A+ for Hotel Catedral.
Our stay at Hotel Catedral was great, the staff, the cleaning crew were all great. The location of this hotel is perfect if you want to be close to many attractions including the Cathedral across the street and the plaza. The breakfast buffet was so delicious and we looked forward to it every morning. Also, just wanted to mention that the cleaning crew was awesome.

Amazing Hotel!
First of all they are built on top of an Aztec ruin with glass floors viewing it. Secondly the staff is over the top professional. The suit we had was beautiful and the hospitality is priceless. Right behind the Catderal location is perfect.

Perfect location
Perfect centralized location! Walk on the other side of the street and you're already behind the Catedral. Friendly staff, clean room and great cleaning services. Breakfast was good but nothing outstanding. We had a white wall outside our window, so no view

Extremely professionally run property and staff, comfortable and secure, with an amazing location next to the cathedral and templo mayor. Staying here puts you in the heart of the zocalo and all the historic charms and sites historic CDMX has to offer. Great food and drinks just steps away.
