Mesón Cuévano

Guanajuato


Superbly renovated hotel with rough stone walls, exposed wooden roof beams, lots of art and all round great insulation from the heat of the day and cold of the night. The backstreet location ensures a quiet night. A huge picture of a typewriter hangs above the breakfast tables. At these rates this place is hard to beat.
