Very central, in the part of the old city. Beautiful roof top. Very nice view of the city from this point. Bar on the top floor. Mariachi events on Saturdays. Beautiful old paintings hanging on the walls. Full of history. The water fountain on the lobby is very charming.

Great character at a good price

The location is fantastic. Right next to the main square and close to the markets. The building was built in 1610 and had a great deal of character

Historic and it shows

Great rooftop views of the city. Loud if there is a band on the roof until 11. The bathroom had black mold throughout the grout and aged features. We paid $102 Canadian and it was more like a $60 value.

Perfect place to feel the vibes and charm of Centro Guadalajara.

The location was great.. in the heart of the city. within walking distance of food and points of interest. The hotel was wonderful.. full of character, history and charm.. love the Juliet doors. The staff were very accommodating and were full of knowledge about the history of the building and info about the city.

I really enjoyed exploring beautiful Guadalajara, and loved coming back to welcoming Hotel Frances.

I loved my room on the second floor, with a balcony and street view. The location of the hotel was perfect, walking distance to so many attractions, and in middle of the hustle and bustle of a big city. Beautiful views from the roof of the hotel.

Best place to stay in Guadalajara downtown

Very pleasant staff, historical building with a nice atmosphere, absolutely downtown, short walk to restaurants, bars and museums, roof terrace with an incredible view to City and Cathedral, a movie with Charles Bronson was filmed there, for breakfast you just go through a door into a local breakfast restaurant with full food, fruits, juices, coffee, hotel organizes tours to Tequila,
