The hotel is nice, quite basic, but clean with very friendly staff. The hotel has parking which is great in Taxco, as there is no street parking and didn't see that many car parks. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, so had to leave the window open, and unfortunately the noise from the street can be a bit... More

We spent three nights in Agua Escondida. We arrived on the last day of Semana Sante and had a front row seat for the festivities. The hotel is located right on the Zolcolo by the Iglesia Santa Prezia. There are many restaurants, shops and sights within a short walking distance. The hotel staff was attentive, friendly and efficient and our... More

Taxco is hilly and you are always walking up or down. The Zocolo is a small flat area half way up the slope of the town on which the Cathedral sits. The Agua Escondida is on the Zocolo. It is the only hotel on the Zocolo. On entering the hotel you immediately walk up one flight to the lobby. The... More

Located beside the Zocalo, the hotel rooftop bar offers exceptional views and opportunities for people watching. The hotel itself is beautiful, and a maze of joined buildings that makes it fun to explore. The staff are not particularly friendly and often inefficient. The rooms are very basic and in dire need of updating. The walls are vented so you are... More

I booked directly through their web site avoiding other booking engines, hoping that it would minimize problems. I paid extra for a junior suite with a "panoramic view" of the city of Taxco.and upon check-in was told that no such suite was available. So I got to face the wall for the price of a panorama. And perhaps as a... More

Great hotel right on the square. Walk to everything. But make sure you take the short 45 minute trip to the wonderful & beautiful Cachunmilpe caves. Make sure you bring comfortable shoes. This is our third trip and there will be many more in the future. I think this was where Disney got the idea for the movie Herbie as... More

A very small and full of mazes to be a hotel but the rooms have the charm of the city. Do not forget that this place is a spa. I recommend comrpar a beer at the bar and take it on the terrace overlooking the Church, there is much to observe. Prices, and cleaning.

I was told by Mexican friends to visit Taxco in my recent trip to Mexico. Asking some American friends who had been in the city and the reviews in here I decided to stay at Agua Escondida Hotel. In addition to the privileged location (is in the main square in front of the cathedral) and service quality, something that stands... More
