This hotel would have looked OK in the eighties but nothing has been done to make it seem current or welcoming. That, however, was the leasdt of this hotel's problems. The first room was like an oven with air conditioning that did little to change the situation. So we asked to be moved and they did give us a better... More

Because of its location we have stayed at this hotel several times and this was by far the worst. There was a large group of students who decided to have a fist fight in the early morning hours right outside our door. This went on from 1:30 am until about 5:30 am. It took several calls to the front desk... More

Pro: Very inexpensive (less than half the price of the hotels near the Zocalo) Clean good and inexpensive breakfast buffet for $100 pesos (try the... More

After reading many of the reviews I still booked myself in here. I was quite surprised by the reviewers with respect to the actually reality of the hotel, the staff and the surroundings. If I go back to Mexico city I would book here again. The hotel is older but everything functions and works well. The staff were nice, helpful... More
