Hotel Universo Guadalajara

The location was excellent: I took a metrobus from the airport and the bus stop was right in front of the hotel. I caught a trolley at the Bellas Artes bus stop, a couple of blocks away to the bus terminal where I caught a bus out of the city and one of the entrances to the Metro (subway) is also nearby. Downtown (Zocalo) is a few blocks away. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance. There are a number of attractions nearby such as the Bellas Artes, the Cathedral, the historic excavations of the Aztec temple to the wind god and several other museums. The room is cleaned daily, the bed is comfortable, there is desk and a place to hang your clothes, hot water and clean towels. There is a restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel and I have eaten there on a previous visit but this time I decided to explore other restaurants nearby. There's a bakery next door where I would have coffee and some pastries. I did not have any problems with street noise and other distractions such as loud music from outside. There is a lavandería (not a coin-operated laundromat) around the corner.

The only negative part was the noise from guests and because my room was so close to the reception. I believe the heater for the entire building was right next door to my room and every so often would make a loud noise which woke me up a few times.
