Hotel Don Simón

Toluca


The rooms at Don Simón are immaculately clean and bright, if a little heavy on the brown furnishings of yesteryear, which continue into the attached restaurant. It's a balanced all-rounder in central Toluca – the staff are friendly, the street is quiet and it's just a short walk to Cosmovitral.
