Loved my stay! The staff was warm and welcoming. The best parts were the sumptuous breakfasts and the cafe that offered a variety of delicious goodies all included as a guest of the hotel.
This was a fantastic hotel just off the Zocalo in Mexico City. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a free walking tour with our reservation that was great. Breakfast was delicious.
Best for hospitality, location and ambiance in MX. Total excellence in service provided to customers. Been here on many occassions, always impressed, thanks.
Excellent stay in the heart of Mexico City! The location couldn't be better — steps from the Zócalo, easy to explore the historic center on foot. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful throughout, and the rooftop views of the cathedral and National Palace were a highlight. Great value for the location. We'd happily stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Mexico City. The central location made it easy to explore, and there were plenty of good places to eat within walking distance. It was a convenient place to stay while visiting the city.
We always stay here when we travel to CDMX. We love the breakfast included and the 24 hour cafe. We have requested sandwiches and chips at 5 am to take on long day excursions. The staff is helpful with directions and suggestions for visiting tourists areas.
