Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel offers a great central location with easy access to the historic center and sights. Rooms are spacious, but some parts seem reduced in size and capacity. Service is efficient, with various convenient options available. The dining experience is simple, and it might be better to explore outside options. Overall, a good value for money choice in Centro Historico.
The hotel rooms were comfortable and clean, but noise from the busy street could be a nuisance at times. The location was excellent for exploring the city on foot, although some noise from nearby establishments could be heard. The dining options were satisfactory, and the hotel offered a colonial view near a beautiful church. The staff provided good service overall, but there were inconsistencies with room readiness upon arrival.
This hotel offers a mix of positives like cleanliness and spacious rooms while keeping things basic. It provides a good overall experience, especially for a regular suite stay, with a few areas to improve on. The location is perfect for exploring the historical center and enjoying famous restaurants, yet the dining options could be more diverse. Overall, it's a convenient choice for Mexico City.
