    Just a magnificent adventure. We loved Copper Canyon. El Fuerte was very quaint. The food was great.

    This hotel is built around the former governor's mansion built in the late 1600's. El Fuerte was the center of the revolution of the early 1800's when the people of Mexico took back their country from a dictator. The hotel has antiques galore, and a courtyard like you've never seen. This sprawling property has gardens everywhere. It is right off the main square and two blocks from the river and main fort. Unbelievable hotel and location. Price was great!

    Beautiful hotel!

    The hotel provided Transporation to the train station (which is a good 15-20 minutes away), but we were told we would not have a return trip cause we were not staying another night. For the price of the hotel and the amount of hotel vehicles picking up at the train station, I thought a round trip should be included.

    We stayed at the beginning of our Cooper Canyon Trip. We had our own vehicle which we parked in front of the hotel and was told many times, it is very safe (it was still there when we returned in 5 days!) The hotel is very beautiful and had many courtyards to explore. The room was very nice and worth the price (however, I would book direct to save on any 3rd party booking fees). We paid the $200 Peso for the Zorro show even though we do not speak Spanish, but they said it had music and dancing (but the dancing was the guests dancing with zorro and the music was only 3 songs while the guest danced) They did credit your $200P towards your tab, so we did get a good meal and drink. The hotel is in a nice location with shops and restaurants in the area.

    The hotel receives large coach parties so best to try to avoid dealing with reception at such moments!

    We had a room where the window faced the street, the isolation was really bad and you could hear exactly everything going on outside, including traffic, dogs, a rooster and loud music in the middle of the night.

    Very beautiful hotel! The whole area is very well maintained. Nice rooms, AC working well, good Wifi. Nice staff, some could speak English. Comfortable bed. Nice hotel bar with very good cocktails.

    I wish the owners of this place rewarded their staff better because they really deserve it.

    this place is an amazing historic mansion which was constructed back in the 19th century! very beautiful Spanish colonial architecture and well maintained. very clean and staff was amazing! seriously I think the staff are of the best I’ve seen.

    Amount of mosquitoes is unreal. A good repeler is really needed. I can't stress this enough.

    At this price I would expect a kettle/coffee maker in the room and fridge. Internet a little flaky We stayed 3 nights, not cheap, and we were moving on via El Chepe to the sister hotel near Divisidaro which was extremely expensive. When we asked if he ran a shuttle to the El Fuerte station to catch El Chepe he said 'yes, you can have it for free but you must eat breakfast'. Considering that, in total, we were going to spend over £600 in Bolderrama Hotels over the next 6 nights we were a tad miffed that he should make such a pitiful demand.

    Just about everything. The hotel oozes history with hidden courtyards and crammed full of curiosities. Don't forget the town museum and also the Malecon along side the river. Nobody mentions that.
