Needs Improvement
The air conditioning did not work. The room was hot, humid, and uncomfortable. In the morning I went to check out and was in the elevator with my luggage. The door closed, I pressed the button, and then nothing. I was trapped inside and had to call the front desk on my phone to get someone to come help me get out.

El Encanto was a wonderful stay, we were there for a wedding, from the outside you could not imagine the beauty with in, it’s rustic and beautiful and great picture ops all around the hotel, if you get the corner room it has a balcony looking out to the cathedral and wow, the rooftop bar was where the wedding took place breath taking view of the cathedral and when lit at night wow, wonderful all around, only complaints I have to give bathroom in our room had water marks on the ceilings and walls, some rooms did smell a little damp or moldy from what I was told, steak at the reception did not meet anyone’s expectations it was tough and dry could not be cut or chewed at all, other than that the rest of the food an cocktails were delicious, Hotel is very centric everything is within walking distance, plenty of delicious restaurant all around

El encanto was very pleasing esthetically. It has a rustic charm to it. Staff is very young, sweet, and tried their best. Emma was very understanding and accommodating. The air conditioner was not working in my room and he did what he could to find us another room. Unfortunately, the other room had a distinctive odor of sewer and we were not able to stay there. I spoke to the Manager the following day. She seemed understanding and tried to explain. The air conditioner in our other room was not able to be repaired so we moved to a third room.

Truly lovely hotel in an ideal location
El Encanto lives up to its name-- beyond its unparalleled location, the staff could not be more gracious and just lovely and the rooms are great. The rooftop bar *does* make for loud evenings, and the encaustic tile floors look like they could be brighter, but these are small details that did not in any way mar an excellent experience. I will definitely be back.

El hotel es bonito, sus habitaciones parecen cómodas sin embargo es imposible descansar. En la planta alta tiene una terraza/ restaurante/ bar con música a todo volumen y charlas así como carcajadas hasta la madrugada. A las 5:00 am ya estaban haciendo ruido en las instalaciones del hotel, el elevador solo funciona a veces, los lavabos están tapados así que todo se queda ahí flotando, nunca tuvimos agua caliente y al salir nos dijeron que debemos abrir la llave del lavabo para luego abrir la regadera! No teníamos papel de baño y lo llevaron al día siguiente, el frigobar no enfría, el ventilador tampoco y la plancha para la ropa estaba quemada así que mancha las prendas. Lo rescatable es que la catedral y el zócalo están cruzando la calle

La peor experiencia en un hotel poblano. Reservé una junior suite, llegué 2:45 y estando la habitación lista no nos dejaron pasar porque el acceso es a las 3, cuando abrimos la puerta no era lo que había reservado, peleamos una hora con el personal grosero y pésimamente preparado y terminaron poniendo un sofá cama, sin sábanas, para cubrir su error. La habitación tenía humedad, el baño y las sábanas moho. No es un hotel boutique, es solo un hotel más del centro con pretensiones, el edificio pudo ser “bonito” pero el personal lo acaba de hundir. Para colmo llegamos a las 2am y tuvimos que tocar la puerta 15 minutos en la calle sola y oscura antes de que Ia recepcionista nos abriera, de mal modo por despertarla. Es sin duda el peor lugar en el que me he quedado en Puebla.
