We booked this hotel for five nights and after the first night, we woke up without water. It was a Sunday, and the repair was not completed that day, so we decided to cancel our reservation and move to another hotel nearby. The front desk lady, however, was very supportive and communicative. And we got our refund a couple of days later.
The hotel has an excellent location but receives very poor maintenance.
I was given a room that was infested with ants. The workers were very friendly and helpful. They did their best, and moved me to another room. However, that room also had ants.
There is no air conditioning in the hotel. I stayed during a heat wave and the room was over 30 degrees celcius making it very hard to sleep.
Something was wrong with the water system while I was there. I couldn't finish my shower because they shut the water off in the middle. I understand maintenance issues can happen but it would be good to provide advance notice if possible.
Neighborhood is excellent. The staff is great, nothing bad to say about them at all. They just need to treat the building for insects, fix the water issues, and provide a solution for hot days.

Simple. Need a place to stay in Polanco.
Some noise at night. In summer time i was little warm with no a/c.
Muy mal servicio, pedimos con desayuno y no lo tenían registrado, el baño es compartido para muchas habitaciones y siempre esta ocupado. Al tratar de cancelar las ultimas noches se negaron y no hay encargado para hablar.
pésimo no lo recomiendo. Muy mala actitud.
I should've read the reviews rather than trusting that ANY hotel in the Polanco area would be of a certain standard.
I stayed in one of the private rooms (no shared bathroom) on level 4, which the sun hits directly all day; it is a furnace in there with no air conditioning and a malfunctioning fan (takes 10 minutes to start!) that offers no relief from the disgusting heat. My iphone even displayed an overheating alert!
The bathroom smelled of humidity, and ants came out of the shower drain. The shower itself flooded every morning.
The ants were everywhere in the room, including the bed.
The linen was stained, and there were long hairs everywhere.
Yes, it was cheap, but this is unacceptable!
Muy cómoda, solo el blackout de la ventana podría ser mejor porque se mete toda la luz en la mañana pero fuera de eso es una buena opción a un gran precio para la zona
Very hot and uncomfortable in the room.
Unsafe steps by the reception and entrance without a sign of caution.
Often clean towels were not available. One small towel provided.
This is a great hotel, with good and inexpensive food (breakfast, lunch, dinner), good service, super-well located, and, well, no complaints at all!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Nothing to like. In 4 days, I saw a receptionist once. The first day I could not get into the building because there was no receptionist and no one would answer answer a knock or a door bell. Many others had the same problem over the 4 days I was there. The receptionist even lied to say she was there, when there were witnessess to suggest otherwise. Disgraceful really!

Small room but nice location
Room is smaller than I thought but staff was friendly. Great location so I can’t complain.
Las sabanas ya tenían hoyos de viejas, lo mismo las toallas desilachadas, solo había una almohada y un cojín en la cama ni siquiera me pudieron dar otra almohada, tuve que exigir una toalla extra cuando me fue negada en mi habitacion para dos personas ( solo me querían dar una). Buena ubicacion pero terrible cuidado a todo, paredes manchadas, y todo de muy mala calidad, los dueños o gerentes deberían avergonzarse.
El lugar tiene buena ubicación, solo que el tiempo en que estuve ahí no había agua caliente, y si hace un poco de calor es recomendable no ir en temporadas de calor, en cuanto a la comida y el servicio si lo recomiendo.
