Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Simple & old but clean & comfortable enough for the price. Good location. Nice view of the Cathedral. Staff were friendly although language was difficult.
I contracted Covid the afternoon I arrived after I tested. I notified the cleaning staff not to enter to protect her. I wasn't ill but I had tested positive. I would go out to pick up my food or eat at an outdoor restaurant. The manager told me I would have to leave! I would have to go to my families home (I'm on vacation. I have no family there) or she would call the police to remove me or an ambulance to take me to the hospital. I had already gone to the hospital to confirm my self test and was seen by a physician who told me I tested positive but had no medical issues. Two days later I went to another hospital and saw a Pulmonary specialist who requested a scan of my lungs and said the same thing. I am vaccinated. I contracted Covid, however, I was not sick. She then asked me to see my medical records so she could view them. I declined. This was the WORST experience in my travels I have ever experienced. I will NEVER visit the city again. I contacted the Secretaría de Salud who advised me that it was illegal for anyone to demand to view the medical records of someone. I stayed until my departure date and have not and will not return
Service was excellent. Clean and walking distance to Zocalo 2min. Starbucks and a Pharmacy with Dr office on the corner.
Tours by Toribus available at Zocalo. Catedral and many restaurants and shopping walking distance. Calle de Los dulces. Also a street full of Talavera items,
Los Sapos, Barrio del Artista
Most of all you will feel safe
Shower and sink took a long time to drain. Toilet clogged easily and spilled over. Maintenance came promptly and unclogged it, however refused to provide cleaning/disinfectant products as he said since there was no smell, it wasn't a problem. The provided shampoo did not lather.
The location is downtown which is great for tourism, however the cathedral bells ring multiple times an hour not stopping throughout the night. The bells would continuous wake us up and we could hear the neighbours also waking up as the walls were very thin.
Regular cleaning staff and front desk personnel were nice and friendly.
Very convenient location. Not even a block away from Zocalo. The installations are great and has a restaurant downstairs. Oxxo convenient store, pharmacy and shoppings super closed by.
What I liked about this place was its location. Museums,
historical sites, great restaurants, shopping places, all were within walking distance. The hotel itself has a great restaurant that offers a wide variety of typical regional dishes.
The things I "did not like "about this hotel is the noise that you could hear from the traffic, but believe its minimal.
Over all for me this was a great place and the cost is very affordable.
This was a great location rooms were clean and staff doing covid precautions and housekeeping staff were great. There were a lot of things broken and falling apart and the beds were really hard and difficult to sleep on. The first day the shower didnt work at all the housekeeping staff came and shook the minerals around in the shower head until some water came out, but that is the kind of fix for everything there. Half my window was replaced with wood and the track for the wooden blind was broken so it was impossible to close at night... great location and it was great once but lots of things were falling apart and the beds were really uncomfortable
Very nice rooms, clean, our room 706 had an amazing view of the main cathedral and was gorgeous at night with its lighting. Bells toil all night but with window closed, we didn't hear them. Restaurant on-site had my favorite breakfast of our 2 week trip. Excellent valet parking and very comfortable bed.
Was a nice clean room that was good and central. However beds werent overly comfortable and the room was very hot had to contiusoly run the airconditioning evern though it was cold outside.
