Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Guadalajara
For the vast majority of travelers, Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) is the only practical gateway, as it is the only airport located within the city of Guadalajara itself and handles most international and domestic traffic. It offers the fastest and cheapest transport options, making it exceptionally convenient. All other airports on this list are located in neighboring cities and serve those specific regions, not Guadalajara. Guanajuato International Airport (BJX), Colima Airport (CLQ), Aguascalientes International Airport (AGU), and Tepic International Airport (TPQ) are hours away by road. These airports only make sense if your travel plans require visiting those specific cities or if you have found significantly better flight pricing that justifies the long, expensive road transfer to reach Guadalajara. For these distant airports, private taxis are usually the most comfortable, while long-distance bus lines remain the budget-conscious choice, albeit with significant travel times. Always check local transit apps for the most current pricing and departure availability.

Zona Centro Guadalajara|1.77km from city center
The location is very good, next to a historical and cultural square. The soundproofing is very poor, and the front desk customer service is not good. Other guests checked in around 12 o'clock, but they didn't let me check in, and kept delaying my check-in until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It's amazing that they didn't give me cookies! I suggest you don't stay at this hotel, the One Hotel next to it is better than this oneFromUS$82

Passing through Guadalajara, stayed for one night, the hotel is a little far from the center, driving for half an hour, if not blocked, ten minutes, the hotel room is not very big, the window is small, or the inner window, the bathroom 💦 is not very big, the room facilities are well equipped, breakfast is generally ecological, Stayed in the evening and left early in the morning, and did not experience the hotel facilities. I changed a hotel every day. This is not very impressive. It's the kind that is quite satisfactory.FromUS$97

Zona Centro Guadalajara|2.09km from city center
An old-fashioned hotel in the city center, very emotional. It is next to the Santa Maria Church, the oldest church in the city, and the steeple of the church can be seen from the balcony of the room. Excellent value for money. The service attitude is also very good. The only downside is that the facilities in the room are slightly backward, the drainage of the washbasin is not good, and the hot water regulation is not very smooth.FromUS$67
