We stayed in Room 1, which is at the front of the building on the 3rd floor. We had four huge windows looking into Calle de la Palma (no view except the ugly building across the street, but we did have natural light). The double blinds were decent but not blackout quality. For us, the street noise wasn’t bad, but we only stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night, which are probably quieter than weekends.
Our room had two comfortable queen beds and was vast, with a 12-foot ceiling. It was modern, very nicely furnished and lit, and extremely clean. One small downside was that there were no power outlets beside the beds. Also, although there is AC, it is not very powerful and we were quite warm at night.
The bathroom was marble, had a huge backlit mirror, and a long shelf for toiletries. Again, everything was clean and functioned well, although the water pressure in the shower was rather weak.
It was nice to have a kitchen area, with fridge, microwave, stovetop, coffee maker and toaster, but no kettle, although there was a pan for boiling water on the stove.
Outside the rooms there was a pleasant interior courtyard with seating, which most of the other rooms had windows looking onto. A very minimal breakfast with coffee, fake orange juice and mini pastries was laid out at one end of the courtyard in the mornings.
Guests are given a keycard to enter the building from the street, and there is also a very friendly doorman at reception (although note that he only speaks Spanish).
The location is great: just one block west of the Zócalo and a minute’s walk from El Cardenal, which is great for breakfast or lunch (but make reservations).
On the whole we felt that Casa Hermann Suites was very comfortable and certainly worth the approximately $140 US per night...
Read moreCasa Herman suites was a wonderful place to stay. It is located walking distance from museums, cathedrals and many restaurants and felt safe and secure . The staff are friendly and attentive and the antique elevator was really fun to use. William, Emanuel and Laura were especially helpful. Despite a language challenge they always made sure we were able to communicate. The small pool/ hot tub on the top deck was amazing to cool off in during the day and soak in at night. The rooms were modern, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The atrium was beautiful. The breakfast was really only baked goods and coffee . I loved staying here and would highly...
Read moreWe have stayed at a number of hotels in Mexico city including the Gran Hotel. Whilst this hotel is a little querky, I still think it will be our go to hotel, The suite was enormous, probably bigger than our first house. The door keepers couldn't be more helpful even though they had to use Google translate to communicate, my Spanish is limited to restaurant ordering! The location couldn't be better. I'm not sure I should have posted this review as we may not be able to reserve in the future as it will be...
