I stayed here solo for 5 nights in Febuary 2022. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the Zocalo on a street that looks a bit sketchy at first, but is not unsafe. The hotel is close to the hustle-bustle of Centro Historico, but the neighborhood has more of a residential feel. There is an OXXO convenience store next door, a mom-and-pop grocery store across the street, and bakeries, shops, and eateries nearby that are a bit cheaper than those right in the heart of Centro Historico. There is no elevator in the hotel. The hallways are bright and gleaming white, and the tiled floors are spotlessly clean. The kitchen in my room was modern, but only had basic utensils: one pot, one skillet, one very dull knife. Coffee cups were super small, only about 5 ounces. If you plan on cooking, you need to bring or purchase salt, pepper, seasonings, cooking oil, napkins, and dishwashing liquid. The sofa was very old and worn, and is in the kitchen, which was a little odd. I didn't use it. There's also a TV in the kitchen. Even though I was traveling solo, I booked a room with 2 beds because it was slightly bigger than a single room. I took the bed that was by the window. The other bed was only about 8 inches (20 cm) from the closet, making it difficult to get things in and out of it. My room faced the street, but I heard almost no street noise, probably because the shutters were padded with foam insulation. I also didn't hear noise from other guests, but that may have been because the hotel seemed half empty. I liked that the room windows opened, which enabled me to get fresh air in the mornings. Wifi was iffy, and dropped the connection several times. Okay for browsing, but not if you need to work online. There are outlets by the head of the bed to charge your electronics., as well as elsewhere in the room. There was a full-length mirror in the room, but in order to look in it I had to move the padded bench that was at the foot of the bed out of the way. The bathroom is very small, with little space for cosmetics and toiletries. The shower had a small plastic disk covering the drain because the drain had a terrible stench emanating from it. However, I didn't notice the disk my first morning, and flooded the bathroom because the shower floor is flush with the bathroom floor. I took cold showers my first two mornings. I ran the water for several minutes, but it never warmed up. Then I read a review on another website that said you have to turn on the water in the bathroom sink, let it get hot, and THEN turn on the shower. It worked, but that should have been explained at check-in. The rooftop terrace is lovely, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The gym is very minimal, just a broken treadmill, exercise bike, and a weight machine. One odd thing was that fixtures in the room were too tall. I'm 5'2" (1.57 m), which is only a couple inches shorter than average. Yet the kitchen counter and bathroom sink hit me at just below chest level, the m
