8.9Verified guest“Central location made it easy to get to attractions, shops, and restaurants. The rooftop pool was relaxing after a long day, and breakfast had a fantastic range of fresh, tasty options. Staff were wonderful.”
8.9Verified guest“Unbeatable location in a quiet area, close to the Zocalo, cathedrals, restaurants, shops, and art museums, plus a main pedestrian street. For coffee or tea, try Cafe Brujula nearby. Breakfast was amazing with a huge variety of excellent food.”
8.9Verified guest“The hotel is spotlessly clean and reasonably spacious. Staff are top-notch, and the location near the best restaurants is quiet and hard to beat.”
