Having selected hotels with a lot of architectural charm and age to them during a recent trip to Mexico, Posada Maria Cristina fit the bill. It was an historic hotel - the stables (and secret meeting place) for Cortez and his soldiers. Given that, it radiated an atmosphere of clandestine encounters. The rooms were well worn and there was some... more

We just returned from a trip to Cuernevaca and found the Posada Maria Cristina to be in need of much repair. The gardens are charming, but watch where you walk as broken steps, tiles etc. abound. Our first room was dark with an old bed-spread, plaster walls in the bathroom were cracking and tiles were missing. The floor was dirty... more

Our family stayed here for a weekend in mid-December. Yes, the grounds are lovely, and an oasis in the middle of this bustling city. Our room was cool and clean, and pretty but very worn. The bathroom definitely needs some refreshing with regard to tiling, grouting, and a functioning toilet. My main complaint was the booming nightclub noise all around... more

We stayed in a charming upstairs suite that had its own romantic private patio overlooking a beautiful courtyard.

It looked like a $35 room in the bad part of town. When I asked to see another room, the desk manager was very courteous and showed... more

Noisy. Beds are of poor caliber. For the $ this Posada is not much value. Grounds and pool are very nice,but service is so-so. We stayed 2 nights,but one in cuernavca would have been better with more time in the much nicer town of Taxco. more

I just loved it. The old architecture mixed with beautiful vegetation, makes you feel in a timeless place, just wonderful, excellent restaurant and service. more
