The hotel's location is incredible, overlooking the cathedral and Zócalo, which is the only positive thing about this property. The rooms are okay, shared with 12 people on the 5th floor but do have lockers if you bring a padlock. The service seemed to focus on flirting with specific guests, offering little help otherwise. The dining was a mix of very good options like scrambled eggs and pancakes but also included mediocre choices like fruit and cereal. The facility boasts a great central location and is very safe with tours/ticket assistance available.

I absolutely loved the location of this hotel! It's right near the cathedral and in the heart of the city center, making it perfect for exploring. The rooms were nice and comfy, with lockers provided for security. However, sleeping with open windows means anyone at the rooftop bar could watch you sleep, so curtains are a must. On weekends, it can get loud until late, so if you're a light sleeper, be prepared.

The hotel offers a prime location right at the main square in Mexico City with its vibrant atmosphere and close proximity to key attractions. While the rooms are small, they provide a private terrace, but lack adequate ventilation and fresh linens. The service varied from friendly and helpful interactions to a disappointing incident when denied access to the rooftop. Dining options on the roof were average, and facilities need some attention.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was unbeatable, right in the middle of everything, allowing easy access to various attractions and a vibrant social scene. While the rooms had some noise from the courtyard below and lacked sufficient space for luggage, they were reasonably priced. The service was attentive, with helpful staff offering great tour options. The dining experience was hit or miss, with a mixed quality of offerings. However, the hotel's pet-friendly policy without extra charges was a definite plus.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered beautiful views of the Cathedral but were a bit noisy in the morning. The lack of accessible plug points was inconvenient, and an extra blanket would have been nice. The service was kind and helpful overall, although there was an incident with incorrect directions. The location was perfect for exploring the city and receiving local recommendations. The dining options were average at best. While the facilities were just okay, the price could have been better for the value offered.

The hotel is centrally located in the Historic Centre of Mexico City, making it easy to connect to metro lines and explore the main tourist attractions. The friendly and bilingual staff were extremely helpful, offering a free walking tour and organizing entertaining activities like a wrestling night out. However, the rooms lack proper ventilation with windows facing a noisy atrium, and the dining options, though satisfactory, have limited breakfast timings.
