Top Mexico City Hotel Reviews

Hotel Catedral

Hotel Catedral

8/10 Good
"A nice hotel located very close to the Zocalo in Mexico City. Almost everything was really nice including the staff, the amenities and the restaurants. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the middle of it all. There were repairs going on and at times the noise was really bad in the lobby. But, overall I would give the hotel a 4 of 5 for location in a very historic setting and good service. The restaurants are ok to nice and offer a variety of dishes. Nothing seriously gourmet, but very good for the most part. Menu prices were not bad for a hotel. I had breakfast and especially enjoyed the Arrachera for lunch. My room was fine and there was hot water! I need to add one caveat: While I enjoyed most everything else, the Mignon Burger was really not worth eating and I did not finish it. Yeah, it set me off, but I did not raise a stink, just so you know. I am from Texas and know my burgers. The flavor was weird and the meat was the consistency of a soggy meatloaf. No red inside at all. Was this a microwave burger? There was no char at all. The "caramelized bacon" was under cooked. The chef's recipe has some herb that really fouls the flavor. Not sure where to stop. Yucky is the best word I can think of to describe it. "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" Just grill the meat and serve it."
