How to get to Guanajuato

By bus

You can easily get to Guanajuato via bus if you’re coming from Mexico City, Queretaro, or other places in Mexico.

By rental car

Another option is to rent a car and drive to Guanajuato so you can make whatever stops along the way that you want.

By carpooling

In Mexico you can also use the carpooling app Bla Bla Car to get around. Essentially people who are already going to a certain destination in their own vehicle, list a free space in their car for someone else to join. You pay a fee to help pay for gas and carpool with them. This can sometimes be cheaper than busing.

By plane

Guanajuato does have an airport, so if you’re coming from further away, you can search for cheap flights here.

How to get to La Abadia Tradicional

Hotel La Abadia Tradicional is located right across the street from the Templo de San Javier. You can easily get to the hotel via taxi or Uber.

The Colorful Lobby & Shared Hotel Areas

I absolutely loved how the majority of the rooms are situated all around the large courtyard-like lobby, rising up to four floors high. The warm orange colors also reflected how colorful Guanajuato is as a city itself. I loved how warm I felt coming into the welcoming lobby with its rich colors. The greenery of the plants hanging off all the balconies really add to Hotel Abadia’s charm as well.

Cozy Beds and Gorgeous Rooms

Our room was absolutely perfect. The bed was huge and very comfortable complete with a dark wooden headboard. We had a nice bathroom in our room, along with lots of shelves, a large TV and a safe. I really enjoyed the striped pattern on the quilt and the wooden accents around the room, such as the headboard, shelves, and ceiling beams.

We also had a tall window overlooking the street outside, which was quite lovely as well. The long curtains kept out the light really well for sleeping in on some of the mornings. Plus it was so nice to open the curtains in the morning and waking up with the sunlight.

The Pool at Hotel Abadia Tradicional

Following my mother-in-law as we walk to the hotel pool.

Since we visited in November, it was a bit too cold for us to use the pool. However, I did go for a walk to the pool with my mother-in-law and was completely blown away. The walk to get to the pool takes you along a beautiful cobblestone path full of beautiful plants. It felt almost like we were walking through a hidden jungle to get to the water.

The orange and blue colors of the building set behind the greenery of the plants was breathtaking. I really like that Hotel Abadia has an outdoor pool because I love to swim and sunbathe. Hopefully I can go back there in the summer and get make use of it.

Friendly and Helpful Staff

From the waiters in the hotel restaurant to the concierge, everyone at the hotel was extremely friendly. It really seemed like the staff enjoyed their work, and they were very helpful as well.
