Casa Chikita — Hotel in Michoacán

I loved the design of this really well situated b&b. It is obvious that a lot of work has gone into it with vibrant colour schemes and really bice pieces of art on the walls by the the owner, Salvador. Both Aline and Salvador were great hosts and more than happy to pass on recomendations for restaurants, bars and places of interest. They organized an English speaking guide for my trip to Paricutin (my main reason for being in Uruapan) which turned out to be a truely memorable day. The rooms (I had two in the end due to a leak in the bathroom of the first room due to the monsoon like rains that occured whilst I was there!) were really tastefully decorated, the beds very comfortable, bathrooms clean, plenty of hot water and bottle water provided as well and overlooked a fantastic central courtyard.||The breakfast provided was really fresh with fresh fruit, breads and real coffee, plus a nice chat with line thrown in too!||My only negative point, and it is a big one unfortunately, is the noise from the Irish pub literally downstairs from the b&b. I drank in this place a number of times and found it really nice but the issue was the karaoke style music going on until at least 4 in the morning on two of the nights I was there. I am no stranger to loud music as I am a musician in a very loud Irish band in the UK but even I found this intrusion too much. Sort the noise issue out please and I would not hesitate in returning as the b&b was...

The Casa Chikita is everything we could have expected. We were traveling through Uruapan and needed to make a quick buying trip. The Casa Chikita was recommended to us by friends and we immediately became fast friends with the owners Aline and Salvador. The place used to be Salvadors grandmother's home, if I'm not mistaken, and they have converted it into a bed and breakfast. Grandma did a great job preserving the place and Salvador and Aline have done an excellent job of converting it into a B&B. You really feel at home. Salvador is quite the artist and aficionado of local culture, we could have spent hours talking and my only wish would be to have a few more days and have him as my tour guide of the local area (next time). Aline was a lovely host and prepared a most excellent breakfast, we ended up chatting for hours around the table and were late for our next stop past Patzcuaro. We were such great company that we didn't even take advantage of their wi-fi catch up on emails and the demands that connectivity place on us. One of the best parts of staying at Casa Chikita is the quaint Pub a few doors down, not loud, great music, superb beers and great crowd. When we are back in Uruapan, we are definitely staying at Casa Chikita, and I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to get to know...

We stayed at Casa Chikita for a week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts are very welcoming and knowledgeable about local sites and dining options. ||||We opted out of the breakfast option because the price was higher than what our budget allowed. The hosts were very accommodating about that. ||||The room was bright, clean and serviced every day with fresh towels and bottled water. The only challenge was access to the parking lot. We travel on motorcycles and were very happy that the parking lot was secure; however we couldn't access it after 2pm without asking the owner to unlock the door for us. It would have helped if we were given a spare garage key while residing there. It was a minor problem, but worth mentioning. ||||Overall, we enjoyed Uruapan very much and would stay at the Casa Chikita again...
