Great place close to old...
Liked: Family property in the historical centre - just few blocks from amazing street Independencia and Cathedral.Very nice hosts - couple, their little boy and well educated dog KiraVery good breakfest - prepared in family kitchen in front of you.Nature sounds in early morning and roosters as an alarm.Change of towels every day.
Disliked: Could be cleaner in the bathroom.The garden is big but a little messy.

Great stay in Tlaquepaque.
Liked: This was one of the nicest Bed & Breakfast places that I have ever stayed in anywhere. It's a family run operation and I would stay stay there again on any return visits to Tlaquepaque. It's a 5 minute walk to the tourist zone around Jardin Hidalgo. Many good restaurants and bars throughout this area, so with live Mariachi music. This area is one of my favorite areas in the Guadalajara area - a true Pueblo Magico. Breakfast is good and the host gives you a choice of options to have. The fresh fruit, coffee and Mexican style scrambled eggs that I had were wonderful. The property is huge inside and has a beautiful backyard I just loved spending time there. It's peaceful and quiet at night and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Please give this place a try the next time you come to Tlaquepaque. You will want to keep coming back there again and again. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality you displayed to me during my visit there!😉😊💓
Disliked: Nothing.

Nice place.
Liked: This was a lovely place. The owners were kind and helpful, going above and beyond. They made us breakfast at the crack of dawn so we could get fed before an early flight, they found cardboard boxes to help us get our ceramics home in one piece, and gave us local advice. The garden was as nice as other people had said, and the room was good too. The shower was the only one of the four places we stayed on this trip that worked well. The hot water showed up in a reasonable amount of time, the temp stayed consistent and didn't switch chaotically back and forth from scalding to freezing, the shower head had decent flow, and the drain worked. (This shouldn't be so unusual). The location is good, a short walk from a nice pedestrian area with lots of activity, lots of comfortable benches to sit and people watch, ok restaurants, and loads of craft shops. We were a bit tired from the earlier parts of the trip, so it was nice to just wander and hang out. All in all, the place felt well cared for and well loved. I don't know if we will end up in Guadalajara again, but if we did, we would certainly consider coming back to this hotel.
Disliked: Not much. It's always nice to have a small fridge and good coffee machine in the room, so I suppose that would be nice. The breakfasts were good, but the coffee was a bit weak. These are minimal, more like ways it could be better than anything actually wrong.

Disappointing stay at Casa del Retono
Liked: Location is excellent, about 5 minutes from the center. The host, Luis his young son, Adrian and especially the dog, Kida were very welcoming and friendly. We stayed for two nights and Kida demanded long tummy rubs from me.
Disliked: Room is very very basic and small without air conditioning. Fortunately, temperature outside was comfortable when we visited. Toilet is so small that it is difficult to close the door. Room feels even smaller due to too much clutter and unnecessary chairs. Breakfast is nothing to write home about. We spent two and half months in Mexico and it was our worst hotel. We selected it based on the reviews. Guess reviews can be misleading.
