airchamby Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Finsa. It was nice with a decent restaurant for breakfast inside and a nice Angus Butcher House Restaurant on the same property. It is a little ways from downtown but closer to the airport. I have also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express which was also nice and closer to downtown. I would steer you away from the Best Western Plus Puebla. If you are spending time in other areas around Puebla, in San Martin Texmelucan I highly recommend Hotel Imperial. In downtown Tlaxcala, I recommend Hotel Posada San Francisco Tlaxcala, right on the center square. Another hotel a bit North of Tlaxcala, close to the road to Puebla is Mission Hotel Tlaxcala which is very nice as well. I don't see it listed in Google maps but I found it's website: http://www.hotelesmision.com.mx/tlaxcala.php. PM me if you want more specific information.

Bisbee Gal Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 We stayed here, but it's been about 6 years. Location is excellent for walking around Puebla. It's an architecturally interesting building, wasn't in tip-top shape, but we prefer that to pristine modern hotels, even if there are some kinks. Their prices were very reasonable and the staff was pleasant. The made to order breakfast was very good and served in a beautiful courtyard. Here's link to tripadvisor for this property where you can read more recent reviews. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g152773-d1067047-Reviews-Hotel_Casa_de_la_Palma-Puebla_Central_Mexico_and_Gulf_Coast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 yes la Palma is nice and has more style than most of the non descript modern hotels. It has a great location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 When we go through we stay at the hotels by the freeway like the Fiesta Inn , the Holiday Inn , the one. There are several of those hotels right off the freeway near the freeway on the westside accross from the WV plant. When we visit we stay at the Palam or another cute place in the antic district. There are lots of nice hotels in centro.. We stay away fro San Martin Texmulacan as they have nasty gangs and we sometimes arrive in Puebla at night.

tomgates Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Saw a nice article on Puebla in a Volaris magazine and it featured El Sueno Hotel & Spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 If you want charming, historic, mid-downtown Puebla--in the antiques district--I'd pick El Mesón de la Sacristía. A little funky, but more shabby-chic, and just delightful. Courtyard restaurant for breakfast...http://mesones-sacristia.com/espanol/english/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fabulous. We ate there twice. The OP didn't ask about food, but do not miss the taco arabes at Las Ranas downtown (ate there twice, too). Here's a photo....mmmmmm. I gained 5 pounds in 4 days in Puebla. The architecture in Puebla is phenomenal (don't miss interior of Casa de Alfenique or exterior of Casa de Munecas), the inside of many churches or ex-conventors, the artist areas, the street of toads (calle de sapos). There is a John Lennon plaque in the park adjacent to La Palma hotel.....ahhhh...Puebla. Side trip to nearby Cholula s/b considered....especially tour of Los Remedios, and then San Gabriel convent, and then the Pyramids. If it wasn't so cold there in winters, I'd consider Puebla as a place to live full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
