    The street was quite noisy with party goers, cleaning trucks, and the police vehicle making very annoying beeps for no apparent reason. Because the rooms are not air-conditioned, it was difficult to keep, the terrace door closed and still be comfortable. But it was still fun to stay in such a unit building.

    This is a beautiful historic building where every room has a different decor, including art objects, elaborately carved furniture, chandeliers. Our room was huge with a big bathroom and a small terrace overlooking the street. The decor included objects from India, paintings, etc. that were very interesting and unusual in a hotel. When we asked for extra pillows and a fan, they came almost immediately. The location was great, just one block from the zocalo, actually it was partly in the center.

    There was no wine opener or glasses in the room.

    This hotel was built in the 18th century and has been maintained to preserve its authenticity. Our room had a balcony above the street. It was very spacious with lots of antiques. The location is wonderful. There are great bars and restaurants on the streets below but it is not noisy at night. It is only a brief walk to the Zocalo and the artists quarter. All of the buildings in the historical district have been carefully preserved. The hotel is an extension of the street as there is no setback from the road to the front door. The Wifi is great but there are no other services. However, you can get whatever you want just outside the hotel.

    The water pressure in the shower was very low.

    One of the ongoing problems with hotels in Mexico is the cama hotelera, the “hotel” bed. A lot of hotels buy harder, firmer mattresses because they last longer, and it is like sleeping on a concrete slab. So you can imagine how thrilled we were to discover this lovely hotel where management had invested in providing a comfortable thermapedic type mattress layer to make the beds super comfortable. And the hot water was great in the showers. The location was great. The rooms were lovely. And wacky in a good way. Lots of antique furniture and the Moroccan Room is one well worth asking for, with its Morocco themed walls and furniture. We would stay here again. The reception staff, truly wonderful. They let us leave our big luggage with them while we road tripped to Cuetzalan for a few days. For more on our trip, and Puebla check out my photos on Jay Francis Día de Muertos 2023 on fb. Update January 2024. I returned to the hotel in January for two nights. January is probably one of the colder months in Puebla. I stayed in room 101 and the king size bed was super comfortable and I slept very well. Being an older hotel, there is no heating in the room so I asked for an extra blanket, and when it was bedtime, I just made quick moves between the bathroom, room area, and bed. What’s in bed, I was perfectly warm and actually slept late. Now, an older hotel running the hot water in January. I noted that it took about five minutes for the hot water to be delivered to the shower, which makes sense because that water has to pass the meters and meters of hotel piping that is probably cold because of the time of year. also being an older hotel, they wouldn’t have their own pressurization system so the water is coming out at fairly low pressure based on whatever the city can deliver. But it wasn’t a major problem for me and the comfortable bed and the location still make me give this hotel a thumbs up. Also, in room 101, lots of closet and drawer space because it is a nice size room

    It's a little rough around the edges but for The value, who cares? The only thing I would improve would be to offer coffee of some kind in the morning. There's nothing. It's an easy neighborhood to find food but that first cup would certainly be nice. Maybe a Nespresso machine?

    Great old-fashioned rooms with huge ceilings and a generous bed.

    Water is super weak and one morning there was no hot water but it was corrected and it's a very old building.

    If you are looking for fiercely strong water, hot and plentiful, and air conditioned rooms and spa treatments, this is not the place for you. It's charming and it's antique. The water dribbles out but who cares? It's a great location with grand rooms and it's a good value. It's not for everyone. I loved it and will come back.

    This historic hotel is filled with authentic antiques and art. The room my friend and I were in was huge.
