This was my first time in Puebla and what can I say about María Sofía’s Hotel… well just amazing things about it. Everything was perfect from the moment I stepped in, the owners are beyond charming, the staff was extremely efficient and friendly, the room was impeccable and comfortable, the garden was beyond that beautiful and the food incredibly good ( I recommend the “chilaquiles verdes”). The location of the hotel is perfect because you are close to every single part of the city specially downtown a place where you can get in touch with the true Mexican culture. In summary Maria Sofía’s hotel is what you looking for.

The location is near to the pyramid/church it's near some nightclubs and have a good service. The rooms I feel are like little but you don't need more space. They have safe boxes in all the rooms and they have good room services

The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The price is low compared to other hotels in Cholula with the same stars. It is located about 10 minutes walking from downtown Cholula and it offers delicious local food

Hotel Posada María Sofía is a comfortable accommodation in a 13-min walking distance from Cholula's archeological site. Their staff is friendly, and very helpful. I'd like to acknowledge Mari (morning shift) and Miguel Ángel (night shift) for their advice and willingness. They only serve breakfast, which is affordable and tasty (nothing fancy)

It's kinda close to the downtown and the archeological zone. Our room is way too hot and the beds aren't soft, but it's ok.
