Needs sound proofing, super location.

Great location as it is near to the Zocalo and many other central areas. The hotel needs sound proofing from interior noise.

Such a beautiful space with accommodating employees who were very kind throughout. The chilaquiles verdes son lo mejor! Y la terraza, the Terrance was a dream come true for a new person traveling to CDMX. Very unique format and architecture throughout the hotel and it felt very classy and peaceful throughout my stay

Perfect for me traveling alone, I felt safe. My friends stayed across the way but it wasn't in my budget. I heard something scratching the wall one night and when I looked underneath the bed it was full of dust bunnies. I did see a couple of baby roaches in the restroom. But the rooftop is a nice touch and I enjoyed breakfast a few times up there. The staff is friendly and the price is really reasonable. And thre is Ac and TV and a little gym upstairs too.

Staffs was friendly & speak good English. Love that the hotel is in the middle of the historic center. Facility interior is nice however, the rooms need improvement. It is clean and dated. Rooms bathroom need especial attention. The 2 towels per room and beddings needs to be replace new. Bedding is white with yellow sheen from over used and washed. Furnitures are dated and unusable.
