Pros:

Spotlessly clean. Helpful and kind staff. Windows do isolate quite well from outdoor noise.

Cons:

It is placed in one of these busy merchants streets, so you cannot expect peace during the day.

Pros:

It was very close to the Zocalo, which was a plus.

Cons:

No air conditioner, the room was so hot. They had one little window by the elevator, so I couldn’t keep
It open.

Horrible
Pros:

La propreté

Cons:

Nous avons regretté de séjourner dans cet hôtel. La chambre pour 5 (nous avons 3 enfants) fait 10 m2 et non 25 comme indiqué. Surtout, il n’y a pas de fenêtre et pas de Clim. On étouffe littéralement. Les ventilateurs mis à notre disposition étaient très bruyants et il n’y avait pas assez de place pour les mettre autour et pas de prise. Le quartier est triste et malfamé. Bref séjour horrible qui a gâché notre perception de Mexico en raison de la fatigue accumulée.

Pros:

El hotel esta en pleno centro, si llegas entre las 9am y las 6 pm te parecerá que estás en medio de un tumulto de gente, pero el caos vale la pena por lo céntrico del lugar, no deja de ser una zona compleja, pero si lo tomas con calma no pasa nada.

Cons:

Luego de las 6 pm queda bastante basura de las ventas
