Great hotel
Great location in historical CDMX. Walking distance to many interesting locations. Room was small but with high cielings so it didnt feel too small. I stayed during the week and got a good price. Overall a great hotel.

Needs sound proofing, super location.
Great location as it is near to the Zocalo and many other central areas. The hotel needs sound proofing from interior noise.

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.

Great Hotel!
Everything about this hotel was great the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, the location is right in the city center and you can find so many things near by. The hotel was also affordable and they offer so many room size options I would definitely recommend. I am definitely going to be staying here again when I go visit next time.

While this is an old building, it has tons of historic charm. The staff were helpful and available for every question we had. The room we stayed in was small but I did read that going in and there were no surprises.

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.

Brilliant Hotel!! I will choose here again when I visit Mexico City next time. It is so convenient to get any spot of the city! Staffs are friendly and English fluently.

Great location. King bedroom is a very small room. Can barely move in the bathroom. Couple hairs in the bed sheets makes your wonder if they were changed... and wasn't comfortable. Cool building and very nice / helpful front desk staff.
