“Great location, skip the free breakfast”

Hotel del Portal

Nov 13, 2007

We stayed here for a few nights in October. The front desk was friendly enough. However, you're supposed to leave your key at the desk when you leave the hotel and it can be a little annoying to get it back when you return to the hotel if there is only one person at the desk and a long line of folks checking in.

There were some young kids- like a middle school field trip- the first night we were there. They were a bit obnoxious, knocking on our doors and generally being loud. This is really not the fault of the hotel and it didn't come to the point that we had to report them.

The rooms are a bit old, but they provide plush towels and hand towels, along with bottled water. We had a room overlooking the zocalo, which was loud until about 11pm, then the city seed to go to sleep. The view was worth it.

The breakfast was not really worth bothering with. The toast served is a product unique to Mexico- pan tostado- which I know translates into toast, but this stuff is a little different. It's more like big slices of melba toast, not bad, just not toast like most Americans are used to! There are tons of other cafes around the zocalo, so you won't go hungry. You can go to McDonald's for hotcakes or try one of the more traditional Mexican places.

“Stay Only if You Must”

Sadly, this hotel could be great, the location on the main Zocalo in the lovely city of Puebla has a great old fachade, Inside the disappointment begins at the reception desk, where the employees are not only not helpful, but blase and rude. The rooms are ugly and small, carved out of what must have once been a grand space. The halls are like canyons, echoing the loud shouting by young guests far into the early morning hours. Despite complaining to beg for quiet by 2 am, the staff did nothing and lied that those quests would be leaving the following day. Thus the following night we suffered the same. The free continental breakfast was nothing more than toast made sometime in the past century, undrinkable coffee and a few slivers of fruit. Parking is provided down the block, but only overnight, so you are on your own if you don't want to pay during the day. Did I mention the beds are hard and the pillows lumpy? Few rooms face the street, so most have no natural light. I had hot water, but my traveling friends did not.
