I stayed at this hotel between july 3-17 2008.
the location is wonderful - just 10 mins walk from insurgentes.
the stuff is also friendly and nice, and the rooms r clean.
BUT!!!!- the rooms are very small and there were no capboards- so u put all your cloth on some racks they give u and sometimes on your luggege. another issue is the shower- u have to wait for about 5 minutes before the hot water go out, and once they do- they wont get cold. they also really save up on toilet papers- i think they actually check out what u do with it- sometimes u have to ask a special request for it.
the last issue is breakfast. DO NOT BOOK AMERICAN BREAKFEST!!! it is not!!! its just eggs with bread, which u gonna get every day of u stay there, so watch out!!!

This was a nice experience. For the price paid (less than $ 50 a room) , this was the best deal we could get. The rooms are pretty spacy. The standard room doesn't have a wardrobe, just a bar in a niche. But that was fine. The room was quiet, clean, the shower had some black spots but wasn't smelly of mildew. The breakfast was included, with as much coffee as you like. The only minor was that we got only one small towel per person. It wasn't possible to get another one. The rooms are not heated, so take your pyjamas with you in wintertime.

It was a little bit older and more tired than I had expected from my research but we were still happy here. The room was very large and gaily painted however I feel this was to cover up the age and disrepair of the room (and it worked)! The bathroom was very small and basic and you had to pay for the internet. The Argentinian restaurant served good huge meals but the breakfast cafe was lacking in service and we gave up after the first morning. The English speaking man on reception was very helpful in assisting us with planning our day, overall we were satisfied.

Ok, i havent read through the other reviews.... but my experience of this place was very bad.
I was actually dumped here because expedia had overbooked on another hotel so they brought me here.
My first impression was good. As i walked into the reception i thought it would be good quality , seeing it was 4*and i was happy that it had a restaurant nearby and i liked the traditional mexican style decor.
I had no issues with the reception etc
However, when i got to my room, a shiver went down my spine.
The bed was old, hard and the sheets had HOLES and STAINS on them. That immediately put me off the idea that i would have to sleep in it. The TV controller was nailed to the wall and awkward to operate the television which was on its last legs.
The bathroom was sizeable but even though it was superficially clean i got another shiver down my spine. It felt dirty and when i used the shower it spirted out cold or hot water, no compromise.
There is something about this place which reaps of tatty, shortcuts and not clean.
Bascially, this is not a 4* by any standards.
My advice: avoid this place. I couldnt wait to get out !!
