Excelente lugar para pasar un rato u hospedarse. Limpio. El trato de los empleados es muy amable.
Buen servicio, no acepta pagos con tarjeta pero es un lugar tranquilo, céntrico. Y para una noche está bastante bien, limpió y agradable
Buen lugar para el precio y pasar dos o hasta tres noches pero uno que otro estaba como mal humorados, no son tan amables. En cuanto a la seguridad por la noche tengan cuidado, pasan por un callejoncito y esta medio feo.
Buen lugar para descansar, estuvimos 9 noches por cambio de residencia nos atendieron bien, los colchones son muy duros, aun así lo recomiendo!!!
Es muy Bueno Si estás de Paso Pero hay que aclarar que es un hotel De bajo costo entonces lo que te vas a encontrar tampoco puede sobrepasar por lo que estás pagando pero para el costo está muy bien Full Recomendado
Ubicacion excelente, a 10 cuadras del zocalo y centro historico, entre las avenidas Pino Suarez, San Pablo Y Fray Servando Mier. Fui desde Peru con mi familia. Los taxistas me traumaron por la aparente poca seguridad, pero la verdad es que no paso nada (mas inseguridad hay en Peru). Fredy el señor que atiende tiene buen trato. Instalaciones adecuadas, tv pantallas plana, agua caliente, ropa de cama limpia, dormitorios aseados; faltaria que coloquen percheros una silla, mesita y cortinas a los baños. Precio muy economico (200 pesos por dos personas = 37 soles). Pueden mejorar. Gracias por la atencion. VIVA MEXICO
Visito muy seguido con la compañía de mi esposa y honestamente vale la pena para ir a lo que vas costos no tan elevados por menos de $300 pasas la noche si lo vale Saludos amigos del Recreo
Sencillo pero muy limpio nadie te molesta, es un lugar perfecto para pasar ya sea un encuentro con alguien o toda la noche!!
Lively market area with craft stalls & food trucks, plus Aztec & colonial art at Mexico City Museum.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
