There are plenty of beautiful hotels, boutique hotels, and Airbnbs of different price points in San Miguel de Allende. We did research, and based on the price, location, and amenities, we recommend the following places to stay.

The Clandestino Hotel has two locations in the city's heart, close to exciting attractions, food, and drinks.
Casa Arum
Casa Arum is a 17-minute walk from the heart of the city but provides more of the full hotel experience with a restaurant, a beautiful rooftop bar, and stately rooms, but expect to walk or taxi to other attractions.

Maria Isabela Hotel is a cute, quaint hotel in the city's heart. Great for couples and more budget-friendly.
