"The location is great, especially for someone who is visiting Mexico City for the first time. Many rooms provide a direct view of the Cathedral and glimpses of the Zocalo, Mexico City's main historic square. Museums, good restaurants, archaeological sites, and the subway are just a short walk away. The bar on the top floor is particularly nice, but don't eat at the restaurant that's by the hotel's rear entrance: as of March 2026, the restaurant is being redone or was being redone at some point giving a shabby atmosphere & the food wasn't great. The breakfast buffet (served elsewhere) is fine, however. The rest of the hotel is in good condition.
The only real issue is that the hotel may not be good for people who are sensitive to noise, as sounds from the square filter in until around 10:00-11:00 PM and in some rooms you can hear chairs squeaking on the floor of the bar area above, which are quite loud, until 11:00PM when the bar closes. I highly recommend that the hotel invests in some pads for the chair feet that reduce the scraping sounds on the floor or on new quieter chairs if necessary. Overall, we had a good experience, however. "
