From the warm greeting accompanied by a refreshing home made lemonade to the departing breakfast, everything at Riverside was special! The property is immaculate and painted in cooling blues and contrasting colours, with plants everywhere adding to the feeling of being in an oasis! The host and staff were all wonderful. The room was gorgeous! It was a fantastic place to stay in the equally gorgeous Batopilas!

NOTHING!

The hotel is a wonderful place that a ton of charm and history. We enjoyed exploring the property and looking at all the photos, furniture, and decor. Martin and Humberto were excellent hosts and made our stay very comfortable.

Beautifully restored Colonial home in easy walking distance to zocolo; rustic with lovely antiques, stencil detailing throughout and restful, cool patios. Umberto was our host and provided wonderful coffee & continental breakfasts for us at a beautifully set table. History within the property was so interesting: living room and library were fun to explore. Loved the painted clawfoot tub with shower - surprisingly excellent water pressure! * Sonia Estrada's assistance with transportation and meals en route was invaluable! She was easy to communicate with and provided worthwhile info/suggestions and we truly appreciate her helping us put it all together. We expected to meet Martin Alcaraz but circumstances sent Gustavo to Divisidero for our transfer to Batopilas and we couldn't have been more pleased! Gustavo is professional & courteous, extremely knowledgeable about the region and its history/topography/culture and fun to spend time with; good thing he enjoyed all of our classic rock when on the road! He called ahead to the few restaurants available to ensure that vegan meals could be had for dinner. Our trip with him to Satevo was a wonderful 'addition' to our travels. He truly made Batopilas one of the trip's highlights!

Beds had 'old fashioned' metal springs (1 matrimonial, 1 twin in room) so a bit bouncy but comfortable enough. VERY warm for spring and the portable a.c. was too noisy to use throughout the night but we were fairly comfortable with a standing fan running. No one's fault - bugs a problem this time of year (horrible in El Fuerte, too).... still itching days later :-(

The lodge was very comfortable and we had the place to ourselves. I LOVED the claw foot tub and the whole vintage look and feel of the home. It was an enjoyable stay and we had such wonderful help there too.

Everything was perfect, Sonia went out of her way to make sure we had our almond milk and we had a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit and bread.

Beautiful old mansion with a fascinating history. Close to the plaza. Umberto was a great host.

It was all good. A little noisy Saturday night from the plaza festivities.

The staff was really friendly, the room was spacious as was the bathroom. But I can’t see many other good things about this hotel.

This hotel is priced at over $200 so I was expecting quality that would support the price but that’s certainly not what is given. I think it is way overpriced. I’ve been travelling through southern Central America for seven months and this is by far the most I’ve paid for Hotel so my expectations were high, but I was certainly let down. There is no restaurant in the hotel. They can’t even offer you a drink upon arrival. The hot water did not work when I got there although it did work in the morning, the bed is really soft. There’s no bedside table or other simple amenities they would allow you to put your book on or charge your phone , there is an air conditioner in the room, but it wasn’t enough to cool down the room so it was stuffy and hot in there all night. It says it’s the “Riverside” Hotel but it’s not beside the river. It’s on the road so that’s misleading as well. There is another hotel in town that is 1/3 the price and looks to be far better. I would book that one not this one. I really don’t know how they justify the price. That being said, the staff is super friendly, but they’re not the one setting the price. It’s the owner in the US.
