As soon as you arrive the greeters at the entrance are amazing and greet you like if you just came home, our greeters name was David he was so nice the whole 5 days we were there! Then when you check in they they treat you to a shot of tequila or fresh water! Breakfast was included with our stay so they give you information about that and also the free snacks. Our room was very clean and had an amazing view of the cathedral!! The room was a good size for my husband and I. The bathroom was also really clean with 2 sinks and a really nice shower. There was a protest when we stayed but the staff let’s you know ahead of time. Overall next time we travel to Mexico City we will stay there again!

An amazingly beautiful hotel, in the best place to see the historical center of the city, extremely comfortable (excellent linen, comfortable beds, etc.), a lush breakfast on a terrace with a view of the central/old square/cathedral, and a policy in which all is included; breakfast, free water bottles and apples as much as you want when you want, a small cafeteria that serves salads, sandwiches and drinks (except alcoholic) for free (yes, completely for free) 24/7 in the lobby, friendly staff. This was my second time at the hotel and I simply loved, loved, loved it.

“Excellent staff. A shout out to Eduardo and Victoria. Don't stay there if noise sensitive...”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 6 nights
The biggest negative of this hotel for me was that there was a lot of noise in the hallway from staff. Not necessarily talking but the cleaning staff begins to clean early in the morning and woke me up almost every day with doors slamming when they would go in and out of the closet and with vacuuming and banging and various other loud sounds. When I would go back to rest in the afternoon they were cleaning again and the vacuum and doors slamming went on for another two or three hours. The hotel is spotless but it comes at a price if you are noise sensitive or a poor sleeper (like me). Also the restaurant served the same items on their buffet for breakfast every day. If you are vegetarian there were limited healthy breakfast options.
Staff: Eduardo and Victoria who are the primary concierge staff couldn't have been more helpful (also Valeria although we didn't see her as often). They went above and beyond in every way! They were warm but highly professional in accommodating every question and/or request. The staff who work at the desk and the lobby staff were truly a gem as well. Restaurant: The views from the restaurant are spectacular and the staff is outstanding. Their dedication to high quality service particularly comes through when dining in the evening. They were exceptional in both service and food preparation. I would very highly recommend the gourmet vegetarian tasting menu with 10 courses which was one of the best meals I have ever had in my entire life. Omar (who I believe is the maitre D) escorted me and my husband to the kitchen as an extra perk to meet the chefs who had prepared my meal. This was an amazing experience!! The waiter also provided a detailed explanation of the ingredients used as each course was served. Even if you are not a vegetarian this was a truly extraordinary experience which I would highly recommend to anyone dining there for dinner.
