We came for Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) 2022 and THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!
My few complaints first, it is a double bed, so a little small for a couple. There is no AC. We came in late October so the weather was pretty mild but it still gets a little humid in the room and there is a fan and you can open the window which compensates, but it is a little noisy from the traffic outside if you have the window open. When it's closed you don't hear much. At first the wifi was SO SLOW, like 2mpbs but we asked the front desk and they switched our modem and we got like 45 mbps.
Ok no for the good stuff: this is the PERFECT place to stay if you want to go to the Dia de Muertos parade. Don't expect to be able to see the parade from your room window or even the rooftop, I mean you could see the floats but its a pretty tall building. Both parades pass right infront of the building so it's so easy to get a spot on the street to watch. Also the art installations for Dia de Muertos are only on about 3 blocks of Paseo de la Reforma and this building is right in the middle of those blocks so right out your door are hundreds of Dia de Muertos art installations, food and merch vendors. It's so fun and exciting and you have an AMAZING view of the Fontaña de Diana! Plus you don't have to Uber anywhere to access the festival fun!
Also there is an amazing cafe right next door, a starbucks half a block away, your right within 5-10 mins walking of dozens of AMAZING restaurants of all prices. (highly recommend Niddo for breakfast!)
Final thoughts, the location and quality of the room is incredible considering the price especially during Dia de Muertos when hotel rates shoot up. Our time in Mexico City was 10x better than planned because of how great the location of this place was.
Final notes, the pillows are a little too hard for my liking and I was happy I brought my own! They actually clean your room everyday like a hotel which is nice. Also the pool is heated so that's a bonus!
