Casa Valladolid Boutique Hotel is on Calle 44 in the Candelaria district, close to the centre of Valladolid and a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and the main square. It is a mid-range property with an outdoor pool and sun loungers, a terrace and garden, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and concierge help. Room types run from a standard double to suites with terraces, a family room that sleeps up to six and a luxury suite with a private pool. The restaurants and bars of the old town are on foot, and the cenotes and Chichén Itzá are an easy drive.
The position suits an evening-focused stay. Within a few minutes' walk you reach the cathedral of San Gervasio, the plaza and several well-known restaurants, including El Mesón del Marqués, and the Calzada de los Frailes and the convent are a pleasant walk beyond. After a long day at the ruins or the cenotes, you can be at dinner within minutes and back at the hotel without a taxi. The tourism offices, markets and shops of the centre are all close, which makes it a good base for travellers who like to explore on foot.
The rooms are varied, which is useful if you travel with others. A standard double suits a couple on a short stay, the classic suite has a king bed and extra space, the junior suite adds a terrace, and the deluxe double with a balcony overlooks the pool. Families can use the triple room, and those celebrating something can take the luxury suite with its private pool.
The main pool is a welcome refuge in the afternoon heat, though one recent guest found the water unheated and cool, so ask the hotel what to expect in winter. Breakfast is cooked to order for an extra charge rather than included, and there is no restaurant on site, so plan your meals around the neighbourhood.
What to know
The hotel does not offer parking, so if you have a rental car ask where to leave it nearby, and consider a taxi or a tour for the ruins instead of driving yourself. Guest scores are excellent for cleanliness, staff and location across a large number of reviews, which makes it one of the most consistently praised options in town.
It suits couples, friends and families who want a central, comfortable hotel with a pool and some character. Reserve early for busy weeks, ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper, and make an early start for Chichén Itzá, which is under an hour away.
