La verdad la Señora Emma es un amor de persona, hace sentir como si estuvieras en casa, es increíble estar allí, la vista es impresionante y el precio vale completamente la pena, todo te queda cerca y está en una muy buena ubicación, les dejo unas tomas de drone para que se animen, honestamente me la pasé súper bien
This location is excellent and the hosts are fabulous. A very beautiful property with a lovely pool and fantastic views. Our room was a bit small for two people, but the gorgeous deck and view made up for that.
El hostal tiene una excelente ubicación, atrás de la iglesia. Los anfitriones son muy amables, cuidan los detalles y dan buenas recomendaciones para más disfrutar más la estancia en su hostal y en Pahuatlán. ¡Gracias!
The view from the garden is beautiful. There is plenty of space to enjoy a coffee while watching the sunset/sunrise. The hosts are very warm and extremely helpful. If you have any questions about the city or plan to visit other places, they'll be happy to explain. Their food recommendations were excellent.
Un lugar muy bonito y es atendido por sus propietarios, los cuales son muy amables, cuenta con alberca templada, se encuentra ubicada a 2 cuadras de la plaza principal. Sin embargo los cuartos son pequeños, no hacen limpieza a la habitación y el agua en las regadera es muy difícil de regular o sale muy caliente o muy fría, eso es frustrante.
Atrás de la Iglesia se encuentra el hostal Doña Emma, un lugar céntrico. Con un hermoso lugar para descansar, Doña Edith y su marido muy serviciales, tienen Temazcal, alberca, un lugar muy pero muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyy especial. 100 por 100 recomendable.
