My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were extravagant and offered a side view of the cathedral, they were a bit tiny and located at the street side, making it impossible to sleep with open windows. On the bright side, the room was high enough to avoid street noise from the square and daily demonstrations.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were adorned with beautiful Mexican art and ceramic accents, giving them a unique touch, I found my interior room with a small window facing an atrium to be a tad claustrophobic due to the lack of ventilation. The service, on the other hand, was outstanding, with the staff going above and beyond to recommend great restaurants and tours. The location was unbeatable, offering a fabulous view of the Central Zocalo and placing me near iconic landmarks and historic buildings. Dining at the upscale restaurant was a delight, both in terms of the delicious food options and the stunning views. However, I hoped for more variety in the breakfast choices.

The hotel had stunning rooms, very nicely done up and spacious, offering a side view of the cathedral. While comfortable and clean with ample storage, the airless atmosphere and lack of window accessibility were a downside. The service was very helpful and friendly, although the early morning noise from restaurant setup was a slight disturbance. The location overlooking the Cathedral was truly amazing, with wonderful views of the Zocalo square, but issues with food availability were noted. The dining experience was spectacular with Mexican options and a stunning view. The facilities were well-appointed.

I had a fabulous stay at this hotel. The rooms were great, and the highlight was the really good breakfast on the terrace overlooking the roof. I was a bit disappointed to find out my room had no outside window, but the amazing view of the Zocalo and the flag ceremony each night made up for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though small, offered a view of the Cathedral and the Zocalo, but being directly under the dining area was a bit noisy. The staff was consistently welcoming and helpful at every interaction, making the stay pleasant. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Mexico City's central plaza and historic center, although the noise from the restaurant during breakfast could be bothersome. The dining experience was delicious with incredible views from the 6th-floor restaurant. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Staying here was a mix of good and not so good. The hotel sits right underneath a busy area, which is both a blessing and a bit of a curse. The rooms are designed cleverly with lots of storage spaces despite their small size. However, the absence of a magnifying mirror in the bathroom was a downside, and the internet connection left much to be desired.

The hotel offers a convenient location in the center of Mexico City with many historic places nearby. However, the rooms are claustrophobic and in need of renovation, the restaurant is overpriced, and the terrace is a mixed space for smokers and non-smokers.
