My husband and I stayed for three nights at the Zocalo Central Hotel in historic downtown and it was an amazing experience. The room was extremely clean. We had free breakfast every morning and 24 hours snacks available to us in their café. The staff was extremely polite and everything was within walking distance to us. I will highly recommend this hotel to anybody that wants to have an amazing experience in Mexico City.

We loved our stay at Zócalo Central! Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the Zócalo and an incredible rooftop restaurant. Most of the staff gave us 5-star service—so warm and welcoming. The only downside was the coffee bar attendant, who wasn’t as friendly. Overall, a fantastic experience and we’d definitely stay again!

The hotel is about 40 feet walking from the zocalo. The hotel is good. Small. The staff is very friendly. The only minus was the bed. It was a full siz not even a queen size and the bed was not comfortable at all. The breakfast buffet was great and the staff very friendly. The plus is the view from the terrace. You can see the zocalo. At night the restaurant menu is kind of different. But it was a good experience for the location.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Zocalo Central as a 1st time visitor to Mexico City. The location is excellent, within walking distance to many interesting sites and a great starting point from which to explore the historic district. Service at the hotel is wonderful. Everyone is kind and helpful. I became ill during my stay and needed hot water to make a cup of soup: thank you to the lovely young women working at the reception desk on the 6th floor bar/restaurant who helped me. The breakfast buffet is delicious (and again, wonderful service) with an incredible view over the Constitution Plaza and Metropolitan Cathedral. The room was clean and modern, and the hotel bed + pillows were extremely comfortable. Loved the CE Bigelow amenities in the bathroom. Overall, a fantastic hotel - highly recommend and would gladly stay here again on a future visit.
