Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms may feel compact — A guest staying three nights noted the room was a bit small for a longer stay, though the space was well used.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Breakfast buffet is small — While praised for quality and fresh bread, the buffet is described as small, which might not suit everyone.
- Paid airport shuttle only — Airport transfers are available but at an additional cost, so factor that into your budget.

9Verified guest“A clean and distinctive place with a generous, high-quality breakfast that has plenty of options. The front desk staff were genuinely helpful, and the room was nicely decorated. The queen bed was really comfortable.”
9Verified guest“The rooms have been recently renovated and the shower is excellent.”
9Verified guest“This hotel is luxurious and unique, central and close to great restaurants, the Zocalo, and museums. Our standard queen room with a Zocalo view was ready on arrival. We had a great day here and would recommend it.”
9Verified guest“The location is very good; we stayed here on our last night in Mexico and it was a success. The restaurant has an incredible view, and we said a memorable goodbye to Mexico. The room was comfortable, the beds great, and the bathroom's wooden touches made it special. The air conditioning is quiet, and the facilities are modern with tasteful decoration. I loved the handwritten welcome note, which made the stay feel personal despite the hotel's size. We left very happy.”
9Verified guest“Excellent service from the front desk and all staff; they went above and beyond to ensure comfort. The welcome drinks and smiles were appreciated, as were details like the handwritten note, a traditional sweet on the pillow, and easy access to extra bottled water and fruit. The attention to detail in their materials was thoughtful. The room was a bit small for a longer stay (I only stayed 3 nights), but every space was used well. Overall, the hotel is well designed.”
