    “Great location, steps from the central square and beside a large park. The property is beautiful, lots of cool art throughout the property and rooms. Our room was nice. The service was excellent. We had a few things we needed help with and the staff was super attentive and had solutions to all our issues. Thanks for a lovely stay!”

    “Sort of boutique hotel Rooms are small. No view and nothing special Pool is ... Only location and valet are good More than 400usd for 20sqm average room with no view and even corridors front of your windows Cherry on the cake, no benefit to be with good Mariott statut Many hôtels in town... Better to go to another one”

    “AMAZING! The rooms were gorgeous. The food delicious. The service impeccable. The location PERFECT. Highly recommend this spot for any type of traveler! It was luxury but with a comfortable "home" feel, which is hard to do. And let's talk about the spa. Wow. They have a personal (solo) steam room, which is an extremely unique experience. You can steam and cold shower at the same time; they provide a scrub while in there as well. And the massage and facial were excellent. LOVED the spa experience here . Highly recommend this spot for all parts of travel — and highly recommend San Miguel as a destination.”

    “Wonderful hotel! Everything from the atmosphere, the rooms, the food, it was absolutely lovely. I stay in over 150+ nights a year and this was one of the most enjoyable hotels I have visited. I was here for business but the atmosphere made it feel like a vacation. But what really set this hotel apart was the staff. Everyone from the front desk, concierge, waitstaff and housekeeping were all top notch. When you take pride and are happy it shows and this hotel is doing it right. Hospitality at its finest:”

  • Horrendous. Avoid!!!

    “Went to San Miguel to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Told the hotel that it was his bday when making the reservation. We made a huge mistake of staying here. They didn’t acknowledge it in any way - no champagne, no card, no balloons. And we are BOTH gold members. The photos make it look glossy and shiny, but it’s not at all. It’s a horrible hotel. Terrible service and completely inattentive staff. First day we found long strands of black hair on the floor, second day a roach crawling across the nightstand. Furniture is dated and dirty. GUSTAVO at the front desk was defensive, dismissive and unhelpful when we complained. We checked out the next day and lost a day of our vacation to packing, and then unpacking at the new hotel. On top of it all - no apology and they’re refusing to refund our unused points. Do not stay here if you want a relaxing trip or to be made to feel special. This is not the place.”

  • Worst hotel in SMA.

    2/10

    OhMyGod123456 · Solo travel · 2026-04-27

    “If I could give this hotel 0 stars, I would. The check-in experience was horrendous. The receptionist spent most of the time explaining everything the hotel doesn’t offer: no upgrades, no late checkout, only one bottle of water per room, and any additional water comes with an extra charge. Even breakfast was disappointing — apparently only juice and toast are included, and anything else costs extra. To make matters worse, the concierge (last name Lopez) openly complained that the hotel owner dislikes the Marriott Bonvoy program, said the system “doesn’t work,” and mentioned they want to leave the program soon. What a terrible first impression. The entire atmosphere felt hostile and unwelcoming, as if nobody working there actually wanted to be there — probably because of poor management or ownership. Honestly, it’s no surprise I seemed to be the only guest staying at the hotel. There are countless better options in SMA. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.”

    “Hotel Matilda is a real jewel in San Miguel Allende. Our stay just happened to be during the recent disturbances in Mexico. San Miguel Allende might just be the safest place in North America, and so beautiful even during this time. The staff and management at Hotel Matilda have thought of everything to deliver the perfect vacation stay for their guest. From the Michelin experienced Chef to the Concierge team perfection in service. The Hotel is a beautiful design that fits into this UNESCO village in style and elegance. And I really enjoyed the size, I think it is only 30 rooms. This is the place to stay in San Miguel!!! 5 stars DC”

    “Great weekend experience at Matilda ! One of the best hotel properties in San Miguel. Great room, spotless clean, excellent amenities and in-room equipment, furniture and facilities. Amazing bed. Staff was really outstanding, Samantha, Carlos and the rest of the lobby team, as well as the cleaning and the Moxi staff were all superb. Make sure to check the great rooms offered to book the one that suits your particular needs best.”

    “Hotel Matilda lived up to its Michelin rating. Accommodations, service, food were excellent. Its location was perfect for exploring this amazing city, San Miguel. The concierges were super friendly and helpful in finding cool rooftop restaurants and places to see. What's very special is that almost everyone San Miguel ware pleasant and friendly. It is a historical site, which makes the visit very special.”

  • Great Hotel in SMA

    8/10

    arroymero · Couples · 2026-01-31

    “We stayed here three nights while visiting SMA. This hotel is pretty good in terms of location and quality. It is located on one of the nicest streets in this town. It is also really close to the town square and Parroquia. Our stay included continental breakfast, which consisted of toast, yogurt, granola, fruit, juice, and coffee. However, since we are vegan, we only enjoyed the fruit, toast with jam, and juices. Everyone at the hotel was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The reason I did not give it a full rating is because our room could use some maintenance/improvement in the bathroom, as one of the faucets leaked when closed and the toilet didn’t flush well. We could also hear exterior noises pretty good while inside our room with the door shut; we did have the room closest to the bar and pool though. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious- to my liking. Overall, I would return.”

  • Design-Forward Perfection & Unrivaled Service in San Miguel

    10/10

    “If you are looking for the perfect home base for a 3-night stay in San Miguel de Allende, Hotel Matilda is it. It is a high-design sanctuary that manages to feel both ultra-modern and incredibly welcoming. Personalized Service at its Finest The service here isn't just "good"—it’s deeply personal. The manager, Gustavo, was incredibly attentive and clearly cares about making every guest's stay perfect. The staff handled our restaurant recommendations and reservations with ease. Most impressively, when we purchased local art, they took the lead in contacting DHL to coordinate shipping sizes and pricing for us. It made what could have been a stressful process completely seamless. Vibe & Atmosphere The architecture is stunning, blending sleek modern lines with lush natural elements like the vibrant bougainvillea lining the walls. • The Playlist: The music throughout the property is modern and "vibey." I found myself constantly Shazaming their playlist to take a piece of the hotel’s atmosphere home with me! • The Retreat: Because it’s a smaller property, it feels like a private club. We often had the breakfast room or bar to ourselves, providing a quiet, sophisticated retreat from the busy streets of SMA. The Rooms & Spa Our rooms featured balconies overlooking a peaceful koi pond with beautiful views of the city. The bathrooms are impressively large and luxurious. • Family Travel: My kids shared a room which worked out perfectly, though it is worth noting for families that most rooms feature King beds. • The Spa: My family raved about their massages. The spa is excellent, and we found it very easy to get appointments during our stay. Location You are in the absolute heart of town. You get the benefit of being steps away from everything while maintaining a sense of total privacy once you step back inside the hotel gates. Summary Hotel Matilda is a "vibe" in the best way possible. From the art-centric design to the exceptional care from Gustavo and his team, it is easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. We loved the service at the front desk from Samantha, Gustavo & Christopher.”

  • Fantastic Perfect Boutique Hotel in the heart of San Miguel

    LindaS808 · Family · 2025-12-06

    “I have loved this hotel since the doors opened and before. Traveling to San Miguel since 1980, I knew the first hotel on the site. When Matilda opened I loved everything about the design, the art, the food. We attended a family wedding and our home was the venue for the ceremony, so a great opportunity to stay. I misbooked the dates, the staff were so kind and rearranged everything. The breakfast is a dream, the rooms comfortable and the location just perfect for a quick stroll to all of the best in dining and shopping but quiet street. Stay here!”

    “From the moment we checked in and during our entire stay we were treated warmly by all the friendly staff. The location is perfect, within walking distance to the downtown area, parks and services. The hotel is charming with a great lobby area full of art. Having the restaurant on-site is convenient. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Any excursion can be booked at the concierge desk, and English is spoken by staff. We look forward to our next stay at Hotel Matilda!”
