My husband and I went there to the bar option, with some cousins, to have drinks and appetizer. We did not stay at the beautiful hotel and we were to late to eat at the restaurant. We ended up having prime rib tacos in the evening. They were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend to visit.

Great location, beautiful colonial structure. Excellent and very polite employees. Our room and hotel were super clean. The maids are mature which I love, humble, respectful, very on point for anything you might need. The doorman was super polite, respectful, and attentive.

Went here for a unique lunch. Ambiance and hotel was very pretty and the service was great. Food was okay - more of a place you take someone to impress them and for the novelty of the hotel. Menu was pretty limited and expensive for the area. The elote appetizer was amazing though!

This is a great find. The service is superb, and the staff is very attentive. There's no surprise here, you know what this is, it's a bull fighting ring that got turned into a hotel, and it's however cool you think it is! We thought it was very interesting, and definitely worth a night's stay. Even the rooms that don't face the ring have nice views. One snag we encountered was during check-in. The clerk argued with me over the price of the room. They wanted to charge us an extra %50 because we had a 3rd person that was going to stay in the room. After a brief lecture, they presented me with a detailed list of charges, and one of them was the charge for the extra person. I thanked them and handed them my printed reservation confirmation which guaranteed the rate for 3 guests. Their face turned red, and after they took my printed reservation to the manager, everything was made right again. This wasn't a big deal, but if I hadn't had my printed reservation, I would have been treated pretty badly.

Just spent one night atvroom #411, best view unto the bull fight ring and right next to the presidential suite. We don't like carpets in hotel rooms, but that is just our preference. The balcony sliding door should be fixed. Other than that the room was great. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good walking distance from downtown. Parking available. Very quiet lication. We didn't like music they had on at night in the bullring, now that ther's noise everywhere it's a shame that everybody at the hotel has to listen to the music. Tried the bar and were not convinced. Mezcalina had red fruit but no mezcal in it. They were out of mint so no mojito and the piña colada was more froth than actual drink. American breakfast was included in our price and we were able to chose from their entire menu, very tasty and beautifully presented. All in all it is really a spectacular place!

The hotel itself has a lot of history and is in a good part of town, right in front of a park and the famous aqueduct. The hotel was built in 1866 originally as a bullfighting ring which remains as the hotel courtyard. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, could use some updating. The bathroom was large and full of amenities.

This hotel is excellent. I had the privilege of staying in the presidential suite, which, while expensive, offered views that fully justified the cost. I anticipate returning in the future. However, I consistently found the restaurant staff's service to be less than satisfactory, often requiring me to actively seek assistance during my visits.
