Hotel Boutique Casa Don Gustavo — Hotel in Campeche

This is far more than a hotel…it is an oasis in Campeche, which, for people from the US is hot and humid and difficult. We were greeted by the lovely manager, Karina, who gave us all we needed for a great stay. Including cold lemonade! Our room was huge, with both air conditioning and a fan. The decor is lovely. The bathroom is nearly as large as the bedroom…it has a fantastic shower, separate toilet and bidet, two sinks. Like most places in Mexico, the hotel, grounds, and rooms are absolutely spotless. It is difficult to convey to people who have not traveled to Mexico how crucial cleanliness is to all Mexicans. They work constantly to keep things spotless. We slept so well here! Breakfast was included. The menu had so many suggestions and all came with fruit, sweet rolls, and delicious coffee. Our waiter, Ricardo, dressed in an impeccable white coat, sensed when we needed coffee. Mexican service cannot be bear. We both had delicious food on both mornings. We swam in the pool, which is small, but has chaises with fresh towels. We loved exploring Campeche, but in June it is quite hot and humid. Our hotel room provided us with an oasis of...

My suite at the hotel was very nice- a large bedroom and bathroom with lots of characterful furniture and storage space. Likewise, the rest of the hotel is very pretty with lots of character and green plants around. Breakfast was generous and delicious as you could order à la carte along with fruits and bread/cake basket. I was full so got a breakfast sandwich which I had to get wrapped to take away with me for the train.

Tons of restaurants and bars nearby. ||Disadvantages: that particular room has a window onto the stairs leading down to the courtyard and a second window and the door open onto the courtyard itself where the kitchen and breakfast are. Therefore I could hear staff at just past 6 am starting to get breakfast ready and chatting quite loudly with the courtyard acoustics amplifying it. At 8 am the...

If I had to describe our stay at Casa Don Gustavo, I'd say it was like being the guest in an affluent home a hundred years ago. Except we had a refrigerator and air conditioning. We splurged a little and stayed in one of the Master Suites for three nights. The suite was very comfortable, nicely furnished with a large bathroom. Breakfast was included and was very good. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the historic center of town and a short walk to the Malecon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will most likely stay there again on our next visit to Campeche. I will mention that it is an expensive hotel compared to some of the other nearby hotels, and for this visit we felt it was worth it. Although on our next visit we will probably consider staying in one of the...
