Durante nuestra reciente estancia en este Hotel en la Ciudad de México, tuvimos el placer de ser atendidos por Raul, quien nos brindó un servicio excepcional desde el momento en que llegamos. Su cálida bienvenida y su actitud servicial marcaron la pauta para un viaje maravilloso. Raul fue increíblemente atento, ayudándonos con nuestro equipaje y asegurándose de que estuviéramos cómodos. Compartió excelentes consejos sobre las comodidades del hotel y las atracciones locales, haciéndonos sentir como en casa. Su conocimiento de la ciudad y sus recomendaciones reflexivas hicieron que nuestra exploración de la Ciudad de México fuera aún más agradable. Lo que realmente destacó fue la disposición de Raul para ir más allá. Ya sea organizando el transporte o simplemente revisando cómo estábamos durante nuestra estancia, siempre estuvo allí con una sonrisa y una actitud servicial. ¡Gracias, Raul, por tu servicio excepcional! Hiciste que nuestra experiencia en el hotel fuera realmente memorable, y estamos agradecidos por toda tu asistencia. Arturo y Cynthia Castro

Room was clean, friendly staff, and awesome complimentary 24/7 cafe available in the main lobby. The rooftop restaurant had excellent complimentary breakfast with delicious chilaquiles and pan dulce. Theres lunch and dinner service available too for reservation. There’s tours available to book in the hotel and location is perfect! I’d stay here again.

What an incredible hotel! The staff is lovely and helpful, from the front desk to the cafe to the cleaning staff to the doormen. The location is unbelievably convenient to the Zocalo, and being there over the holidays meant we could spend time throughout the day and evenings enjoying the huge Christmas spectacle. I recommend asking for a room with a view to the outside, our window faced into the hotel, so while it was nice and dark (and quiet) during the night, I think seeing daylight would be a good trade off for quiet (of course they offered me a room change, which was so appreciated). Pay the cafe with cash! We filled out receipts every day and included a tip but in the end, the cafe charges were all part of the room rate! As was the breakfast. Amazing for us but meant no tips for the food staff. We had no idea until we checked out. 🇲🇽 But we will definitely be back!

This hotel has it all - amazing location, generous amenities, free walking tours, helpful trip planning services, spotless rooms, friendly staff. The rooftop restaurant (included breakfast) was special with a view over the Zocalo. We felt well cared for, especially by Sandra - who made sure to acknowledge a birthday! Highly recommended.

Overall my stay at the Hotel Zocalo was ok. I wanted to love this hotel because it’s close to so many places…after all it’s in the Zocalo, but my issue with the hotel was that our room felt too small. Hubby and I paid for a deluxe King room and for the price that was paid we expected better. Our room felt cramped and on top of that there was construction happening on the building next to where our room was and the construction went on until late at night which was honestly quite irritating. Sadly I did not take pictures of the room, I messed up on that part but trust when I say the room was small. The view of the hotel itself is marvelous and upon arrival we were offered a complementary shot of tequila or wine (shot preferred) The breakfast was ok, hubby enjoyed his breakfast. I did not care for the hotcakes though.

The servers female were slow and rude, made us feel as we we’re not planing on paying our bill for items not included in the breakfast package we purchased at home. They never seated us, never checked on us, forgot some of what we ordered, but saw them go out of their way for others. Im from California and felt the racism here than i have at home.

The hotel has a fantastic location, very close to the Zócalo, which makes sightseeing extremely convenient. The breakfast is quite good, with decent quality and variety, although the selection stays the same every day, so it can feel a bit repetitive after a while. The hotel provides complimentary bottled water and apples, which is a thoughtful touch. Sometimes when I felt a bit hungry, grabbing an apple was really nice. The staff are friendly and helpful overall. One downside is the noise outside. Because the hotel is so close to the main square, it can be quite noisy, especially during the day and late evenings. Overall, a very convenient stay with good service, but light sleepers should be aware of the street noise.
