"El baño de la habitación que nos asignaron no está en condiciones de uso. El baño no tenía puerta, solo una cortina de baño. Si le pusieras puerta al baño, seguramente no podría abrir porque está muy cerca de las camas. El baño tiene la regadera a centímetros de la tasa de baño y del lavabo. No tiene techo y la instalación eléctrica está expuesta. Las camas son muy viejas y los colchones y soportes de la cama ya están doblados. Puede ser un hotel ideal para un mochilero pero, para una familia...

"This hotel has ruined me for all other hotels! This boutique hotel was a peak experience for our stay in Mexico City. It is located on a lovely, quiet street, only about a 10 minute walk to the historic city center sights of the Cathedral, the Zocalo, and Templo Mayor. The surrounding streets are pulsing with foot traffic and small shops. It is not tourist territory and it feels very safe, even as night falls. The hotel itself is gorgeous architecturally."

"The room was small but clean, same with bathroom. I had to ask for toilet paper! Edgar the manager was friendly and helpful. Think he was the only English speaker. Hotel is on a busy main road in the historic centre of Mexico City. Next to subway station. Ok for a few nights as a solo. It’s basic. Don’t book if you’re expecting luxury! Definitely wouldn’t recommend for families… It’s Mexico City, I expected it to be busy and bustling and it didn’t disappoint. Seemed to be safe enough in the...
