The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. However the beds and the overall condition of the hotel was not great. The area it’s amazing though everything in downtown is at a walking distance.

Staff was awesome very respectful and kind. Great location many restaurants and stores, and the Cathedral are in walking distance. The only downside is the WIFI it wouldn’t connect. Other than that I felt safe, I was coming from Michoacan and it was a good to stay to rest for only one night before going to the airport the next morning.

Great hotel in excellent location. My only complaint was i was a bit down a hall and my wifi signal did not work half of the time, so make sure you request a room with good signal.

The hotel was conveniently located and among the best priced in the downtown area. We obtained an upgraded spacious room with king beds when our room was not ready upon arrival. The shower water was hot.

Friendly people good buffet breakfast for $7.50 each. The walls and windows are thin so you hear noises outside but did not bother me much. Needs some fixing which looks like they started to do on the 7th floor. Wood stay again since great location.

Area was good distance from main road therefore quiet to sleep.
Restrooms had mold, water came out from the shower and tile was falling off.
A refrigerator would have been convenient.

The hotel is conveniently located near the central plazas and the shopping area east of Independencia Sur. The cost of the hotel compares favorably with other hotels in the area.
It would have been nice if there were more amenities, such as a coffee maker and iron in the room. A fitness center would be a big plus too. The room was pretty clean, but there was a little mold near the ceiling of the shower.
Basic older-ish hotel in a Central location, in a decently safe area. Would recommend.
The only thing is it was under renovation when I stayed. And in my case, I was put in a room right next to the construction. So the hallway was in upheaval and the construction noise was kind of annoying.
Maybe ask for a room NOT (next to/on the same floor/ below) the construction.

Older building, Easy registration 3rd floor. windows where old and you can hear the cars. The bathroom smell either to sewage or mold. Very little privacy with a vent in the main door. I don’t recommend a tub for people with disabilities or older because is mounted a high step and complicated to get out. The bed was comfortable. Hot water. 4 blocks from the catedral and Metro station. I recommend this hotel if you will be one or two nights for sleep and shower.

Rooms given were so out of service. Toilet would not flush and bathroom was really small. Could not sleep because of construction. We didget another room which was great. All you would need is to check if everything functions.
