Centrally located, I literally watched the "Desfile del 20 de Noviembre" from my Room's window. Only a few steps from El Mercadito de la Abasolo y Peatonal. So many good Restaurants it's hard to choose from & too many to list them. Clean, clean, clean... Impressive. I felt I was I living in the Mexican Revolutionary times, Classic and Contemporary... All & all safified %...!
This place is great if you are on a budget but don't want to stay in a dump.. The hotel is very clean, the staff is very helpful, the rates are great around $45 a night with breakfast included! It has a very nice feel to it but it's not luxury, it's simple, modest but a great choice for a 2 star hotel.. i would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to save money without sacrificing comfort, safety, and cleanliness.. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ 1/2
A very cozy and charming hotel. People play a huge role in any service, and here the staff is wonderful, friendly, and responsive. Thank you very much.
Nice hotel, very clean, good location, friendly staff. Good for business travels for a very fair price. The bed was a little hard on my back but not bad. As its name suggests it has a colonial style which I like but if you expect a gym or swimming pool, this is not for you. Amazing art on the walls. I liked it.
I have had really great experiences here. I was even able to work using my laptop with their Wi-Fi. If I ever didn't like the room I was assigned to they always tried to accommodate me. Really thankful!
my husband and I liked staying at this hotel, breakfast included buffet, good staff, clean, comfortable, always cleaned
The Hotel is awesome just that the color is no more yellow rather it is Blue now!! Met Cynthia at reception and she is excellent and very professional !! However the other lady Gaby is unprofessional!! I highly recommend it for a short trip!!!
It is located in a conducive environment, the rooms are well kept, but there are few upgrades needed like the room I occupied had few numbers of it's wall plugs not working.
