Reviews of Zocalo Central & Rooftop Mexico City

  • Christopher from United Kingdom – 21 May 2025 (8/10)

    The location was brilliant. A favourite was the 24 hour coffee bar with snacks etc. Honestly brilliant. The water on each floor was a nice touch again. Bed also very comfortable

    What could be improved: The gym was too small (even by hotel standards)

  • Benjamin from United States – 30 April 2025 (10/10)

    What could be improved: only negative is Taxi/Shuttle. Was not confirmed on pick up, no problem just took a reg taxi. On departure though, did reserve and confirm one. Got downstairs 10m early, checked with the girl at counter and said taxi on the way. After checking again multiple times and waiting 25m! My ride finally arrived. It was 100% that one girl at the counter, one can only hear 'o desculpa' so many times from them forgetting such a vital function. I could have missed my flight. The driver even showed me his listing and how he was just contacted 5m prior. Besides that a terrific stay.

  • Ivan from Ukraine – 30 April 2025 (8/10)

    Great location next to the main square. Very good breakfast at the terrace with a stunning view. And it’s one of the best places for a fine dining in the city.
    The staff were very friendly.

    What could be improved: I didn’t like the bed with a heavy blanked and the a/c unit that blows extremely loud and strongly even innit’s lowest position.
    The water pressure in the shower could also be better.

  • Robert from United States – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

    Perfect downtown zocolo location. The staff was attentive and friendly. Facilities were comfortable and clean.

  • Asteris from Netherlands – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

    We spent 3 nights in the hotel. We enjoyed our room very much, which was very clean and super comfortable. The location in Zocalo is excellent, and the rooftop has an amazing view at the square. The breakfast was amazing, as well as the free snacks during the day. The staff was very helpful.

    What could be improved: The very central location also means noise in the late hours. There was loud music coming from outside one night, whereas other nights there were lood groups of people. Sound insulation could have been better

  • Peter from Ireland – 15 April 2025 (10/10)

    Beautiful hotel in great location. The restaurant where breakfast is served is stunning and food choice excellent. The beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable. 24hr free cafe in lobby a nice value add.

  • Yassenia from United States – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

    Right in the center of the busy zocalo so a lot to do. The cafe is included which is a fantastic touch. Staff is so friendly and helpful. Rooftop restaurant is beautiful and the views are unmatchable.

    What could be improved: Couldn’t go to bat at rooftop for a drink without a reservation.

  • Diana from United States – 4 April 2025 (10/10)

    I love this hotel. The staff, service, restaurant and location.

  • Imari from Poland – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

    We really enjoyed the food, decor, accommodations, and the location. The view from the breakfast rooftop deck was amazing! The breakfast was delicious, there was a wide variety, and you can also order a la carte as well. Throughout the day, they have unlimited snack and sandwiches in their restaurant, included in the price. The service from the waitstaff, front desk, and bellman was phenomenal. Overall, it was a truly pleasant experience. The location definitely gives you a pulse of the city, it is different everyday in the most beautiful way.

    What could be improved: They did everything they could to make my family's experience wonderful! It can be difficult to get a taxi in that area, but they definitely tried their best to get us one.

  • Larissa from Germany – 30 March 2025 (10/10)

    The hotel boasts a spectacular location right on the Zócalo, offering a fantastic view of the Cathedral. Key attractions such as the Templo Mayor, Torre Latinoamericana, Casa de los Azulejos, Palacio Nacional, and Palacio Bellas Artes are all within walking distance. As solo female travelers, we always felt safe in the hotel’s surroundings. The room was small but functional and clean—perfect for a city trip. The breakfast was delicious and featured authentic local dishes. An excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the heart of the city!
