Great location in the heart of the historic center of Mexico City. Like a lot of the historical center, the hotel is old and a great classical building! beds were comfortable, rooms are big and very basic. Great floor to ceiling doors on the balcony! My only complaint was that it was noisy outside most of the time.

Pros - Centrally located in historic downtown, old architecture nice, beds firm, bathrooms clean, onsite restaurant for easy breakfast. Cons - Street facing rooms are noisy especially neighboring roof top disco is loud until 3 or 4 AM. Inside facing rooms much quieter but not much air flow or breeze, so hot.

The staff was professional and helpful. Coming in on a red-eye flight, I showed up at the hotel at 7:30 in the morning. Check in is at 2:00pm, abd I was just hoping to store my bags until I could get my room. I was very tired from not sleeping all night. The employee at the counter said that since a room was ready, they would let me get in then, almost 7 hours early! Talk about good service.

First a warning--One side of this corner hotel faces Terraza Dos Equis, an open air, rooftop club with pounding music amd screaming patrons from late afternoon until early morning. If you are one who needs fresh air from an open window you will have the club in your room pounding away. With windows closed, and earplugs in you will have no air (no fans in room) but the potential to relax or sleep a litttle, but forget about communicating with your fellow travelers. That being said, the hotel can't help that its noisy, and it is otherwise a cute, homey hotel with a fun restaurant with comida packets and a great little bar to chill at (when theyre not blasting karaoke.) Its in an excellent location with the L4 metrobus right there, and walking distance to many sites and excellent informal delicious and cheap restaurants. Sadly, because of the noise, we would not go back. City noise is one thing, (we're New Yorkers) but blaring music (and an all day Sunday tea party) does not make for a relaxing stay. Stay away if you need at least a modicum of quiet at some point in your room.

En terminos generales esta masomenos por el precio, buena ubicacion. Es medio antiguo pero esta pasable, detalles. El agua caliente tarda mucho en salir y te quitan la llave del cuarto cada vez que sales de la habitacion por lo que no se siente 100 porciento seguro

Es una vieja casona o edificio otrora sede de alguna oficina del gobierno, segun se me dijo. Tuvo mejores tiempos y vio mas explendorosas epocas. Pero ahora necesita bastante sino remodelacion total, si una extrema cirugia. La recepcion es decrepita, como para una pelicula de horror de Netflix. Tiene una quitectura que con un rescate adecuado se veria esplendorosa. Necesita muebles, que esas lamparas de techo vuelvan a su estado original. Esos munecos de tamano humano que tienen ahi sentados a un lado de la recepcion, por Dios! Parecen sacados de un circo pobre. En general la recepcion es decrepita y ruinosa. El staff tampoco se ha modernizado. Prohiben visitas a los huespedes! Como si todos los que llegan ahi estuvieran haciendo sexo turismo! Solos familias algunos con familia local qur quisiera venir a vernos! Ridiculo! Lo unico bueno es el resturante. Aunque de nuevo la decoracion no es acogedora.

Good location for sightseeing in Mex City

It is a very nice old building with a good and large room, friendly staff and an overall good experience. The location is also very good, you can do the most important sightseeing in one day on your own by walking: Plaza de la Constitutión, Catedral Metropolitana, Torre Latino and Templo Mayor. On side downside, the central location means it is a pretty loud place to stay. A 21 million people city never sleeps.

De entrada la actitud del resepcuonista un poco nefasta , creído y una expresión como si ya supiéramos sobre el hotel. Después la entrada al vi uaero fue fea ya que huele mal, enseguida , como veníamos cansados quisimos prender el abanico y no prendió , nos trajeron otro y que creen , si prendió , pero el aire lo echaba por los lados , en vez de darnos coraje , nos dio risa . Nota: los resepcuionistas del turno matutino excelentes

Ok for a few nights

Stayed here 3 nights, good location. Room is clean, bed is very firm. If you stay, read the fine details. A lot of rooms have a bathroom down the hallway which is shared by other rooms. It’s an individual shower/toilet that is used by other guests. The price is good. There’s a restaurant right next to it. Good food.
