It was then occupied as an army quarter by the Orient Army that would defend the city on May 5, 1862.Camino Real Puebla has 84 rooms and suites decorated in the purest Viceroyship-era style and received the ?Four Diamond Award? granted by the American Automobile Association.Location:In the heart of the noble and heroic city of Puebla you can find the buildings that are closer to the Spanish architectonic influence, with its fusion elements from the Viceroyship era. That is why taking a walk down its street is a pleasure for the senses and an invitation to imagine how our cultural crossbreeding took place.Area:It is located a few steps away from the historical center?s main attractions, 5 minutes away from the Puebla Conventions Center, 15 minutes away from the main malls, 15 minutes away from the main industrial parks, 30 minutes from the Hermanos Serd?n Airport, and two hours away from the Benito Ju?rez Airport from Mexico City.Recreation:As a way to provide a better service for our guests, we offer our tobacco shop, where our guests will be able to find a wide variety of names and accessories for the art of good smoking.

the front desk does not exist. Bar tenders, when asked where to check in, did not even respond. Unfriendly and disinterested staff. Filthy everywhere. dust months old. Elevator got stuck. It is called a 5 star, but does not even deserve 1. One towel for two people. No solid soap, just one small vial for two people. Broken and cracked ceramic tile in bath. Lighting in bath almost non-existing. Coffee in room was offered for $2.- a cup, but could be made. Water bottle offered for $ 2.-. No pool, no exercise room. Dining and bar too expensive compared with adjoining restaurants and hotels. My wife and I had room # 305, very small. SWe will never stay there any more, compared with other Camino Reals we have liked thru-out.

While the historic beauty and unique colonial character of this hotel is breath-taking (it is a 16th century converted convent), the physical need of a comfortable bed (ours was beyond hard, like a concrete slab with a sheet) puts our experience with this hotel as negative. The room also smelled very musty. We will not return to this establishment.

The Camino Real-Puebla Centro Historico is located in a former convent very close to the Cathedral, and the public areas are lovely. However, the two rooms I have used both showed some wear and tear, as well as some quirks which might be viewed as endearing or annoying, depending on your outlook. The beds were comfortable, the shower functioned well, but the A/C made quite a racket. Sometimes, in a strange city, it's nice to have a place--lobby bar or pool, for example--where other travelers might gather, a place condusive to conversation. This hotel does not have any such place, unfortunately.

The hotel offers an historical ambiance in a great location. It is well maintained and peaceful. One can experience the perfect weather by relaxing in the courtyard. It is not luxurious or replete with amenities (swimming pool, workout room) because of its historical nature. It was quiet because it was not fully occupied. We saw the potential for it being noisy due to loud spots in the floor, courtyard conversations and loud doors.

This was a wonderful experience in the middle of a historic city to stay in an historic hotel. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The dining facilities in the courtyard of the old convent beautiful. The rooms with the old decor very nice--along with the updates to make it more usable. The location was close to all we wanted to do. The only thing an upscale hotel as this could have done diffderntly was to provide free coffee form their room coffee makers.
