This was my second time at the Radisson Hotel Flamingos and was as good as the first time. My reservation was ready. Room service delivered my dinner in the range of time promised. The hotel has free WiFi which is a plus compared with the $10USD (minimum) that you have to pay for a period of 24 hrs. in other hotels.
It is true that the hotel is not located in a nocturnal activity zone but if you hire a taxi it is very close to the Condesa (1.5mi), Polanco (3mi) or the "Pink Zone (2.5mi) centers of dining and night life.
The only "problem" I had was that I requested a king-size bed and because of remodeling and refurbishing the kind of rooom I requested was not available.

Let's start with the good. It is a cheap ($60 on Priceline), nice, clean and modern hotel located in a relativly central part of Mexico City. There is purified running water, strong showers and late-night room service. If you are looking for a comfortable and clean place to sleep, this will do fine.

However, that is where it ends. The service at the hotel is terrible, leaning into the territory of absurd. For example, I called the front desk 6 times over a period of 4 hours asking for an extra pillow, which never came! The next day, when houskeeping took my TV remote control I had to ask - yes, this is true - no less than 10 times for a replacement remote. When I went down to the front desk for the final time he actually pulled a remote out from a drawer and gave it to me. Why he didn't do that hours ago, I have no idea. And my room service debacle isn't even worth mentioning. On the plus side, I did become fluent in Spanish when it comes pillows and remotes!

The location of the hotel is ok, but not great. If you are driving it is near the highways and it doesn't take long to get to the airport, even in rush hour. However, it's a very grimy area that shuts down at night so you'll need to order room service in order to eat. Even the subway station is a 15 minute walk.

There are many nicer hotels in Mexico City that are similiar in price, with better locations and service. So avoid this one if you can.

My stay was so wonderful.

Since my arrival, the staff was so helpul. An my room really nice decorated as I seen at photos.

Food was delicious and personnel friendly.

It was a wonderful experience.

As a first trip to Mexico City, I didn't know any better...

Colleagues were surprised we were booked in here - it has a reputation locally of hiring out rooms by the hour !

Also be very careful to use taxis approved by the hotel - although that is a general rule in Mexico City as per warnings given out by the US Embassy.

On the upside, the rooms were well appointed with quality fittings and were spacious, if rather dated. Breakfasts were also good.

However, I won't be staying here again - it does not deserve 4 star status.
