Right in the city center. Taxco is not for the faint of heart, period. So if you can’t climb stairs that’s not the hotel’s fault. That’s the lifestyle. As far as I’m concerned this is where I’ll stay and recommend when I come back, because I will come back. We took the cable car to the luxury hotel across the way. That’s great for resort and golf living by a pool. Boring for me. Agua escondida had it all, City center life, quiet spa oasis, Clean pool, amazing views, shopping. Lobby helps you find tours to the caves, they even have washer and dryer if you pack light. We didn’t try the restaurant because we look for hole in the wall places but it looks pretty. For silver shopping I recommend A&J, skip the boutiques. And for food, climb down to la güera for hand made tortillas and food that locals eat. Stay at Agua Escondida. You won’t regret it.
