Great hotel
Great location in historical CDMX. Walking distance to many interesting locations. Room was small but with high cielings so it didnt feel too small. I stayed during the week and got a good price. Overall a great hotel.

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.

Pros: Convenient location. Cons: Small room and bathroom, old furniture, worn out towels and bed sheets.

8/10 Very good

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.
