Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Catedral is favored for its unbeatable location in the heart of Mexico City, with landmarks like the Zócalo and Palacio de Bellas Artes just steps away and an amazing view of the Cathedral from some rooms. Guests appreciate the free bottled water available, and some rooms have a balcony. The breakfast buffet receives high praise, with a variety of fresh fruit, salad and egg options, although a few guests have found the room size to be small. The hotel provides great value, especially considering its prime location near historical sights.
