Excellent location, walkable area, very close to El Zócalo. It's a commercial area, the hotel is surrounded by a variety of local businesses and commercial premises. The entrance is a little hidden, it was a little hard to find at the beginning but the staff of the hotel is very friendly and we had no problem with the check in.

The area around the Hotel can be a bit seedy and very loud during the day. It is not too convenient to many CDMX attractions but is 4 blocks from the Zocalo and 2 blocks from the ruins of temple mayor. There no "upscale" restaurants near the hotel. The facility itself was very clean but bareboned, no phone in the room, no shower mat. I would return iff my regular hotel was unavailable. Staff was competent but not friendly.

Its in good walkable historical center But so noisy. 1. The repairman drill 12 midnight. I have to go down and ask him to stop !!!!!!! How is it possible they do their repair in the night as we have to get up early 5 am and try to get some sleep. 2 bad water pipes. When other rooms open their faucet all the other room shake. I think its old building that they are not allowed to renovate. 3. Noisy neighbors. Becuse the wall are so thin and they put beds on the same wall of two different rooms. I wasnt lucky with my room and although i was so tired i have to struggle with noises to fall sleep. But i like the design and staff although dont understand english but they help alot
