you really need to consider the reality of a small, aged, boutique hotel. Charming doesn't count when there is no water in the upper rooms, it takes 3 tries over 2 days to get a working AC and there are multiple winding stairs to many rooms that would make this a nightmare for anyone with mobility issues. Only discount we could get for the inconvenience (thank you to the sympathetic front desk staff) was to cut our 'additional charges' in half. As soon as we booked with Expedia we got an email from the hotel directly offering a better room that had just come free, with breakfast for a daily fee paid directly to the hotel. We would not stay here again.

I stayed at this hotel in Puerto Vallarta with my wife and my parents-in-law for a family vacation. While we truly appreciated the kindness and friendliness of the staff, we were unfortunately disappointed with several aspects of the hotel’s maintenance and basic services, especially considering its 4-star rating. First, the bathroom was located right next to the bed, and there was a persistent unpleasant odor, possibly from a plumbing or water backflow issue. The smell was strong enough to disturb our sleep throughout our stay. This is not something we expected from a hotel of this category. Second, we were informed that room cleaning service would be provided daily unless we hang the “do not disturb” tessel on the doorknob. On our second day, my parents did not hang the tessel, expecting the room to be cleaned while we were out for sightseeing. However, when we returned, the room had not been serviced at all—no cleaning, no fresh towels, and no bed made. This was surprising and disappointing, as daily housekeeping is a very basic expectation. Third, there was no electric kettle, coffee, or tea provided in the room. Guests are instead asked to use a shared guest kitchen, where a communal electric kettle is available. Unfortunately, the kettle did not appear to be cleaned regularly, and there was leftover water inside. No coffee or tea bags were provided either. These are small but important amenities that many guests expect at a 4-star hotel. Fourth, the curtains in our room

The staff were great . Our Suite came with breakfast every day and within minutes of sitting down outside they were bringing us fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee, then fresh to order breakfast. The location was great for walking and trying out new restaurants each night. The market was right across the bridge and made for a great early morning walk/run up the stairs and around. (Hope you like stairs as there are lots of levels to the hotel) Only downside was the bars and street noise if you were trying to have a daytime nap (bars usually shut down music at 11pm as they are located in the residential area) there is no soundproofing Our suite the Marrakesh was beautiful with a large very comfortable king bed and fantastic a/c that kept you cool after a long day. We stayed for two weeks the only reason we didn’t give it a better rating was that the hotel needed some care. We pointed out the burnt out lights and squeaky door in our Suite (taken care of right away) Around the quiet pool one of the day beds was broken (told front staff) and you could tell that the self service bar wasn’t really used as the drinking classes were covered in dust. Garlands has two other hotels that you can check out for a fee (both have roof top patios and pools) one is located up the street lovey valley view and quiet location. The other is under construction (lots of noise and dust) but a nice view on the ocean if you don’t mind paying $10 US for an ice cream or $16 us for aperol spritz

Garlands Del Rio is a boutique hotel. Every room is different and unlike anything I’ve stayed in before. The hotel is old, in a historic/beautiful kind of way. The pool is modest, nothing fancy but it’s all you need to cool off after a long day. The pool bar is “honor code” style, take what you need and write it down.The staff are very nice people. Shout out to Rigo, Martha, and Iván. Martha recommended a local beach spot that ended up being our favorite part of our trip. Enjoy the hotel cats as they lounge around. Sit on your balcony and enjoy the live music pour in from the bistro across the river. Sleep with your windows open and let the city soothe you into a slumber. As a young female traveler, I highly recommend this hotel. Disclaimer: the room does not have a bathroom door! If this is a concern to you, please ask before you book. Thank you Garlands Del Rio.

Friendly staff. Convenient location in Zona Romantica. Enjoyed the character of buildings, decor and access to sister properties (roof top pool & beachside rests). Martha was extremely kind & helpful, as were all front desk staff. Unexpected bonus was access to a shared guest kitchen and dining area. Enjoyed cool breeze and shaded side River front room. Peaceful. Despite being in the heart of fun celebrations!!! ♥️✨👍

My husband and I spent 10 days here in December. I'll start with the positives. The concierge staff were ALL amazing (Marta, Ivan, and Xavier). They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. They were the best. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. Much appreciated! Small things, but the Kleenex and TP was high quality. While that sounds trivial, my husband and I both got sick (bad cold or Covid) but soft Kleenex was a life saver! The location and view over the river was wonderful. Right in the heart of Zona Romantica, but very quiet and serene. Now, the not-so-positives... Our first room (Hansel) was so dark! A lighter paint and better light fixtures could have easily fixed this. Personal grooming in the bathroom was next to impossible. After 4 days or so, I couldn't take it anymore, and when I saw the room across from us (Gretel) had become available, I asked if they could switch us (they kindly did). It was a little smaller, but much brighter, with wonderful natural light in the bathroom. Having paid $40 US per day for an "upgrade", it left me wondering what kind of room we'd have had without the upgrade. The upgrade also included breakfast, which was okay at best. Limited choice and sporadic service (though I know that they were going through some changes). The pool area was pleasant (though tired and in need of repair) had only two loungers. Overall? Okay. Know what room you'll have...some were even darker than Hansel!
