Real de Minas is a big, friendly, full-facility hotel on the edge of the historic district, aimed at families, groups and drivers. It is a mid-range choice that offers things the small centre hotels cannot, such as extensive grounds, a playground, a pool for children and secured parking, and its rooms are comfortable and practical rather than boutique.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about a fifteen-minute walk from the Parroquia and the Allende Garden, which is a pleasant stroll into town but a longer one back at night, so taxis are useful. The setting is on the quieter edge of the historic district. If you are driving, this is one of the easiest hotels in town to manage, with secured on-site parking available for a modest daily fee and space for larger vehicles by arrangement.
The rooms and facilities
Standard rooms are around 269 square feet, with a king bed or two double beds, and many can sleep three or more, which suits families and groups. There are also executive rooms and Junior Suites. The outdoor pool and children's pool have loungers and umbrellas, and there is a playground, a gym and a hair salon. Zeferino, the Mexican restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a café and bar cover lighter moments. Breakfast is cooked to order for a fee, so check whether it is included in your rate.
Who it suits and what to know: families with children, groups of friends, and travellers arriving by car who want space, a pool and easy parking. There is no elevator, so ask for a ground-floor room if stairs are difficult. Small pets are accepted for a fee, and free cancellation is available on selected rates. If you want to step out of the door and into the galleries, a hotel closer to the Jardín will save you the walk.
