Rooms and bathrooms are a little small - but clean and in great location. Great value for the $$ ... one of the cheaper options near Historical Town Center during Day of Dead festivities.

While this is an old building, it has tons of historic charm. The staff were helpful and available for every question we had. The room we stayed in was small but I did read that going in and there were no surprises.

Very hard beds. We had room with two double beds. Very uncomfortable. We asked if they could do something about this (perhaps add a mattress topper etc.) and they gave us a key to a room with a king size bed to see if the bed was better. It was. But when we returned to say that we would like to switch there was discussion among the front desk people and it turned out this change was not possible so they gave us keys to another room to try out (it had double beds) and the beds were just as hard. We stayed with the hard bed for the remaining three nights. But for the hard bed, Hotel Principal is a good property right in the heart of CDMX.

Great location. King bedroom is a very small room. Can barely move in the bathroom. Couple hairs in the bed sheets makes your wonder if they were changed... and wasn't comfortable. Cool building and very nice / helpful front desk staff.

This hotel is in a great location near the zocalo, the alameda and the cathedral - the center. It is clean and the staff are great. The rooftop restaurant is delicious - thanks Yvonne - an excellent server who is so nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Located in the center of the city it was easy accessible to many historic places and to tour group meeting places. Easy to get an Uber… maybe 4 minutes at tops. The staff was friendly. I don’t speak Spanish and the staff spoke enough English so we could communicate.
