I can only give it three stars because the Wi-Fi was really a problem for me and I was trying to accomplish some personal issues and it was almost impossible... there is a lot of echoing in the hallways where the rooms are, some simple rubber stoppers on the doors would prevent people slamming them and creating a large boom every time somebody closes their door... some better quality doors would help a lot to keep the noise out.. breakfast was good the people were really nice I cannot fault the people that work here they were great to deal with...

El desayuno muy rico. La ubicación muy buena, cerca de la catedral.

Había mucho ruido en las habitaciones por las noches por los negocios cercanos y/o los aires acondicionados de las otras habitaciones. La cama y las almohadas no estaban cómodas.

Dejaron solo 1 botella de agua para las dos noches para dos personas, al menos deberían de dar 1 botella por persona y por noche. El papel de baño fue insuficiente.

We arrived at 3:07 pm, on June 11 2026, it took more than 30 minutes for our room to be ready. Got to the room 411, air conditioning was not working. maintenance came to fix it, still not working. We were put in room 402 and again air conditioning was not working, closet door couldn't be open. By 9:00 pm, we were exhausted, at this time we were moved again to a new room, 405, where the TV was not working and the tiniest closet door was stucked. Next morning on my way to the bathroom almost fall, there was lot of water coming out of the refrigerator. This has been one of my most disappointing experience in a hotel.

Hotel is very nice overall but the standard rooms need renovating. New furniture, better mattresses. I stayed in the balcony room once before and that one was great but this time I stayed in a standard room thinking that it too would be decent. I expected a difference in quality but I did not expect to sleep on a springy mattress that poked my ribs and very old rusty furniture. The bed sheets felt very low quality as well, rough material. I would stay here again but I would stay in a balcony since they obviously put all their money on these rooms. Again, that is to be expected but only to a certain extent.

This is probably one of the most convenient hotels to stay in the Colonial Zone. Breakfast buffet daily, lunch of the day for $300 pesos, gym, parking, rooftop solarium, elevator, right in the middle of everything, friendly staff and affordable. I have tried three hotels from the area, this is the most complete.

Overall its a Hotel well located, the área is in the Center of the colonial area, ver y busy and noisy at night. Hotel staff on average some were friendly and helpful but others didnt even care, lacking customer service. Specially one of the hotel porters, the receptionist told us that he would take care of our luggage, but he Just smirked and Just pointed where \"we\" had to put our luggage. Dont know if its a cultural thing but we encountered many situations where there is Just no attention to service.

The staff was also incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and made the stay feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. Overall, a great option if you want convenience, good service, and to be close to all the nightlife and food spots.
