Most rooms are offered with free cancellation until a few days before arrival — the exact deadline is shown next to each rate before you pay.

When comparing, note that the four-star rating reflects the hotel's declared standard; the guest reviews on this page tell you how it actually feels to stay.
Colima for hotel guests
The centre, around Jardín Libertad and the cathedral, crosses on foot in twenty minutes and holds the few hotels with any character. Everything else lines the through-avenues — Camino Real, Constitución, the road out to Guadalajara — where work trips sleep. Our 2026 scans found just 8 hotels here with a real price: from US$34 a night, with a typical rate of about US$71. Most visitors use the city as a base for Comala, the La Campana ruins and the volcano viewpoints, and that is exactly what it does well. All hotels in Colima →

Guest reviews
4.4213 reviewsTerrible service. The girl at the front desk had a sour face. The waiters at the restaurant were unhelpful; they let the plates pile up, and if you asked for a drink, they wouldn't bring it. They charged for bringing food out of the snack area; they were more concerned with serving the people at the beach (a restaurant in the same hotel) than the people inside the hotel. The girl at the snack restaurant commented that we should leave tips for waiting at the tables. There was only one bartender for the entire hotel, and we had to spend 20 minutes in the sun just to order a drink. ***The power g…
Planning your trip to Colima
When to go
November to February is Colima at its best: dry, 30-32°C by day, nights around 14-16°C, and air clear enough to see the Volcán de Fuego and the Nevado from most rooftops. Pack a long sleeve — evenings cool off more than the latitude leads you to expect.
March to June is the hot, dry stretch. May often runs 35-38°C and the countryside turns brown. Air conditioning stops being an extra here; check whether the room actually has it or only a ceiling fan, and whether using it costs anything on top.
From June to October it rains most afternoons, hard and brief, and the sierra goes green. That is the good season for the lakes and the bad one for dirt roads. It is also cyclone season on the Pacific: remnants reach Colima and can close stretches of highway for a day or two.
Two dates fill what little inventory exists: the Feria de Todos los Santos, late October to mid-November over in Villa de Álvarez, and the charro-taurine fiestas in early February. With eight hotels scanned in the city, those weeks genuinely sell out. Book several weeks ahead or plan to sleep elsewhere.
Getting there and around
Colima's airport sits at Cuauhtémoc, some 20-25 km from the centre, and handles only a handful of flights, mostly to Mexico City. For real choice, fly into Manzanillo, ninety minutes away by toll road, with domestic service and some seasonal international arrivals.
Buses do the heavy lifting. Guadalajara is 2.5 to 3 hours by motorway with departures all day; Manzanillo a little over an hour. Long-distance coaches use the terminal on the east side, while the suburban terminal runs short hops to Villa de Álvarez, Comala and Suchitlán for roughly MX$20-30.
The centre walks easily — five minutes from Jardín Libertad to Jardín Núñez, twenty for nearly everything else. City buses cost about MX$12 and taxis run MX$60-100 within town. Ride apps function but with thin coverage, so having the number of a taxi stand saves waiting.
Rent a car if the volcanoes, La Campana, Laguna La María or Carrizalillo are on the list. The motorways are good and tolled. Avoid mountain roads after dark: curves, livestock, no lighting and very little traffic if something goes wrong.
Where to stay, zone by zone
The historic centre — Jardín Libertad, the cathedral, the Palacio de Gobierno, Jardín Núñez — is the sensible base if you came to look around. Museums, arcades and evening cenadurías are all within walking distance. Hotels here are few and small, some in old courtyard houses, and the streets fall quiet early.
The avenues — Camino Real, Constitución, Niños Héroes and the road out to Guadalajara — hold the business hotels: modern rooms, parking, breakfast, dependable air conditioning. No charm at all, but they solve the problem when you arrive by car or the centre is full. Budget for taxis at dinner time.
Villa de Álvarez runs on from the city to the west: residential, good cheap food, and home to the fairgrounds. Comala, 10 km north, has small guesthouses and the whitewashed postcard village, but few of them publish prices online and public transport dries up early in the evening.
The numbers matter here. Our 2026 scans found 8 hotels in Colima with a real price, from US$34 a night and a typical rate of about US$71. That is a thin market: compare quickly and commit, because on fair weekends there may be nothing left in town at all.
Eating and going out
Colima cooks its own things. Sopitos and sopes at the evening cenadurías, dry pozole, tatemado of pork in adobo, and a local ceviche minced fine with carrot. A set lunch runs roughly MX$100-150; a plate of sopitos and fried tacos costs a good deal less than that.
Drinks have their own repertoire: cold tuba with peanuts, bate, the fruit punch made around Comala, and coffee from those same hillsides. On Comala's plaza the custom is to order a drink in the afternoon and let the snacks arrive with it — an afternoon plan, never a late-night one.
Nights are modest and it is fair to say so. A few bars and cantinas around the centre, more movement along Camino Real and in Villa de Álvarez at weekends, and a city that shuts early midweek. For a long night out you want Guadalajara or the Manzanillo coast.
Breakfast is easy. The central markets open early, with menudo at weekends, and the cafés around the gardens fill mid-morning. If your hotel sits out on an avenue, check whether breakfast is included — walking to find one can be further than the map makes it look.
Booking well
Start from the numbers: 8 hotels with a real rate in our 2026 scans, from US$34 and a median of about US$71. In a market this small the range explains itself — the cheap end is functional and peripheral, and above the median you should be getting parking, breakfast and a pool.
The rhythm is the reverse of a beach town. Demand is largely work-driven, so midweek fills and weekends tend to be more flexible. The exceptions are the October-November fair, the February fiestas and Holy Week, when regional visitors arrive and an eight-hotel supply simply runs out.
Ask three things before you pay: whether the air conditioning is real and in working order, whether parking is enclosed — it matters if you rent — and whether the room faces an avenue, because city buses start rolling before six in the morning.
If the city is full on a peak date, the small guesthouses in Comala work with a car, and Manzanillo is an hour away on the coast. Both mean commuting daily instead of sleeping where you actually want to be, so treat them as fallbacks, not plans.
