Ask for a top-floor room with a view.
Fodor's "This refurbished older hotel on a busy street in the heart of downtown is a bargain, with many of the amenities of the more upscale hotels at less than half the price." Full review
Lonely Planet "Near ‘one of the most busiest touristic areas,’ as the website points out, this comfortable lodging has clearly considered its prime location." Full review

Request a remodeled room (the firm mattresses and new dark wood furnishings are well worth the additional M$60).
DK Eyewitness "This small hotel with 116 rooms has a lovely lobby with gleaming marble floors, dark woodwork, and arched windows."
Michelin Guide "The Catedral is right in the heart of the city a block from the Zocalo-so noise can creep in-but the rooms are spacious, comfortable and attractively decorated."
