We stayed at this lovely boutique hotel in Centro for a few nights. The location is great, very central and in walking distance to museums and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and ready to help. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, well appointed and quiet even considering it was facing the busy square where the hotel is located. Breakfast was delicious and included many local food options, as well as tasty fresh fruit and freshly squeezed juice. I would certainly recommend this hotel and stay here again in the future.

“Superb service, food and location”

Lovely 18-room hotel in a sympathetically renovated old building just five minutes walk from the main square, Zocalo and close to two metro stations. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and spacious.

Lovely 18-room hotel in a sympathetically renovated old building just five minutes walk from the main square, Zocalo and close to two metro stations. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and spacious. The shower was excellent, with lovely toiletries from L'Occitane. Breakfast is included and is super delicious (fresh fruit, bread, Mexican specialties, omelets and porridge). The top floor restaurant, Tezontle, was a real highlight: Oaxacan with a modern twist and excellent cocktails and a huge range of mescals. The front desk service was superb: really helpful and friendly. Note that many don't have exterior windows and instead look into a light sunny covered central courtyard. And there's not a lot of soundproofing, so bring earplugs!

“A wonderful oasis in the heart of Centro”

A great hotel in the heart of Centro. Situated on a small plaza and right across the street from the CDMX Museum. They kept a ton of the original - centuries-old building intact - making for a lovely mix of old and new. The staff was lovely and incredibly attentive. Our room (#217) was awesom… more

A great hotel in the heart of Centro. Situated on a small plaza and right across the street from the CDMX Museum. They kept a ton of the original - centuries-old building intact - making for a lovely mix of old and new. The staff was lovely and incredibly attentive. Our room (#217) was awesome, well-decorated, spacious, clean and a great place to sleep. It overlooked the plaza, which was great most of the time. If your stay includes a Saturday night, I recommend a room that faces the back of the hotel. The plaza was loud until 10p on the Saturday. That was the only negative of the three days we stayed there. The included breakfast was perfect. Fresh fruit, eggs, great coffee and great service.

“Disappointing”

I really wanted to like this hotel, but it was ultimately a disappointment. Location is a hundred metres or so from the main square and the area seems lively. Check-in was efficient and friendly, first impressions were great - it's an old building that's been interestingly converted to a small hotel. I think some (most?) of the "standard" rooms lack an outside window, just glass doors to a courtyard - my room had a window & small balcony overlooking the street behind, which was lovely. The in-house restaurant served an excellent dinner on a terrace. So far, so very good. However, the shutters don't properly keep out the light so the blackout was not only poor, but the light was pretty much exactly shining in my eyes. The room was very noisy, both from the street and the terrace restaurant which was directly above. The WiFi kept just going off, both in the evening and the next morning. The shower is a good size, with decent water pressure, but the floor doesn't drain properly, so there are dirty looking stains where the water just sits. Not good, not acceptable. Breakfast in the downstairs part of the restaurant was tasty, but it's from a limited "free breakfast" menu section - anything else is extra. that's not a free free breakfast, especially when the staff pester for a tip in cash. Overall, I really don't think I'd stay again.
