It's a best in downtown Mexico city. Rooms are clean, fine service and hospitality. Despite it is located two blocs from the Zocalo Plaza, there is no noise to worry. Almost everything is at hand: Bellas Artes theater, Plaza Mayor, fine bookstores, museums, and lots of restaurants. Downtown Mexico is also very secure. We strolled the area with no problem... More

Comfortable and safe but not cheep. Location is great just around the corner from the main square. The staff was helpful to get trips else where as Teotihuacan. The hotel is in the middle of the city so absolutly everything is within walking distance as reastruants and entertainment galore.

Stayed here for a total of 5 nights on 2 occasions. Rooms were decent size but we requested a king size bed the second time for more comfort. Staff is helpful & several speak English. Sheets & towels were changed daily & purified water/ice was available on every floor. Plenty of hot water but limited electrical outlets. We enjoyed breakfast... More

If you want to be near the Zòcalo without being immersed in its commotion, the location of Hotel Gillow can't be beat. It is an older hotel with an unassuming entrance and an interior that appeared to me to be meticulously maintained. A central atrium provides light to floors one through six; a fountain and caged birds on the first... More

Not having stayed at other hotels in Mexico city we choose this one on the basis of the reviews below and it did not disappoint. The building has some style and is well positioned near the Zòcalo, but not right on it so avoiding the worst of the noise. Standard rooms and beds are a bit small (and beds a... More

We have been staying at the Hotel Gillow off and on for about 12 or so years. For its location in the historic center, it cannot be beat. We have always been well taken care of the Gillow. From storing bags at the hotel to be picked up on the way back through the city, to being helped with directions,... More

We were introduced to Gillow by our friends who frequently stay here. And we understand why now. great location, easy to walk around the central area. Very good price, passable restaurant, friendly staff. Decent bed/mattress. This is the place we will stay at when here... that says it all

I really liked this hotel. I lucked into one of the top floor rooms with a balcony, which I loved using in the late afternoons. I found the staff to be a little bit dismissive, to be honest, but that doesn't bother me. They left me alone and I just did my thing. I don't know what the other rooms... More

I stayed here two nights and it was pretty nice. My room was of decent size, and I even had a terrace with a view of the inner street. It's a standard place, nothing fancy but clean, service is really great, internet works fine and has no annoying steps to log in (just the network password). They have also remodeled... More
