In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Social, open communal spaces — Guests frequently mention the inviting layout of the shared areas, which encourage both mingling and relaxation.
  • Helpful and friendly staff — Multiple reviews single out the front desk for being friendly, easygoing, and effective at check-in and requests.
  • Clean, comfortable rooms — Guests repeatedly note clean rooms, comfortable beds, and the availability of Wi-Fi and private bathrooms.
  • Convenient location — The hotel is close to malls, a coffee shop, and a private museum, and is a short ride from the Angel of Independence.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Low ratings for rooms and value — Rooms and value score 7.5 and 7.4 — below the hotel's overall 7.7 — suggesting the basics may not always match expectations for the price.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals unless you arrange otherwise.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — At least one review mentions a shared bathroom, implying not all rooms have private facilities — check your room type.
