to get started.

The wide range of choices for breakfast and the excellent dinner choices that we enjoyed. The entire staff was very professional and helpful in all of our needs. We look forward to returning in the future. Since it was an Anniversary trip, the staff provided a basket of treats in our room.

Robert, United States of America

The breakfast was far above expectations. The food was delicious and varied. The wait staff was very attentive and made every effort to please. The location, overlooking the main plaza and cathedral, was unparalleled.

Roger, United States of America

The breakfast variety, quality and service was outstanding. The location high above the Zocalo added to the experience. The 6th floor balcony restaurant/lounge was very conducive to an afternoon cocktail. The dinner there is also outstanding...I had the best octopus ever. The room, which was a suite, had a view of the Cathedral and the Zocalo. With all the activities going on there, the sound proofing was remarkably efficient. The bed and sheets were very comfortable. Isabel kept our room in pristine condition and so kindly interacted with us each day. The room was a very pleasant respite to return to after a busy day of touring the City. Would readily stay again at the hotel.

Steven, United States of America

The breakfast was good and the 24 hours grab and go food.

Vicky, United States of America

Fantastic location, very clean hotel, comfy beds, good showers and amazing breakfast with a gorgeous view. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Linda, United States of America

I’ve lodged at quite a few hotels throughout the world and this was probably one of, if not, the best experiences I’ve had. The staff were the best part, managing to be both professional and incredibly warm. The hotel reminds me of a boutique hotel in the states and as such there is special attention paid to unique service gestures. For example, homemade bread or a welcome note in your room with a sweet treat unique to Mexico. I also enjoyed the design of the hotel. I especially like how Mexican architecture incorporates the natural element inside their buildings by adding plants and trees-this hotel had that. I would highly recommend selecting this hotel for your stay in the historic center.

Toelsie, United States of America

Amazing buffet breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Our room (a junior suite with a view of the Zocolo) was large and well-appointed. Several steps in the room and along the hallway to get there. The lobby cafe and the restaurant upstairs were quite good (although a bit short-staffed at the cafe. Great location right on the main square -- we walked across to see the Diego Rivera murals at the National Palace; so convenient. Earlier in our trip we stayed in la Condesa and it was an entirely different experience of the city; both good.

Deborah, United States of America

Location is great for exploring The central historic district. Excellent bathroom and walk-in shower.

Douglas, United States of America

My Aunt loved her surprise for her 73bday!! She loved the view said she would love to stay there again!

Concepcion, United States of America

Breakfast was sometimes served, sometimes self-serve; I never knew which it would be. Waiters were not attentive; I felt it was because I was alone and old. Dining room was cold. And the first morning, Sunday morning, there was an obvious escort with a man she had spent the night with. They were not a couple.
