Guadalajara's Hostal de Maria Photos and Information

Guadalajara's Hostel de Maria is something of a family affair -- owners sometimes staff the desk, kids in tow. More info on the hostel below.

Hostel de Maria Front Desk and Entry

Guadalajara's Hostel de Maria is not a party place -- that's the Guadalajara hostel a few blocks away. At the Hostel de Maria, an interior gate and the front door lock at night, and the friendly night clerk stays the night in the office adjacent to the front desk (pictured).

Behind the front desk is the hostel's television lounge, where guests can relax at tables (and pick up the free wifi); out the front door is a small plaza and just up the street are a couple of very good restaurants and beer joints.

Keep clicking on the numbers in the gray toolbar above or below to see more photos of the Hostal de Maria and its Nueve Esquinas (Nine Corners) neighborhood in Guadalajara's centro.
