We love staying at this hotel. This is our second time and we love it! The cafe that is open 24 hours is great! The Balcón restaurant was phenomenal! Highly recommend staying here if you are traveling to Mexico. The concierge service helped us with tickets to a last minute Christian Nodal concert and they choose the best seats for us.

Good location for all the major city centre sites and some great restaurants in the immediate area (including their own rooftop restaurant. Bedding/mattress was too soft for us, but the room is otherwise excellent. We loved the free water and snacks in the lobby and would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Mexico city

The hotel was very cute and well maintained. The biggest draw back is its location right in front of the presidential palace and the Zocolo. There was a major protest March for international women’s day that was directly down the street in front and ended at the Zocolo. This March had thousands of people in it and was completely bonkers. We were told “there will be a women’s arch in the 8th”. We were not told what it would be like. It was chaos. No cars, taxis, Ubers could even get close to the hotel. Getting in and out of the hotel was a disaster due to the safety shutters, which are akin to hurricane shutters, being down. The employees of the hotel failed to convey to people who are not from there the enormity of this March and what exactly would be happening. If I had know, we would have switched hotels before that day. Lastly, the next day(the day we were leaving) there was another protest with blocked streets again. My flight was at 1 pm but I had to leave by 6:30 am just to be able to get out of there. This is a cute hotel and very walkable but be aware that a lot of protests happen in front of it due to where the presidential palace is located exactly behind.
