Spotless, spacious room and helpful staff made this a great place for my 4-day stay as a solo first-timer in CDMX. Plus the location can't be beat. Close to everything important for tourists. I would stay again and will recommend it to couples, families and singles.

The air conditioning unit did not seem to work. However, the staff was friendly, and I appreciated the complementary purified water.

6/10 Good

Friendly staff. First room was spacious but too loud from the bar across the street. We did not sleep the first night. They offered us several other rooms even with balcony at the same price to choose from. ONLY the INTERIOR (room not facing the street) would work for us, and it did! Recommend not to preorder the breakfast. Food is mediocre. Preordered breakfast is very limited. A breakfast buffet would have been nice. They have a nice coffee shop for premium coffee lovers. Location is very convenient, walkable to many iconic sites for first time visitors.

Great experience with open balcony. Room was a bit small but compensated by balcony and great overall service.

8/10 Very good

The hotel staff was friendly. The room was clean and tidy, but had limited amenities. The area surrounding the hotel was noisy and dirty with a lot of people, so we didn’t feel the safest going out after dark. However, if you’re looking for a stay in the historic city center, you’re within walking distance of many top attractions, which might be perfect for your travels. Overall, we would recommend this hotel.

Everything was good exept the musky smell in the room mostly at night. don't know if it was the previous clients or the ghost of the original owner Mr. Gillow. The pillows need to be replaces. But very good location!! Would stay again!!
