The area around the Hotel can be a bit seedy and very loud during the day. It is not too convenient to many CDMX attractions but is 4 blocks from the Zocalo and 2 blocks from the ruins of temple mayor. There no "upscale" restaurants near the hotel. The facility itself was very clean but bareboned, no phone in the room, no shower mat. I would return iff my regular hotel was unavailable. Staff was competent but not friendly.

Great location At affordable price
The area is imperfect location had a good price. Some rooms could be a bit hot usually the ones with the king size bed and bunk bed are more airy. I really enjoy the rooftop they have you can have breakfast or just go up there for a good view. Fresh air All Staff were very polite

I adore the staff of this hotel its location and the feeling of safety. It is in the middle of a chaotic market place but at night it becomes a quiet residential place. I’ve stayed in this place every time I came to Mexico and I have recommended it to my friends who came and stayed too.

Hotel Templo Mayor is a cute little place to stay when in in Mexico City it was easy to walk around and very very close to all the good food and zocalo y all of historic center. All I would add is that there is no AC but luckily at night it cools off. Staff was extremely friendly and sweet. Rooms were nicely cleaned and overall very quiet and cute hotel. Keep it going, I recommend it!

Nice small hotel at walking distance from Zocaló. Family room was tight for 3 adults but the 2 bathrooms were a big PLUS.
Clean, comfortable beds. But no AC

I would not recommend this stay unless you really need a cheap place to stay. There is so much noise all night. I would get woken up by the streets being pressure washed at 3 am or someone screaming in the street. The beds are super hard the uncomfortable. The only good thing was there was a variety of places to eat close by.

I’m rating my stay as excellent because here you get exactly what you pay for. Clean and safe. Staff are very friendly. There is a market right outside the hotel, with lots of crowds and music however me nor my partner never felt unsafe in the area. Also, our room faced the market and the windows are completely sound proof when closed so noise was never an issue. If you’re looking for a place in the historic district for a good price, this is a good choice.
