“On a Quiet street but can get very noisy in the rooms”

When I checked in around 10 am was told the room was not available.

When I checked in around 10 am was told the room was not available. However, they offered me a room at their sister property across the street at Cinco de Mayo.I opted to stay and relaxed for a while in a room adjoining the restaurant and checked-in later after going out into the town. The staff were helpful and accommodating. I was given a room on the ground level near the stairs which was very noisy as the housekeeping staff were chatting and cleaning the rooms. I then requested to be moved and was given a room on level 3 towards the far end which had two queen size beds. The rooms are all built around an open atrium making it look very much like some kind of a hostel. Owing to the steel construction it can get very noisy. The doors are made of steel too with frosted glass allowing light into the rooms. The curtains to were not thick enough to prevent outside light from filtering in. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean with hot water and clean towels. There was no bedside lamp or power sockets except for one by the TV. No mirror or hanging hooks in the room. Basically, very low frills. A few touches here and there could greatly improve this place. Breakfast was MXN 40 if booked in advance and no breakfast on Mondays since the restaurant is closed! However, the chilequilas was good with the egg, bread, juice and coffee. There was no other reasonable place for breakfast in the immediate vicinity so this is deft a good option. The hotel is good for its location on a quiet street and not far from the square.

“OK and Clean”

Well we have been with an organized tour for about 3 nights there. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, the rest ok. The problem was in the morning you needed to reserve a breakfast the day before and there are just chilequilas (eggs with beans, tomato sauce, cream and nachos) available. You won´t... more

Well we have been with an organized tour for about 3 nights there. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, the rest ok. The problem was in the morning you needed to reserve a breakfast the day before and there are just chilequilas (eggs with beans, tomato sauce, cream and nachos) available. You won´t find any breakfast around... the beds are very small for sleeping with to people in. It was ok but has more a hostel atmosphere than a hotel one. When it was (very) noisy at night no one of the hotel crew said sth. about that, so there was up till 5 am a very loud Party.

“The price is right, but no frills at all...”

We (3 grown women) just got done staying 2 nights here. We were definitely impressed by the price and not having to share bathrooms. We got room 401, which is three full-size beds and a bathroom. We're used to staying in private rooms in hostels, so this was not hugely different. The bads: - ... more

We (3 grown women) just got done staying 2 nights here. We were definitely impressed by the price and not having to share bathrooms. We got room 401, which is three full-size beds and a bathroom. We're used to staying in private rooms in hostels, so this was not hugely different. The bads: - Room was first from the entrance, meaning that we heard all things. - Room did not have windows, which made it hard to air anything out. - Slept with doors basically open to allow some air. - Lots of random noise at night and in the morning. The goods: - Location was great, with short walk to main squares. - Lots of good food and bars nearby. - Staff was super friendly. - Price was right.
