Staff was very nice and helpful. Restaurant needs food taste & options, exterior presentation needs attention.

Ask for a room on the 6th floor with a balcony you won’t regret it. Room 603 is where we stayed and we had a blast on the balcony. Everyone was friendly and it was very safe.
Spotless, spacious room and helpful staff made this a great place for my 4-day stay as a solo first-timer in CDMX. Plus the location can't be beat. Close to everything important for tourists. I would stay again and will recommend it to couples, families and singles.
Friendly staffs excellent location very clean rooms thanks

It was well located in historic center. The property just needs updating. Ive stayed at other properties in same area that are old buildings but remodeled and are great. I gave this a try but not returning.
I don’t like the breakfast, they say the breakfast instead in the pay of the room and we have to pay for two years old because they don’t include. the room phone doesn’t work, the dryer doesn’t work neither.
I like they clean and organize very well.
