About this property

Welcome to Hotel Hidalgo

Housed in a Colonial-style building dating back to 1825, Hotel Hidalgo offers a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Santiago de Querétaro's historic Centro district.

Guests have praised the food quality and friendliness of the restaurant staff, making it an appealing choice for dining on-site.

The hotel provides practical amenities such as free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry service, room service, and airport shuttle, while maintaining a smoke-free environment. Rooms tend to be small and basic, with some guests noting the furniture is minimal and windows may be limited or positioned high.

Excellent hotel and excellent location. My balcony room was not ready when we arrived but I was compensated with breakfast vouchers and the food was fantastic. The rooms are good size and clean. I loved opening the balcony and enjoyed people watching as the street was packed and Xmas decorations were beautiful. I would definitely be back !

Centrally located hotel with no parking. They were kind enough to hold our baggage for free after checkout. Appreciated the free water refill stations throughout the hotel. Ok beds with enough pillows. The TV had enough channels to choose from. The toiletries were minimal. They gave us one free breakfast as a compliment. The room furniture was basic.

Beautiful almost 200 year old hotel with all the modem convenienes. Our room opened up to the street below so we were able to see and listen to the the street musicians playing classical music and watch the legend of the city performers. The courtyard restaurant is a real treat with natural light coming from above.
