Olga Querida B&B Hostal

I stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. Location is good, a few blocks to the main avenue. The room is comfortable. There is a big living room and a huge kitchen to prepare meals. But most importantly, the hospitality of the owner, Ms. Lucy, was the best. She took care of arranging a tour and even at taxi at 6am for me. And the environment was very warm and welcoming.

I love Guadalajara, and I love it even more because of Olga Querida. From the moment of my arrival, I felt at home. Nearly every review mentions Lucy, she sets the bar for what a hotel host can be. The room exceeded my expectations, a comfortable clean bed, ceiling fan, and as much hot water as you want (just follow Lucy's clear instructions). With a room at the interior of the building, it was perfect silence in the night. There is included breakfast as well as a welcome to use the fridge and the kitchen. Drinking water is provided and there's always a morning newspaper in the lobby. The location is perfect for me, close to all the central tourist sites, great cafes and restaurants. In case you've never been to GDL, the centro historico and all the colonias to the west are considered to be very safe. I was perfectly comfortable as a woman traveling alone. If you get the chance to be in Guadalajara on Sunday, do it! They close down the main streets for the recreation and health of the residents from 8-2 and is is super cool. Bicycles, rollerbladers, skateboarders, barbie jeeps and more rule the streets and the parks are filled with people smiling, socializing, playing volleyball, chess, ping-pong, with aerial silks in a lovely tree in the park, it's alive with an unmatched spirit of commradarie. The beautiful heart of México breaks my heart every day so that it can grow bigger and bigger. And the food - people use words like life changing and transformative to describe meals here and its justified. If you are vegan like me, there are so many great places within 5 to 25 minutes walk. Art, culture, and food are within easy reach plus efficient public transit, ubers are always close, too. Have a great trip! Thank you, Lucy!!

Olga is a very affordable hostel, Lucy, the manager is amazing! she's caring and very helpful, also the place is spacious, quiet, clean and safe, I really enjoyed my stay here!

Absolutely wonderful. The best customer service and hostess I’ve ever met. Very clean and great location. I think this is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. I strongly recommend.

Staff is very kind.

I didn't give the hotel all stars for 2 reasons. First, I always had a hard time flushing the toilet because it would always get stuck. Lastly, we had just come from Puerto Vallarta and we got bit by small jelly fish like creatures, when we slept the first night we couldn't sleep because our skin was itchy we thought it was due to our tiny tiny bites. The next two nights it was the same thing, but now we thought it was due to mosquitos because we left the door open since it was hot (beginning of July) the next few night we kept having the same issue with hives on our skin, so I told the hotel keeper that the bed probably had bed bugs, but she insisted that our bites did not looked that they were due to bed bugs, she changed the sheets and cover and said that she inspected the bed and found nothing... I also checked .. but to be honest I wasn;t sure what I was looking for. So we stayed for a week and never really found out what it was. I stay at 5 different places and this was the only one where we didn't slept comfortably. Hotel keeper said that the previous couple wrote a review and didn't mentioned anything about bed bugs. Other than that service was great, they do laundry for 50 pesos, she can order uber for you we tried to our our app but it was easier for to do, she cleaned room when we asked, the area is safe, it its about 15 min walking to the Cathedral. Beware of taxis, they will overcharge you like you have no idea, walk, ask her to order an uber for you, use subway

After reading the other guests reviews, I can only add that they are accurate and that Lucy made a difference in my stay. The private room with balcony overlooking the courtyard was super pleasant and quiet. I enjoyed my stay a lot and even extended for several days. Definitely booking again when the same room will be available upon my return to Guadalajara. Thank you Lucy
