• Jesus Ivan (9/5): -
• Ana Elena (7/5): NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA FAMILIAS SE QUEDA MUY CORTO EN CUANTO A INSTALACIONES. PARECE UN HOTEL DE HACE - SOLO EL PATIO CENTRAL MUY DESCUIDADOS LOS BAÑOS, LAS TOALLAS ROTAS, SABANAS MUY VIEJAS, ALMOHADAS VIEJAS, LIMPIEZA QUE SE DA A DESEAR, TELEVISIONES MUY PEQUEÑAS, NO VALE EL COSTO QUE SE PAGA.
• Cristina (7/5): centrico y comodo. - La ubicación es excelente, esta a una cuadra del zócalo y la catedral. muy a la mano todo el centro histórico y unos pasos del mercado 20 de noviembre y Benito Juárez. la habitación era amplia y fresca. en esta ocasión nos toco una habitación que daba a a calle, y todas las noches escuchamos mucho ruido y musica que provenía de una terraza a dos locales del hotel :(

• Takuji (7/5): -

• Matthew (7/5): Good -
• Dennis (7/5): Overall,we were satisfied with our stay, but the price should have been about $30.00 lower. - The room was clean and the location was excellent. For the cost of the room per night, , the quality of thee room could have been better. The photos on Booking.com of the room did not match the actual look of the room. .
• Ramon (8/5): Casa Tobala reviewed R - This is my first stay at this hotel. The Location is excellent, very clean, room and bathroom sizes were very comfortable spaces. Good daylight.

• Ernesta (4/5): You get what you pay for. - You get what you pay for. Free drinking water refill. We did not always had hot water. The bedding wasn’t clean. Location is not so good. The staff is not so professional.

• Ivan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aaron (8/5): Very good - Great location right next to an amazing food market. The staff are very helpful. Water is available at reception, they were also able to store my bags for a full day before my night bus. The rooms are a great size, I didn't have any issues with noise either. The WiFi wasn't fantastic from my room but worked well in the common arears.
• Itzel (8/5): If you need to spend too much time on the hotel it’s perfect place due the location. - The location it was the best ! The bathroom smelled bad. The First Gentleman who welcomed us wasn’t really friendly. The rest of the days we did not have any contact with someone else. The place does not looks like properly clean eve due there is people cleaning public areas.
• Yadira (8/5): Very good -
• Yadira (8/5): Very good - I like the staff , the location , the place I do not have soap or shampoo at the room , and the zinc was clogged and the time waiting for hot water
• Reggie (4/5): Never booking this hotel - Arrived around 5pm 2 rooms weren't ready. 1 room was smelling like sewage so I asked for another room, 2 rooms the bathroom smelled like urine and it looked like every room was rushed clean. I had to buy air freshener for all 5 rooms.Very disappointed with the hotel and Booking.com .
• Elizabeth (5/5): Passable -
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ramirez (6/5): Good but bad if you want a hot shower and A/C daily. - Amazing location near zocalo and Mercado 20 de Noviembre. A/C didn't work on my and other guests' rooms. There was no hot water available due to their solar water heaters being inefficient. Of the 4 nights I spent here, only one day I had a hot shower.
• Ramos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giulia (6/5): Pleasant - A very good location Super noisy during the nights.
• Venancio (10/5): Exceptional - Very big rooms all okay All personal
• Gonzalez (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Lucreca (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bernice (4/5): Not a very pleasant experience. Only liked the location. - It is located very close to the historic center and right next to the markets. The AC worked great. There is a comedy club upstairs on the weekends. The only thing worth it is the location. It looks nothing like the pictures. The hotel itself needs a lot of maintenance. The bathroom smelled very funky. There is no wifi in the rooms, only in the common areas. It says you have access to netflix, but we were only able to watch local tv after setting it up ourselves. The sheets did not feel clean. You could hear music from the bar next door until 3am.
• Maria (10/5): Very friendly staff - Great location and very nice staff.
• Keith (4/5): Disappointing - Location is great Ripped curtains and screens, clean but deteriorating, no facilities to speak of, furniture broken, just bad
• Dagoberto (7/5): Good - Location They rent music to very noisy people on the third floor the rest is very good
• Jaime (6/5): Pleasant - Its right across the street from the Mercado… Good air condition Nice hot water in shower Since it’s right next to the mercado, it’s noisy. Wifi- connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects They need to fix the toilet inserts. Went to go flush, and chain broke, had to pull a Mcguver.
• Nohemi (2/5): Very poor - The location El.estado de las installations la taza del baño quebrada,,, los pisos de la regadera quebrados toallas en pesimo estado
• Eva (5/5): Passable -
• Lucas (8/5): Excellent location and price - Location We arrived 14h30, they said check-in was at 15h, then we have to wait until 16h because rooms were not ready yet!
• Alejandro (5/5): Passable -
• Sean (5/5): Passable -
• Megan (7/5): Good -
• Cameron (4/5): One night is better than 3 - Location is great. Only 2 blocks from the zocolo. Next to the markets and close to the shuttles to Monte Alblan. The rooms were spacious enough. Bathroom worked fine and was big enough. Air-conditioner worked well. One female staff member was sweet. Baggage storage was helpful. The staff were indifferent. No communication in any way after many attempts to greet them or ask advice. They seemed more interested in watching TV. No thanks for staying or even a smile. Staff often slept on couches in the lobby including children. The laundry piled up in the hotel entrance and the lobby toilets sold as public toilets is a bad look for business. The WiFi was poor. Often dropping out right under the modem. Little signal in the rooms. Beds and pillows are like stone slabs. We had coffee supplies but no machine. The floors were filthy in the room. The 3rd floor was littered with garbage, alcohol bottles, planters full of cigarette butts. Be advised! Saturday night had a comedy/music night untill 2am and cleaning untill 3am with no warning to guests. Not sure how often this occurs but it is loud in the hotel. Read the hotel rules. It's hilarious. Don't leave out any wet clothes. They will put them in the trash if they beleive that you rinsed them in the room. Cold water in showers. Okay place to pass one night but not worth extended stays.
• Robert (1/5): Nightmare - Nothing. Terrible Experince. Hotel and room did not match pictures or description. Dirty and dated. Bed was small and uncomfortable. Bathroom unsanitary, bugs coming out of drain. Holes in ragged towels. Wifi did not work in room. Staff and Manger were rude.
• Wendy (4/5): Disappointing -
• George (9/5): Liked everything - Location Nothing
• John (8/5): It was good. We forgot to leave our key. They forgot to remind me. - Clean and friendly. No elevator.
• Patsy (9/5): Would stay there again - Location! A lot of things are within walking distance staff was super friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my suite case in the hotel after check out at no extra charge! The beds were a bit small, but that was fine.
• Norma (7/5): Good - No breakfast offered
• Steve (3/5): Good location but terrible customer service. - The cleaning staff was nice. Claudia was the worst receptionist EVER. She acts like she has no interest in helping tourists. Straight up RUDE.
• Maritza (5/5): Not a bad hotel but better for the younger crowd or people who can sleep with a lot of noise - It was a really big room and clean Location was a positive and a negative…great since 20 Mercado was literally oposite BUT because of this very very very noisy hard to sleep
• Nicholas (6/5): Pleasant -
• Isabelle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Salvador (9/5): Superb -
• Jurquijo (7/5): Great location - I like the location. Walking distance to everything. No hot water and no AC temperature knob. It was just on the cold setting, very cold setting but room got hot if AC was off.
• Adrian (1/5): If you consider this hotel, just pick the next one - Central location Wifi does not reach to the rooms. Only reception. Hot water not working. Linen was dirty. They overcharged us and said they would refund us but during the whole of our stay the manager (who was apparently the only one able to refund the amount) never came. Always was ‘the next day’. The security man overnight fell asleep and we stayed locked out the hotel for 20 minutes
• Norma (8/5): Everything was as expected. - Location Walls are a little dirty
• Mario (5/5): The best option if it is your last option - The location. Did not like the attention, the lobby was attended by kids. The third floor, where we were, was ghostly.
• Yuan (8/5): just an alternative choice there and the experience is so-so. - the location is good. It is clean. There is NO hot water in shower! the staff does not make you feel warm when check in. It is not worthwhile for the money.
• Victoria (1/5): Horrible place with rude staff, do not waste your money there. - The location was ok. Where to start…. There is NO WIFI in any room (according to the lady at the reception). I asked if I could use the wifi in a private space as I was working, I was told by the lady at the repetition “why are you traveling if you’re working”, she was extremely rude and unhelpful. The next day, a different lady gave me the password to access the Wifi in the communal area. The room was dirty (I had to walk around with my shoes because the floor was so gross), there were ants and insects in the room too. The water was smelling horrible. And to top it all of, it was impossible to sleep because of the noise outside our door. A handy man was banging on metal with the music on full blast at silly hours. The worst experience I’ve had in a hotel.
• Patricia (3/5): Poor - Location in Downtown area. Next to food markets and local souvenirs, museums Hotel is not well kept, noisy mattress, short blankets, towels with holes, no wifi in rooms, not good sprinkling showers, terrible staff attention.
• Dora (8/5): Very good -
• Richard (4/5): Disappointing - Close to the Zocalo square and restaurants. if you want street cart food this is a good location for that. Otherwise nothing. Total disappointment. Bed was so hard we both had shoulder pain. Shower had no hot water. Thin crunchy bath towels. no wash cloth or hand towel. spent one night out of four and moved to a wonderful B&B
• Rebecca (7/5): Its cheap and if you’re not spending much time in the hotel its a great option - Its location is very centric, you can walk to lots of places near There were some cockroaches, some days we didnt have hot water, the AC was very dirty
• Marcela (3/5): Awful - No parking. No elevators.
• Heriberto (9/5): Superb -
• Mehmet (8/5): Very good - Location, location
• Katie (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, right in the centre. Comfortable rooms and very helpful staff. The internet in the rooms was faulty, but the one downstairs in the lobby worked. So had to be downstairs to be connected to WiFi. Other than that, all was great.
• Dora (9/5): Crisp white sheets, cool air, lots of storage space. - The location was the best. The beds, linens and closet space, lots of drawers to unpack luggage, table and coffee maker. The staff was wonderful. Hot water comes out after 5 min of running the shower. It will come. The wifi in the common areas outside of the rooms is good but some might think inconvenient. Once you step outside its strong, there are tables & chairs in the terrace.
• Garcia (3/5): Poor -
• Maribel (10/5): Of course I will go back!!! - The staff super nice and great service. Our TV wasn’t working right, but one of the staff politely fixed it.
• Jose (5/5): Passable - It was within walking distance to places I wanted to visit. Shower drain stinks, especially when in use.
• Jose (6/5): Pleasant - The hotel was close to almost every place we visited. That was definitely what we'd liked the best. The street became very narrow since my last visit, which was difficult to unload baggage. The one thing we hated the most wi-fi was rally bad everywhere. The bathroom sink was not in very good shape, It looked duty. The shower wall was broken and dangerous , the last thing was the shower smelled horrible every time we showered. I'm not sure I'll visit this hotel again or even recommend it.
• Nishi (5/5): Nice location, but stay could have been better - Location Beds were not very comfortable. Only got hot water after opening the shower and waiting for around 10-15 mins. Also, there was a table outside our room and someone was constantly sitting there. It was a strange invasion of our privacy, and he left so much rubbish outside our room that was never cleaned up.
• Chepe (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
