8.8Verified guest“A cool room with a balcony and fresh towels, as advertised.”
8.8Verified guest“The hotel was spotless, set in a historic building with friendly and extremely helpful staff. The room was well-kept, brand-new right on top of the bed, and the breakfast was enjoyable. Efficient check-in and generally great service. Everything was perfect. The location was marvellous for visiting the Torre Latinoamericana, which was relatively near the venue, and also close to the main attraction.”
8.8Verified guest“A wide range of food was served in the restaurant for breakfast — it was wonderful. The twin room on the upper floors was neat and cheap. The location, about 10–15 minutes' walk from the Zócalo plaza, was great and incredible.”
