Beautiful looking hotel, very friendly staff, very nice rooms. There is currently a lot of construction outside therefore a lot of closed streets and missing concrete due to the World Cup 2026, but otherwise I had a great time at this hotel.

This hotel is a beautiful building with amazing, generous staff. ​My dad and I arrived extremely tired after taking a red-eye flight, but the staff was immediately helpful and incredibly generous, which was such a relief. The hotel had a beautiful atmosphere and was stunningly decorated for Día de Muertos. Having a front door security guard also made us feel very safe and protected throughout our stay. ​The location is perfect, too, as it's within easy walking distance of the main central area and the cathedral. I absolutely loved this hotel and am so grateful for the wonderful experience my dad and I had; it truly made us happy.
