Despite its many benefits, El XII presents a few noteworthy drawbacks. Thin walls have led guests to report noise disturbances, from passing trains nearby to lively sounds from the neighborhood, including children and pets. Additionally, strict policies such as prohibiting alcohol and tobacco on the premises may not suit every traveler’s preferences, particularly those expecting a more relaxed atmosphere. The neighborhood itself offers charm through its dining establishments and shops, though it may lack significant walkable tourist attractions beyond culinary experiences.

Ultimately, El XII delivers a grounded, practical stay enriched by its prime location in Querétaro. Its blend of varied room offerings, local accessibility, and essential amenities caters well to visitors who prioritize easy access to the city’s highlights over resort-style features. While the noise factors and house rules require some adjustment, guests seeking a secure, connected, and authentic urban experience will find El XII a fitting choice for their travels.

The rooms are interesting. Because there are a variety of options. We liked the area and there are plenty of cafés and restaurants within walking distance. But you do hear a train pass neat by several times a day and night.

Kids screaming & lots of dogs but I had to sign a contract tp stay...not allowed alcohol or tobacco. Rented a suite with a balcony and wasn't allowed to have a smoke with coffee or wine with my dinner. Area is okay... not anything worth seeing on foot except for high end restaurants.

Nesseld in the center of the Alamos neighborhood this is a great location to base yourself while you explore Querétaro. Within walking distance of incredible restaurants, gym, dental office, spas and cafes. Rooms are clean and the property is very safe.

It is a good place for spending the night but walls are thin and you hear everything.
