Fantastic location and breakfast on the roof was an amazing start to the day , highly recommend Zocalo Central as a base for exploring the historic downtown
Could not have asked for a better experience in central Mexico City - everything from location, room, staff, complementary stack bar, breakfast and rooftop dining was excellent.
Wonderful place to stay in the Historic District. Easy walking distance to so many important sites. There was a fair amount of street noise for rooms facing Cinco de 5 road. But the view was beautiful.

Great location and excellent service by staff.
Roberto at concierge was the best and helped plan our day tours and evening dinners.
This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here - exceptional as usual despite the moderate noise from the square during the day and evening. Love the suites that face the square.
Great location! The breakfast is delicious, and the snacks are a nice bonus that help save a peso. The view is very pleasant and relaxing, and the staff are incredibly friendly and caring. This is my third time staying at this hotel, and I truly recommend it. Love it!!
Centrally located, restaurants and tourist locations within walking distance. Breakfast buffet was included, so it was convenient to eat breakfast before heading out for the day. The complimentary snack bar which was open 24 hrs was also great, we usually grabbed snacks and water before and after our daily trips. Staff was great and helpful. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with hotel and would definitely book it again!!!
Everything was great. The staff was great. Everything was quick and simple. They were able to answer all the questions on how I can get from here to other places in the city, and I would recommend to come here again.
