The property seemed to be very old but charming. I imagined a writer from the early 20th century holing up and writing a manuscript there, but without the AC and tv which are both remote controlled by the way. The mattress was a little hard but it wasn't difficult to sleep, maybe because the pillows were so nice. They didn't have a safe deposit box. Its very close to restaurants, bars and clubs. It's also very close to the macroplaza.

No vayan a menos que sepan que cambiaron de person
Horrible experiencia, el personal de lo más nefasto posible, nos levantaron a las 3:40 am porque querían que pagáramos en ese momento por un amigo que llego de improviso, no digo que esté mal que cobren por la persona extra pero no vas a ir a levantar y tratar de meterte al cuarto de un cliente a esa hora, y menos con insultos y demás... la persona del lobby tmb por demás grosera, se puso a gritarnos en plena madrugada, cuando bien nos pudieron hacer el cargo extra al día siguiente o al hacer el check out, para todo hay formas y momentos, sinceramente tienen una excelente ubicación y el lugar está agradable y pintoresco pero el personal es un reverendo asco...

Creepy don't go
Very cheap, but I felt so unsafe, I paid for the night and left. The staff was rude and unhelpful. The whole place is like a creepy haunted house. I just had to get out of there.

Horrible place
The hotel did not have my reservation and the front desk was not able log in to their system to retrieve it. In either case, my reservation noted that I would pay at the front desk so I did. We booked a double bed and I expected a rollway bed- granted the fine print says not all info about hotel may be complete. The hotel does not offer rollway beds.The hotel charged me extra for the room I finally reserved and I settled for it because it was past midnight. The cab driver warned me that I should not stay at the hotel because it would not be suitable for me and my son. I had no choice at that time. The hotel makes you pay a deposit (cash only) to have control of the AC and the TV. Or the porter could turn on the AC for us if we did not have a cash deposit. We opted to get the AC turned on. The room was dark and humid. The facility smelled bad. The room smelled like smoke.The shower door was cracked. The neighborhood is not family friendly either but the Barrio Antiguo is nearby. I would not use this hotel if I were a single woman. The only positive was that the front desk was open at 3 am. There is no soap in the bathroom but you do have towels. Nothing else. Beds were hard.

Nice hotel in the center of downtown
The first night we got a room that was too noisy because it was facing the street, we complained and immediately we were moved to a secluded part of the hotel which made our stay really nice. Thank you very much.

Great staff, disappointing room
Hotel room didn't have basic items like a hair dryer, shampoo, body wash, or towels. In addition to all that, you had to call maintenance to come turn on the AC or to adjust it everytime as they do not give you the remote.

hotel fundador in monterrey,a worst place to stay!
I never been in a hotel like this,starting with the bad attitude of the morning shift recepcionist or maybe owner,you need to deposit money for the tv control,every time that you go out, you have to leave the key at the front desk,there is not ventilacion in the room,no hot water,and if you complaint they treat you like you are liyng and get mad at you,if you stay on the weekend you will not sleep for the noisy bar located in the center of the hotel.i did not recommend this hotel and I will spread my bad bad experience in this hotel?...maybe don not deserve to name it like that.

Monterrey gateway...
It was near from all places. You could just walked and in less than five minutes you were at the museums, macro plaza and every historic place from Monterrey. Awesome location. Great price and really great staff that are willing to help in everything they can, including reserving a taxi. Antique hotel, located at a historic place for Monterrey. It just need a little bit of mantenience and that's all. Love my stay at Monterrey and loved my stay at Hotel Fundador.

GOOD LOCATION
INTERNET DID NOT WORK IN ROOM. COMMON SPACES WERE NOT AIR CONDITIONED AND WERE STIFLINGLY HOT IN THE AFTERNOON. THE OWNERS WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEY HAD IN-ROOM INTERNET. ROOM WAS CLEAN, COOL, AND EVEN HAD AN AREA POTENTIALLY USABLE FOR FOOD PREPARATION. BEDS WERE A BIT FIRM FOR MY LIKING BUT ACCEPTABLE.

Cumple para pasar la noche si vas de paso pero no cumple si lo que buscas es descansar. Las instalaciones están deterioradas (la puerta del ascensor está rayada y da muy mal aspecto). Hay bares enfrente de la propiedad y si vas en fin de semana se escucha todo y es difícil dormir. La ubicación es muy buena porque puedes llegar a muchos lugares padres caminando (El museo de arte contemporáneo está a 5 min), paseo Santa Lucía 10 min. etc.
