Spotless, spacious room and helpful staff made this a great place for my 4-day stay as a solo first-timer in CDMX. Plus the location can't be beat. Close to everything important for tourists. I would stay again and will recommend it to couples, families and singles.

6/10 Good

Friendly staff. First room was spacious but too loud from the bar across the street. We did not sleep the first night. They offered us several other rooms even with balcony at the same price to choose from. ONLY the INTERIOR (room not facing the street) would work for us, and it did! Recommend not to preorder the breakfast. Food is mediocre. Preordered breakfast is very limited. A breakfast buffet would have been nice. They have a nice coffee shop for premium coffee lovers. Location is very convenient, walkable to many iconic sites for first time visitors.
