Localização excelente. Hotel bonito. Cafeteria top. Bons funcionários.

What made our stay truly special was Didier, whose kindness and dedication created a wonderful
Pros:

My husband and I arrived at the hotel from Mexico City Airport feeling very distressed after a very uncomfortable journey. The concierge and reception staff were incredibly kind and caring, which immediately helped us feel welcomed. Throughout our stay, the bellboy Didier was exceptional – always helpful, attentive, and genuinely trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible. One day he surprised us with a lovely cake and a thoughtful note wishing us wonderful memories in Mexico, which was such a beautiful gesture. He also recommended a fantastic traditional Mexican restaurant, Café de Tacuba, for dinner on our first night, which we absolutely loved. I cannot thank Didier enough for his kindness, the care he showed to us and to every guest, and for helping make our stay truly special and memorable.

********************
Breakfast was unfortunately not the highlight of our stay. The quality of the breakfast was fairly basic and the coffee was of poor quality. On our first morning, we walked towards the fruit buffet and were abruptly told that breakfast was waiter service only and that we should not be there, which felt a bit rude. It would have been much nicer if the staff had simply explained the breakfast system to us in a more welcoming way.

That said, the location of the hotel is excellent – very close to the Historic Centre and many great restaurants. Our room was spacious and comfortable, although the sound insulation between rooms could be improved, as we were able to hear the television playing in the neighbouring room during the night.

Cons:

The main downside was that the front door of the hotel was often left open, which made the reception and breakfast areas quite cold, especially as the temperature in the mornings and evenings dropped to around 3°C. This made breakfast time a little uncomfortable and the space didn’t feel very cosy.

Breakfast itself was fairly basic and the coffee quality could definitely be improved.
Additionally, the sound insulation between rooms could be better, as we could hear the television playing in the neighbouring room during the night.

Great location and amenities
Pros:

Lovely building with good amenities. Comfortable beds, complimentary water available on all floors. Compact but well equipped gym. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. We had booked an airport transfer through the hotel which never showed and when we asked for the staff’s assistance in getting a refund, this was actioned within a few hours of a request being made. The food& drinks provided as part of the stay were also great and very convenient. Lastly, breakfast and the waiters working the breakfast shift were great too. Whilst I prefer the Roma Norte area of Mexico City, this hotel was a perfect choice for exploring Centro Historico.

Cons:

This is not an isolated problem, but rather a feature of most building in Mexico, but the sound proofing in the room was not amazing and we could often hear if people were talking in the communal area outside our room.

Top level service and central location
Pros:

It’s only a few blocks from the Zocalo and some of the top museums so if you want to stay in the historic district, it’s ideal. But the distinguishing feature is the service…very guest focused, five-star level

Cons:

It’s location made it noisy some nights, as we heard music from nearby

Pros:

Breakfast was very good and available all morning, Additionally the hotel cafe is open 24 hours for free coffee, soft drinks and snack food for registered visitors. The hotel is well located for most tourist highlights of central Mexico City. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We originally booked a room facing the street which was very noisy all night long. Fortunately, the hotel gave us a room that was very quiet as we requested a room change.

Un hotel que cumple las expectativas
Pros:

El desayuno es top. Hay una gran variedad de opciones que se pueden tomar para no pasar hambre en todo el día. Los camareros son muy amables y muy atentos en todo momento. Además, incluye los platos de la cafetería, exceptuando cócteles, etc., en el precio. A su vez, te puedes autoabastecer de todo el agua que quieras, ya sea del tiempo o fría. La ubicación, por último, es excelente, estando en pleno centro.

Cons:

Nada que añadir, repetiremos cuando volvamos a Ciudad de México.
