Wonderful place! Staff was kind and helpful, the hotel and rooms are beautiful and clean - we would definitely come back
Pros:

Staff, garden/pool area, very clean and well maintained rooms and common areas, quiet

Cons:

Poor WiFi connection, bathroom could be improved (not fully closed off from the bedroom, water pressure low, shower not isolated well from the rest of the bathroom so showering wets the whole bathroom)

Short distance to centro. Clean safe place to stay. Disliked smell of bathroom.
Pros:

Amazing receptionist and security. We felt safe. Close to the centro (Zocalo). Plus that this hotel has an elevator. Beautiful balcony with a view.

Cons:

Did not like the smell from the bathroom. During our entire stay it smelled like sewer and the smell did not go away. Even if we closed the door to the bathroom. The smell was unbearable. Seems like there might be a pipe/sewer issue.

Pros:

The location was perfect to walk around everywhere in the central district. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Felt clean, safe.

Cons:

The birds in the courtyard chirping like there’s no tomorrow. Earplugs or noise canceling headphones would be ideal. Also please look into the WiFi it cuts in and out.

Left early due to noise and surrounding area feeling unsafe for solo female traveller.
Pros:

Clean bed and towels.

Cons:

Paper thin walls. Very noisy. Locks on doors are very basic. Streets surrounding hotel do not feel safe at night. Felt expensive for what I paid.
