Such a beautiful space with accommodating employees who were very kind throughout. The chilaquiles verdes son lo mejor! Y la terraza, the Terrance was a dream come true for a new person traveling to CDMX. Very unique format and architecture throughout the hotel and it felt very classy and peaceful throughout my stay

Everything about this hotel was great the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, the location is right in the city center and you can find so many things near by.
