Excelente vista, de vdd es maravilloso levantarse y ver las montañas y la ciudad de Zacatlan, y por la noche la vista de la ciudad iluminada es magnifica, buen lugar de estacionamiento, cuartos limpios con calefacción, no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente. La subida pada entrar es algo empinada y la entrada es en la carretera cerca de una curva, así que hay que tener mucha precaución al entrar. 1000% recomendado. Su restaurante, que queda bajando y cruzando la carretera (mucha precaución), tiene hermosas vistas tambien, buen precio y excelente sason
Very comfortable, clean, cozy and the view is stunning! We will definitely come back!
In all honesty, we chose this hotel as a last resort because all the other hotels in town were booked for Día de los Muertos weekend. I was initially worried about the location, but it turned out to be just a short seven-minute taxi ride from the town center. The best part was the incredible view of the city, something you just can’t get when staying in town. The room was fantastic: the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the sheets and mattress made for a cozy stay. We also loved the fire pit, which we enjoyed with some wine on a chilly night: it really hit the spot. Plus, the hotel had a game room with a large projector, so we watched a movie there, making the experience even more fun. As others have mentioned, the hotel has a restaurant across the road, with the same amazing view. The staff, especially Tania and John, went above and beyond, from arranging taxis to setting up the fire pit and ensuring we were comfortable both in our room and in the playroom. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a pleasant surprise.
Excelente hotel con vista espectacular de todo el pueblo de Zacatlán ! Me sorprendió su accesible precio con el tipo de habitaciones ya que todas son más bien suites con muy buen gusto en su decoración y son pocas por lo que no estas con mucha gente y es seguro. Para los que buscan siempre una buena cama como yo .. el colchón, sábanas y almohadas muy bien la calidad , y tiene caja fuerte , cafetera y lo mejor es que están súper limpias ! Tiene jardín grande, salón de juegos, área para hacer carne asada y fogata ! Así que ideal para rentar todo el hotel para hacer una reunión familiar o cumpleaños. El amanecer aqui es impresionante por la vista que tiene. Eso sí .. para desayunar o comer tienes que cruzar la carretera ( con cuidado) e ir a su restaurante con laberinto y área de juegos que también está hermoso y barato ! Altamente recomendable para descansar ya que es un hotel pequeño y a solo 5 minutos en auto del pueblo ! Me dijeron que estaban por abrir unas suites con dos recámaras con cocineta y salita así que seguro repetiré mi visita ! Que bonito ver proyectos locales y con personalidad sin ser ostentosos en pueblos de México. ???????? Me encantó y la gente muy amable !
We really enjoyed our stay at hotel altavista. The room was spacious and pillows,blankets and mattresses were comfortable. The hotel provided us with complementary coffee that combined with the view from our balcony was a highlight. The hotel has a restaurant on the other side of the road that has a playground too ans the breakfast is served there (the only point is that they start at 9 am and its a bit late if you have a child with you). The food was delicious but highlight for us was a dish called “chamoro”. We recommend this hotel and its restaurant and come back soon.
