Comfortable room, attentive staff, breakfast included. As a solo traveler, I am sometimes put into an undesirable room in other hotels but this doesn't happen at Hotel Gillow, I have stayed there several times in the past 4 years and have always been satisfied. More

We stayed in this hotel while touring Mexico City. It was an excellent location, near the Zocalo, Bellas Artes and nice walking area with a variety of good restaurants. On arrival we were in a very small room on the top floor which wasn't appropriate but the hotel changed us to a larger room with a balcony with no problems.... More

I chose this hotel because of its location, just down the street from my work for the week and, as mentioned, its close to the Zocalo and many restaurants. I spent a little more than I usually do and hoped to bump-up to a higher level of comfort than the $30-40 range hotels that I'm used to. That said, here... More

After much reading and looking at reviews, I booked Hotel Gillow. It is wonderful. We stayed on the top floor, our own patio and very comfortable. The staff are uniformly wonderful, warm and helpful. There are very good restaurants around the hotel and the transit is close by. The hotel is very clean , it is a very authentic hotel. More

We spent one night here after flying into Mexico City. Location and price make the hotel stand out. The room was nice and large, but a bit dated. We had a nice balcony/patio on the top floor. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Everything is literally right outside your door. More

I recently stayed here as a second choice. My first choice wasn't available my first night. The rooms were a bit old, but well maintained. The staff is very attentive, and the location can't be beat. Hard to find a real bath tub, but this hotel does have that luxury. I would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting to be... More

We stayed at Hotel Gillow over Christmas and New Year. It was our first trip to Mexico and I can't tell you enough how wonderful Hotel Gillow is. The staff were really friendly and helpful even though we can't speak Spanish. The resturant was superb and the rooms were clean and lovely. The lady on reception even organised for me... More

We stayed for several days at the hotel and then went to Chihuahua for a few days. We left a backpack with them for safekeeping and an old pair of ladies sandles was attached in a bag to the outside of the backpack (there was no room inside). When we got back and retrieved the bag from their store-room the... More

I recently stayed at this hotel for a week with family (including children) and our experience was very, very positive!! The room was large (including a shower/tub bathroom) and always very clean. The staff were attentive and friendly at all times; my nephew became ill late one night and the hotel staff were compassionate and resourceful in trying to find... More

I discovered Hotel Gillow by default after not being able to get a booking at Hotel Catedral. It's clean, the location is excellent and the front desk staff, friendly. The rooms at the Gillow are much improved after the remodeling of the floors (the old carpet was removed and new wood-like flooring installed). Although the Gillow doesn't have the services... More
