food/. The only thing I was a little disappointed was that the property has no parking. Also one of the nights there was a lot of noise coming from the neighboring building which kept me up all night.
