Hotel Quinta Allende

Querétaro


A good value and architecturally interesting city-center option. The front half of the hotel is housed within a tenderly restored old building made up of arches and domes, but many of the rooms are in a far less eye-pleasing modern construction. Even so, the rooms are huge, bright and spotless and most overlook a garden.
