We arrived there as four idiot tourists not being able to speak much Spanish. We had a little bit of troubles communicating with the staff, but luckily the manager there speaks good english, though he might not be around all the time. The building is nice and the view is breathtaking. The traditional breakfast is totally out of this world. Small inconvenience that we do not have the key to the front door- if coming late at night, u will have to depend on the staff waking up and open the door.

Great view, amazing breakfast, most hospitable staff; only disadvantage- location (20 min walk to downtown) not that far for any traveller. If you're going to Guanajuto, stay at La Casa de Dante.

La Casa de Dante is a little out of the centre but not that far. Yes, there are 160 or steps to climb on your way home, but it's well worth it. The family who run the place are super welcoming and friendly, my bed was really cozy and comfy, there was free wi-fi in the room, free bottled water (and a filling station too, for your water bottle). The breakfast (included) is Mexican style and delicious. The rooftop patio/terrace has a fantastic view over the town.

Take their advice and take a taxi your first time there as it can be a bit challenging to find, but once you do the view is worth it! The breakfest is amazing! Probably the best breakfest in a hostel you´ll ever have! great, and thanks for all your help Dante!

I definitely enjoyed staying at La Casa Dante. The location is good....the staff is beyond nice....and the breakfast is what sets them apart from other hostels that normally just give fruit and cereal. Definitely will recommend this place for other travelers!

Excellent in personal service, friendliness, cleanliness, decoration and internet availability. Everything works as it should (often not the case in hotels in Mexico). The view is beautiful. Breakfast is delicious and can be personalized. The guests are national and international and it's fun to socialize with them over breakfast.

We (a group of european exchange students), had a great time at la Casa de Dante. The staff is the best that i met in any hostel thus far (it's a family run hostel) Breakfast is awesome not only for a hostel. Don't let yourself scare off by the stairs as you can arrive to the hostel from up AND down the stairs so you never have to walk them up if you don't want to. Only thing to complain might be the shower that took us some patience to find a good temperature. We would love to come again!!

Very clean, staff were great, delicious breakfast!! Great views from the upstairs terrace. Only bad points is there is NO water pressure in the shower - not pleasant trying to wash your hair under a "dripping tap". There is no sound proofing so if you get the double room at the front you got all the noise from the street as well as from within the hostel. Its also about a 25 minute walk to the centre ( down 178 steps...)

My friends and I went to Guanajuato for the Indenpence day and tripped over Hostel La Casa de Dante, which had quite nice reviews. We did not expect too much, but our perception has been beyond great. We arrived at the hostel which location is in the higher level of the city with a beautiful view. Our room was ready even though we arrived before time, and the staff greeted us with the friendliest tone we have meet in Mexico. Dante has the best breakfast in Mexico and furthermore the best staff!

Casa de Dante is an amazing place. You immediately feel welcome and at home. On top of that they serve the best breakfast I've had in Mexico so fast. The view from the rooftop is breathtaking. Thank you Dante and Irene!
