Good hotel right in the city center. The hotel's common places are nice. The room was large with high ceiling, nothing modern, but it was functional. The bathroom was quite odd, as the sink was part of the main room and only the shower with the toilet was separated, but it wasn't a problem at all. The beds were comfortable. The wifi was reliable and fast. Our room had a view directly in front of the main entrance and it was quiet. More noise came from hallways than from the outside.

Breakfast was boring - scrambled eggs and fruit. The same as every other place. The location was so convenient and the room wonderful. Old world charm. Beds very comfortable. A great place to stay.

Beautiful colonial style hotel. Came here for a week long conference and everything from the service to the hospitality was amazing. I will say the beds are a bit hard but I guess you get used to them after a bit of time. Location was in a very safe area with many shops and restaurants around. Thank you

Excellent food and service. The mole was some of best mole that I have had, even better than some moles in Oaxaca. The inside dining room is very beautiful, however we dined outside which has a lovely view of a cathedral across the street. The food was very affordable and reasonably priced. Portion sizes were decent too.

A very charming local hotel. There is a restaurant that a lovely atmosphere and great food. It is located right near the central zocola, cathedral, Museo Amporo, and many restaurants. My room had a balcony overlooking Calle C 4, and there was a lots of local color and music on the street below.

I loved the historical aspect of this building! It has been around from the 1600s as a monetary and was converted into a hotel in the 1800s. It has the oldest working elevator in Puebla! A must to try ;). The rooms were very clean and the windows had exceptional sound proofing. There is no AC but we did not need one. The only issue I had was a mild smell that is usually in an old place like this. I had the most comfortable stay here!! Would recommend it to anyone who wants to go back in time for a bit :)

Excellent location. It what great hotels looked like 50-100 years ago. Although the hotel is in a busy area 2 blocks from the Zocalo, I thought the rooms were quiet. It had new windows which really cut down on outside noise. The rooms are functional and are not fancy at all. Small TV. Room safe. Bathroom was very basic and there is a lot of room for improvement here. We didn't have hot water! The tub is old and it shows and must be impossible to make it appear clean. Restaurant was good.
