Good hotel

Good location, the room was small but very comfortable

Very friendly staff

We are a couple and a teenage boy.
This is the second time we choose Century Hotel and all was the same as a year before.
One of the elevators is always out of service but beside that, all is wonderful there.

This time was floor 17th.
The room has a decent space to take a coffee next to a great view to Liverpool street and you can see many buidings from there.
The bathroom is good, has a big round tube with shower and many towels to use.
No noise from the aisle or other rooms but some pours from the streets, because of its splendid location.

We book it on advance and this time we asked for a buffet breakfast, which was a better choice.
Coffee, chocolate, croissants, yogurth, juices, ham, cheese, all was good and you can pick whatever you want.
The people of the buffet was beyond kind to us.
They also have a free Internet connection.

There's a lot of shops around including restaurants, bars, antiques and souvenirs.
There's a great cd and dvd store two blocks away and another big book store, just ask on the desk.

With the Angel of the Independence, the Chapultepec Park (the Anthropology Museum, Zoo, Gardens, etc) a couple of blocks away and every bus and metro available at the same distance, we can't think of a better place to stay in DF.

Yes, the "zocalo" (historical district) is somehow far, but at night this is a better zone to stay and walk around and you can take the Metro which is just a block away... or even a bus.

Not a single trouble on the streets or in the Metro.
Just be careful, don't take big purses or jewels and try to plan your trip in advance.
You can go to places as far as Xochimilco just by taking the Metro!

We had a wonderful time there... for the second time... and we'd choose it again!

No customer oriented. Wanted to increase price after check in.
Elevators did not work most of the time, staff unfriendly.

I stayed in the Century Zona Rosa in June of 2007. I found it to be very adequate and reasonably priced. It’s an older hotel but well maintained and clean. The staff is very pleasant and VERY helpful. Some street noise in the room if you get a room in the front street side. The restaurant is very clean….there is someone in there all the time cleaning something. The food is very good, reasonably priced and service is outstanding. It is located in an older part of the city and in the heart of the “Zona Rosa” (Pink Zone)…Mexico City’s Gay district. Public display of affection between same-sex couples is prevalent. Lots of Gay bars, restaurants, shops and sex shops in the area. If any of that offends you then look elsewhere. Hotel is near a Metro (subway) Station…about 2 blocks I think. Lots of taxis available outside the hotel. Lots of shopping and good international restaurants in the area. 30 - 40 minutes from the Mexico City International Airport…taxi fare was $22 USD. Hotel is just 2 blocks from the main drag thru the city… Avenida Reforma. I walked around the area in the late evening and it was a safe place to walk. If you’re thinking about renting a car and driving in the city…DON’T. It’s a city of 26 million people and they’re all on the streets in cars.
