Staying at Hosteria Duran was an absolute delight! The beautiful surroundings and hot springs were perfect for relaxation, though the location is a bit outside the city center, which can lead to some traffic. The food at the on-site restaurant was really good, and the service was attentive. Just keep in mind the evening hours might get a bit busy with families enjoying the pools.

I had a good stay at Hosteria Duran, enjoying the beautiful historic architecture and the inviting hot spring pools. though I did notice that they got a bit crowded in the evenings with families. The dining experience was really good, especially the shrimp and avocado quinoa appetizer that left me wanting more. Overall, a lovely retreat, but the location, being a bit outside the city center, requires a bit of planning.

I had such a wonderful experience at Hosteria Duran that I actually returned for a second visit during my trip! The atmosphere is lovely, with historic Spanish architecture and beautiful grounds. The hot spring-fed pools and the quality of the food really stood out during my stay. However, it's a bit far from the city center, and I did notice that the pools got quite bustling in the evenings; so if a serene getaway is what you're after, you might want to keep that in mind.
