This place in the historic Centro. district is close to many attractions but in a noisy crowded area. You will likely have noise and crowds anywhere in the Centro area. Just down the street you find the temple ruins and the cathedral and presidents palace surrounding the zocalo which is a busy public square. We saw a free orchestra concert there one night. It was beautiful. Lots of Christmas decorations during our December visit. We also very much enjoyed the roof garden of the building. The building staff are very helpful. We had some problems with the toilet at the beginning of our 2 week stay and they were addressed immediately. It was a bit of a hike to get to a grocery store but there were a few smaller stores close by for essentials. Recommend you get a Bus tour early in your stay to get an overview of attractions. The hop on hop off bus leaves from the cathedral area. Also Uber is a cheap easy way to get around.
