Rooms and bathrooms are a little small - but clean and in great location. Great value for the $$ ... one of the cheaper options near Historical Town Center during Day of Dead festivities.

Hotel Principal was in a great, safe location in Historical Centro Mexico. The accommodations whilst small, were idyllic in lovely old building and great price. Loved having free drinking water and good hot water pressure I would stay again when back in Mexico.

6/10 Good

Perfect for me traveling alone, I felt safe. My friends stayed across the way but it wasn't in my budget. I heard something scratching the wall one night and when I looked underneath the bed it was full of dust bunnies. I did see a couple of baby roaches in the restroom. But the rooftop is a nice touch and I enjoyed breakfast a few times up there. The staff is friendly and the price is really reasonable. And thre is Ac and TV and a little gym upstairs too.

10/10 Exceptional

La ubicación es fabulosa , pedimos dos habitaciones una de ellas no nos encantó por el espacio y distribución de la misma pero la otra estaba muy bien. Siempre limpiaron muy bien todo , olía a limpio cuando regresabas al hotel. El desayuno es muy barato y bueno , en general todo se ve limpio, pero yo creo que lo que se lleva el 10000000 es el personal del hotel todos fueron muy amables, te resolvían al instante, siempre con una sonrisa, y además nos hicieron early check in. Recomiendo el hotel 100%
