We had a bad start to our trip to Mexico City as our transfer did not turn up to pick us up. Also when we arrived at the hotel Metrepol we did not have a booking, this was the fault of our travel agent.
But even though we had no reservation the staff at the hotel gave us a room while they tried to figure out why our agent hadn't sent them an accommodation voucher.
Eventually our room was sorted out by the staff at the Metropol, which is not something you'd get at every hotel.
Only a couple of staff at the hotel speaks fluent English but this did not cause us any problems. The hotel was basic and slightly dated but clean and comfortable. The room had a TV with a few English channels, a safe ($10 USD deposit required), dressing area, bath and shower.
The hotels restaurant was very nice and the prices were low. Although around the corner from the hotel there were quite a few restaurants and a 7/11. The hotel is around 10 minutes walk from Monumento a la Revolución.
Located in the lobby of the hotel is a travel office where trips to local attractions can be purchased, we paid $70 USD for two people to go and see the teotihuacan ruins, along with a few stops on the way.
I recommend this hotel due to the help we received with our problems and the location.
