Hotel Puebla de Antaño

This is a unique property as it used to be the Italian Consulate in the 19th Century. The rooms have high ceiling and are comfortable. I heard no noise from the street. There is a chef from France that has recently arrived for the hotel restaurant which I had dined at twice to very tasty meals. The hotel is very close to the main plaza.

Our room was very dirty upon check in but cleanliness improved over our stay. Took about 10 minutes of running shower to get hot water. Limited amenities in hotel. Great location close to zocalo, cathedral, shopping and dining. Not sure I’d go back.

This hotel, simply put, is lovely. Its 17th Century ambiance is all around, from the old school elevator, to the small chapel like areas and chandelier. The rooms are huge ('junior suites') and the bathroom/shower more than adequate. Excellent location just around the corner from the Zocalo, yet still perfectly quiet. The breakfast (included) on the open air rooftop on a Sunday morning was accompanied by the bells from the Cathedral. And just to keep it real, there is a picture of Elvis in the lobby! There is also an attached bar and separate restaurant.

No exterior windows, all rooms enter from main atrium lobby, so even though rooms are ok, you can hear everything going on due to hard surfaces and door not sound-proofed. The free breakfast, which consisted one choice, Frosted Flakes of all things, was insulting.

Wi Fi lacking with no explanation as to why. They were not able to fix during my whole stay. As a business traveler wifi is very important. Hot wat took over 5 minutes to got hot in the shower.

This hotel has so much charm as much of the buildings or “casonas” in this historic city do. It was a wonderful stay and I have to agree with others that the staff was amazing. We felt safe and comfortable. There was a large group of us so we had the chance to see 3 different junior rooms. If you are able to, request one located at an end or corner. Those have the best features in my opinion. I stayed in an interior room which made it significantly smaller, darker and stuffier because it did not have operable windows. It only had a small inoperable front window facing courtyard and our sink was awkwardly located outside the restroom with a half frosted bathroom door rather than a full privacy door. The amenities such as split Ac units in each room and elevator were nice since we traveled with elderly family. We had an issue with our shower head the first night. But we were pleasantly surprised to see it replaced with a new one the same day we reported it. The only negative for us was the hotel restaurant food. The coffee was subpar. Most of the time, it was barely hot. And the food in general was mediocre which was a shame because there were a couple of times we were too tired to go out to eat and wished their food had been better. But the complimentary continental breakfast was still appreciated. Be sure to go up to the rooftop for drinks. It has a nice view of the Cathedral and large lounge area.

The hotel is comfortable and close to downtown. Staff friendly. The only issue that u can say is that the elevator was not working

Property’s location is great! Everything around you, it’s central and convenient!

Room design bad. Lacking working table. Bad wiFi connection . Shower equipment too bad.
