Staff very friendly food was excellent... Very clean close to important sights...

Sin WI FI sin teléfono,

I really like that this hotel utilized the area and the culture to maintain a theme unlike so many hotels that are colorless and bland and you feel like you could be anywhere instead of Mexico. My stay at this hotel enhanced my overall experience in visiting Mexico.

The hotel facilities were lovely. Most of the rooms face the inner atrium which houses the pool and hotel restaurant. I guess my one suggestion would be to have a stronger central wifi system.

We loved our stay here! Very close to pyramids and church. It felt secluded yet close walking distance to everything we wanted to see. The hotel staff was very accommodating and helped us get a taxi to airport. Restaurant had a great menu and food was very good. Loved the pool, my 4 young children and husband all enjoyed our stay here!

Grounds were beautiful as well as pool area, except the pool wasn't clean. The rooms were nicely designed, but the walls and closets had mold from apparently unsealed spots on roof or walls. Our clothes were damp from staying just one night and smelled like mold. The food was good in the restaurant, but the service was super slow. We waited 20 minutes for service until my husband got up and had to speak to the waiter. Service was worse after that. Breakfast service was great, however. Great location near the pyramid.

The hotel is beautiful and has a unique archaeological decor, matching the main attraction of the temple ruins practically across the street. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially considering that we spoke very little Spanish. In addition the pool is gorgeous and the food incredible.

Short walk to pyramid and a hopping eatery/pub lane. Uber service made it easy to explore further out in Puebla as well. Nice, too, to just sit out on patio area by pool and enjoy the temperate weather.

We just stayed one night but that was enough to enjoy the peaceful place and ate at their restaurant which food was delicious!!! It's just across the main Church which is built on top of the largest pyramid of the world! We loved Cholula!

Decent hotel with decent service. Great location ! Be advised this hotel does not have A/C in the rooms as indicated by Hotels.com. It did get hot in the room but the front desk provided a fan.

If you plan on working from your room using internet this is not the hotel for you. The arrangement of the room does not allow for much more than just sleeping there. Internet is at best very slow and most of the time unavailable in the room. When this was pointed out to the front desk their answer was that I could come use the internet in the lobby. The room was very clean, but the main bed is surrounded by walls on three sides. For a couple it would mean a person is trapped in it. The cable TV service was very poor quality. The restaurant was great, good food and very friendly and accommodating staff.

Overall good stay

I ended in another hotel. Simply could not stay there. Old, smelly dirt beds, dirt bath. It is the same hotel since the 1980's. All outdated. Worst WiFi ever. Stay away from this hotel.

The hotel is very nice. Spanish style building, with a large courtyard and a nice swimming pool (though the water was cold!). The room was small but cozy, with a twin and a full size beds. I had a bit of trouble with the TV remote, but that was no big deal since I wasn't there to watch TV. I'm not sure if the room had A/C as the weather wasn't hot enough to need it. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful with whatever I needed. My only problem was that sound carries in this place. You can hear people talking in the courtyard, people eating at the restaurant, and the music being played out by the pool. This was only a thing on the weekend, when the hotel comes alive with weekend guests. So, bring earplugs if you want to sleep in on the weekend. Aside from this, this hotel is great! Other great reasons to stay here include proximity to the pyramid and the Zocalo de Cholula, as well as many of the local churches and exconvents.

We've stayed here at least a half dozen times before -- we love it. Walking distance from downtown Cholula, as well as the side of town full of amazing street art. We'll be back!

The most amazing colonial hotel in the Archeological site!

The rooms are arranged around a courtyard and swimming pool (which no one was using). On two of my three mornings I enjoyed an excellent breakfast outside. The bedroom was smart but also rustic, with red tiled floor and white stone walls.

My husband and I stayed here for a week during his summer break from school. We loved how beautiful, quiet and peaceful the hotel was, and the price was very reasonable. All of the staff were very nice and helpful. We weren't able to enjoy the pool as the weather was a little on the cool and rainy side during our visit, but it was lovely to sit next to it and read. The WiFi service was not good in our room, but was fine out in the courtyard. The bed itself was fine, but having two sides of it integrated into the wall made it hard for the person sleeping on the inside to get up without disturbing the other person still sleeping. There was a sign in the main lobby that advertised several of the different tourist attractions in Cholula and Puebla, including mountain bike rentals and riding, but when we asked the concierge about it, she said there was no place to rent bikes in Cholula and no guiding service. I was disappointed by that, but we found other things to do. Overall, this hotel is a great value and we would stay here again.

Hotel was way run down. Shower rod rusty all the way, the lamp shade sported a perfectly sprayed edge and last but not least.... there was a one inch hole in one shower towel. All that, I could stand (really) but neither in-room air conditioning nor a plain fan?? They told us it's usually cold in Cholula/Puebla. It's not so much anymore... (climate change?) We needed a pressing iron, which was not available in the room,but immediately at the reception, provided you go get it. While at it.. we asked for a fan which the lady in charge said there was none available. A little later I called the reception to ask again for a fan, room was way warm. This time the gentleman in charge said there were no fans but he manged to find and send one to our room. A big, super noisy (taken from an office, maybe) yet super efficient fan! The guy in charge resolved the matter accordingly, kudos to him. This was Saturday July 11, 2014, at around 10 pm The room was overall comfortable and that's why I would recommend this hotel, they still hold the ambience from when they were owned (still are? Not sure if it still exists...?) by Club Med. They should work on those little details for they're not the only 3-star (or more) hotel in the area anymore, like they were back in the 80's

This hotel and every one of these Villas Archeologicas are my favorite in Mexico. This place is very clean and beyond safe. Theres also a mini strip of drinking joints next door that are also safe and mello. Lots of loose dogs wandering around though. (I saw them doing some scratching so stay away) Parking is included in a lot that closes it's gate at eleven. The rooms surround a really sweet courtyard with a small but nice swimming pool. One downside is the beds ain't the softest and are in these kind of porticos that person six foot plus may be annoyed with. Didn't bother me but some may not dig it. Excellent restaurant and the staff are very helpful and always polite. I don't care if this sounds like a bogus reveiw but for the money these hotels are always the closest to the ancient Mexican sites. Totally the one to stay at.

Where to start.. There was a problem with the reservation I made. I had paid in advance through Hotels.com but the hotel did not see it in their system and wanted me to pay again! A 20 minute phone call to Hotels.com however fixed it and it was fine after. The hotel grounds are beautiful. And walking around gave me a nice relaxing feeling. There is a pool in the courtyard that looked real inviting, but it was unheated and I would had been crazy to jump in during the middle of winter. The room they gave me was small and segmented so into little cubby holes, one for each of the beds, another for the desk. The bathroom as well. It's the kind of layout I would have loved as a kid, but as an adult I think I prefer things a little more open. Still, it was maintained very well and if nothing else was a lot more interesting than other typical hotel rooms. Wifi worked well throughout the complex and at the desk in my room, but not in the bed a few feet away. I suspect the compartmented nature of the room with all the heavy walls probably reakef Havoc with the signal. The shower was pretty nice with modern hardware and the water was almost instantly hot which is a lot more than I can say for other hotels. The location was okay. Besides the pyramid which was about a 5-10 min walk there was not much in the area and the streets are dark at night and not too pedestrian friendly. Central Cholula with most of the businesses is on the far side of the pyramid and about a 10-15 min walk. I found other hotels in Central that advertised a lower walk up rate, than what I found online, but they were not as nice. I'd be likely to stay here again if the price is a little lower next time, or they could offer a larger room for the same price.

Visiting Puebla for a tournament and booked Villa Arqueologica based on photos and reviews. Charming place, comfortable room, homey touches. Cholula is a nice city, the people are friendly and we visited during festival time, so we got to participate in several church festivals. Only downside to our stay was the afternoon rain storms (and drop in temperature), which came just about every day by 5pm - because we were out most of the day, only to return in the evening, we never got to take advantage of the warm afternoon (before it rained) and the beautiful pool.

Good hotel, priced correctly. Service needs to improve in order to satisfy demanding clients.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and quite enjoyed it and Cholula. The hotel is located on the other side of the pyramid from town, but it was a pleasant walk to the zocolo and the mercado in one direction and Container City in another. The view of the pyramid was stunning and worth the climb. The hotel was very clean and most of the staff were very professional. The restaurant staff took a while to come around and service improved over the course of our stay. However, Jesus, the maitre'd, was outstanding and we would have enjoyed spending more time talking to him and getting to know him better. Although there were reviews elsewhere that complained about the comfort of the beds, it must depend on which room because ours were great! The walls are a little thin when the neighbours decided to watch TV at three in the morning at full volume. The hotel is overall lovely, large and very quiet. Rooms are on three sides of a spacious courtyard containing a nice-sized pool. The restaurant and general hotel access are on the fourth side. When we visit Cholula again, we will most likely stay here.

Good: Close to the Great Pyramid. Not so good: Beds are hard as rocks, dark rooms. Pool not very clean or maintained. Local celebration (virgin being moved from Church on Pyramid) meant fireworks going off around the clock making sleep difficult.

Staying at Villa Arqueologica was a very pleasent surprise! I did not expect it to be as charming! Very authentic and beautiful little hotel..I would stay here again any time.

This was our first stay at this hotel. We were very impressed with the cleanliness, the charm and the "real" Mexican experience. It was close to the Pyramid, downtown, and the track! We would walk to the track every morning and do a bit of exercise, then go to La Lunita for breakfast (much less expensive than the hotel, although we ate at the hotel many times for convenience). The pool was small, but it was perfect for the amount of guests staying at the hotel. The staff waited on us like we were royalty! We are going to stay there whenever we visit Cholula. Bring ear plugs because there isn't any AC and you need to keep the window open for the cool air. The dogs bark and there are fireworks during the holidays.

hotel pictures are deceving , for one the std room is crowded with two beds , no choice ! the web page shows rooms with air condition , is false NO AIR ,the 'featured pool' is dirty and just big enough for kids , the location sucks, unless you have a car or just want to hang around the hotel, you'll be waking on the hiway , the hotel's restaurant is very expensive , only good thing is the Piramid is accross the hiway , rigth there !
