Such a beautiful space with accommodating employees who were very kind throughout. The chilaquiles verdes son lo mejor! Y la terraza, the Terrance was a dream come true for a new person traveling to CDMX. Very unique format and architecture throughout the hotel and it felt very classy and peaceful throughout my stay

Perfect for me traveling alone, I felt safe. My friends stayed across the way but it wasn't in my budget. I heard something scratching the wall one night and when I looked underneath the bed it was full of dust bunnies. I did see a couple of baby roaches in the restroom. But the rooftop is a nice touch and I enjoyed breakfast a few times up there. The staff is friendly and the price is really reasonable. And thre is Ac and TV and a little gym upstairs too.

Staffs was friendly & speak good English. Love that the hotel is in the middle of the historic center. Facility interior is nice however, the rooms need improvement. It is clean and dated. Rooms bathroom need especial attention. The 2 towels per room and beddings needs to be replace new. Bedding is white with yellow sheen from over used and washed. Furnitures are dated and unusable.

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.

Very hard beds. We had room with two double beds. Very uncomfortable. We asked if they could do something about this (perhaps add a mattress topper etc.) and they gave us a key to a room with a king size bed to see if the bed was better. It was. But when we returned to say that we would like to switch there was discussion among the front desk people and it turned out this change was not possible so they gave us keys to another room to try out (it had double beds) and the beds were just as hard. We stayed with the hard bed for the remaining three nights. But for the hard bed, Hotel Principal is a good property right in the heart of CDMX.

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.
