I like the location. It is very close to the zocalo and Palacio de Bellas Artes. A little noisy early in the evening because of the traffic. Room was too close to the street. Also, Hotel Gillow needs to upgrade rooms so visitors can connect USB cables and more power outlets.

Hotel Gillow is a classy hotel with cozy rooms located in the heart of Mexico City. All the major attractions are easily within walking distance. A wide variety of restaurants, cafés, and taquerías are near, and daily housekeeping and 24 hour security are nice additions. I absoluteltely recommend Hotel Gillow to anyone visiting Mexico City.

Great location, one street from Zocalo and Allende metro station, plenty of eateries and shopping. We were given the room at the front of the hotel, 3 floors up, which was noisy due to road traffic. We needed earplugs to sleep. No air conditioning, and no amenities such as coffee machine or kettle. Overall, an acceptable pied du terre.

Good location and value for money. Friendly staff. Purified water available. Great view of the goings on in the streets from the french door windows. Classic Art Deco style. Survived all the earthquakes.

The Hotel Gillow is an attractive older building just 2 blocks from the Zocalo, an area generally full of tourists, and, on the weekend, locals. Its central location makes it ideal. Rooms are arranged around an interior courtyard of six floors, it’s gracious and really nice. My room was very clean and spacious, and I had clean towels and hot water (but no refrigerator). My bed was very comfortable (I like a firm mattress). Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included, freshly cooked, and it is great. The only problem, and it’s not something the hotel can really do much about, is constant noise from outside, it is relentless. I live in New York City, where we have noise, I am not being fussy. The rumble of truck engines, and all-day whistling by police at intersections, is inescapable even with windows tightly closed. It’s a building from a different era, and thoughtless noise pollution has grown around it. If you need quiet to sleep, or perhaps even to think clearly, this will be a problem for you, it was for me.
