“The view from my room was the slums and boy did it boil at night with smell. Also rooms are not sound proof, you can hear every person walking by ,or opening their door and the beeping elevator-i could not sleep all night. Then there is the rude old guy at the restaurant who wouldn't let you have 1 sachet of splendid sugar sub-saying its only for the restaurant even after the receptionist directed me to go get it there. Only good thing is the amazing receptionist who spoke good English and had great customer service. I'm glad I didn't book over a night😶”

“Location location location. This place isn’t the best hotel but it is a great hotel to stay in on a budget. It’s centrally located in the city of Mexico at the right price. “At the right price” however, comes at a cost. CHECK-IN: On the first day of our arrival they did not have our reservation which I was afraid of after reading all the reviews. We had reserve two rooms at $29usd each per night. However, my very responsible friend who reserve the rooms did not have the confirmation number either so I can’t hold that against them. They offered us a room at a higher rate of 42.50usd. They offered us 1 room with two Queen sized beds for the first night then on the next day two bedrooms with a king size bed each and they through in breakfast. So this helped remedy the issue. Although, I can’t help but to wonder if it was a scam for the hotel to “not have the reservation” considering that the World Cup was in town and all other local hotels spiked in price. Still, I’ll take the L cuz we didn’t do our do diligence. Solution: get a confirmation email and take it with you. BREAKFAST: was very simple (the one included in the cost of the room. However they do have an additional menu at a separate cost) and an all you can eat style. The first day it was really good. The second day breakfast got a little sloppy. The beans where runny, so was the egg, the juice tasted like a mix of punch and juice, and the chilaquiles where bland. It got worse as the days past. Solution: Pay only for the room and not for the room with breakfast and eat elsewhere. Your on vacation for crying out loud, act like it. ROOMS: In the bedroom with the two queen size beds the mattresses where soooooooo hard. I wouldn’t do the jump test if I where you. In the rooms with the king size beds the mattresses were a bit more forgiving. CLEANLINESS: The room had not been thoroughly cleaned in a long time. The headboard and lamps had not been dusted in a long time, let alone cleaned. The floor hadn’t been mopped because it was stinky and I could hear and feel the stickiness on the bottom of my shoe. There was even an area where I thought it might be blood. Solution: ask the room to be thoroughly cleaned. It’s not unreasonable if you kindly walk them through the things you noticed. I decided not to get my room serviced because even though I do nitpick at this stuff I really didn’t care. The rooms come equipped with a little slot where you place your key card to activate the electrical components and once you leave the room you take your card and it shuts off the room. This is kind of nice if you areenergy conscious or if you are a hotel trying to save money on electricity. But it’s also a hassle if you want to leave your cell phone charging to say go to the upstairs patio for a drink or if you have some gear you want to charge while you’re outside of your hotel room. It turns out it won’t charge, as it was the case in my situation. Solution: ask for a second key, take a battery back, or charge it while you sleep. THE PATIO: was awesome. The views from there where just so cool. Specially at night. THE STAFF: was super friendly. There front door staff was very nice and attentive so was the check in staff. LOCATION: Any hotel in this area is centrally located to all the tourist areas. With in an hours drive to The pyramids of Teotihuacán, Xochimilco, Coyoacán and Chapultepec. Short Uber/ taxi ride to zona rosa, condesa, Roma. Literaly walk to centro histórico, Torre Latinoamericana, Bellas artes, and Plaza Garibaldi, and monumento a la Revolución. OVERALL: I would defiantly go again. As a matter of fact I’m already planning my next trip and I will be staying here. I see this hotel as the family in the block that is poor but making it work. But the price on this hotel was just right for my budget for the amount of days I was there (4). I pointed out things that where very obvious and can easily be resolved and they will next time I go. I think this hotel is and awesome option for those traveling in a budget or in a large group. RECOMMENDATION: YES (give it a chance)”
