We spent 2 nights at the Hotel Taselotzin, one of our best experiences in Mexico. The hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the centre of Cuetzalan along very steep roads. Our rooms were simple but attractively decorated. The restaurant serves excellent and very reasonably-priced breakfasts and authentic local dinners. There's a shop selling hand-embroidered items, soaps and other products made by members of the cooperative that runs the hotel – almost a better choice that's available at the Sunday market, plus you can be secure in the knowledge that the items that you're buying really are locally produced and that the profits really go to the producers. Almost all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

A friendly, unique place to stay.

For the money, Mexico has more to offer than any of the many countries I have been fortunate enough to behold. Cuetzalan is absolutely amazing.  It is a trip back in time, complete with cobblestone streets, quaint architecture, an amazing market, and a mountain vibe.  The Hotel Taselotzin is operated by an indigenous women's cooperative.  They offer many articles for sale which they make themselves, including clothing, woven baskets, herbal tinctures, soaps and salves, and more.  The rooms are CLEAN, clean clean.  The embroidered sheets feel like linen.  The towels are so nice.  It was cold when we were there and I had many blankets, so was nice and comfortable.  Wi fi works well in the lobby area. You can expect hot water in the shower.  On top of all that, the service is genuine, friendly, and professional.  They have a small restaurant there, where we took several meals; they were all authentic and served on native-made pottery.  These people and this place contributed immensely to my enjoyment of Cuetzalan.  Beware that it is extremely hilly and steep there, and this hotel is near the top.  We arrived at night and it was pitch dark, so I had no idea what to expect.  My apprehension was abated immediately once I saw the cute lobby and nice, comfortable room.  I felt completely safe there as well.

The Real Mexico

We loved Cuetzalan. The Sunday market is not to be missed. The street food during  the market was excellent. This is a small mountain town, so don’t expect a thriving night life. All the restaurants we visited, we enjoyed. Luna Azul isuare a very good one. The streets are stone and are steep. If you have any mobility issues this may not be the place for you. We wanted to do some off the grid hiking. We went to the tourist office in the square near the church and they called an English speaking guide. The guides name is Jamie Juarez his personal number is 0012331264614. He gave us an excellent off the grid hike. He also offers many other hikes as well. His English is very good and could be a big help in a town that pretty much speaks only Spanish. 3 days was enough in this town, if you visit start on a Sunday when the market is happening. The hotel was ok, but in top a hill.

Exploring Cuetzalan 

Rooms are clean. Staff are professional. It's a 15-minute walk to the downtown area. Also, they arrange for all sorts of activities around the area like horseback-riding, rappelling, and four-wheeling to waterfalls.

Quiet and relaxing

This is a beautiful, while simple hotel.  The staff, who belong to an indigenous women's cooperative (great cause), are wonderful people who aim to please. Although the guest rooms do not have TVs, they usually have WiFi (unless you're there during a storm), and they offer a Temaxcal (sweat lodge) and sell handmade clothing and herbal medicines.  They have a restaurant on the premises, as well as a small bar.  They will also arrange for you to go on tours of the local area, including visits to the pyramids, waterfalls, etc. It is a beautiful, relaxing place, which I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms were nothing fancy but the beds were comfortable with lots of warm blankets. The shower didn't have tons of water pressure but it was relatively hot. We enjoyed the massages we got and also the meals we had in the restaurant (especially breakfast and the delicious coffee). Although it's a little bit of a hike up and down to the centro (you can also take a combi), it's worth it to be in this peaceful hotel. We did a tour with nearby Descubre Cuetzalan that was also lots of fun.
