Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Weak Wi-Fi in some rooms — While Wi-Fi is free throughout, a few guests reported the signal was too weak to connect from their room, so connectivity may be inconsistent.
  • Limited English spoken by staff — Only the manager is described as speaking English; other staff may struggle, so communication might require patience if the manager is away.
  • Some rooms share bathrooms — Several reviews mention shared bathrooms, so not all rooms have private facilities. Check room type when booking.
  • Paid parking only — On-site parking is available but at an additional cost, which may add to the overall expense for drivers.

“The room was snug but comfortable, with a great bed and a nice bathroom. The location near the subway was just what I needed.”

5.4Verified guest

“I really liked the hotel's location, very close to the metro station, which was super convenient. The manager speaks English and is very friendly, though he's the only one on staff who does.”

5.4Verified guest

“I love this hotel – it's the best for backpacking couples in Mexico City. Hot showers 24/7, fast Wi-Fi, rooms cleaned every day, and the staff are incredibly friendly, helping with everything I asked. It's not right by the Zócalo, but the metro is just three stops away, and a ride costs only 3 pesos. A big supermarket and many taco shops are nearby. I'd definitely recommend for backpackers and would return myself.”
