After the first time I stayed in this hotel, I knew this will be my favorite in Mexico city. I stay here everytime I go there. It is just one block from the "Angel de la Independencia", the Zona Rosa where the best restaurants are. The service at the hotel is excellent, very clean and big rooms. The prize is SO affordable and everytime I go there, I get free nights, or discounts at their restaurant or upgrades to the suites. This is a small chain of hotels that definitely cares about the customer service.
At the corner, there is an OXXO, 1 block from a "farmacia", in the same block there are like 5 nice restaurants, 1 block from Sanborns, so you have almost everything you need for a pleasure or business trip.
Try it, you won't regret.

PD: The only week point is that there is no fitness room.

The front desk staff was VERY helpful and most knew fluent english. We got a tour guide and a car for a day- it was GREAT! The door opened the wrong way in the bathroom, so it was awkward to move around in. The shower had very poor water pressure. Pillows were quite firm...we were given a different room for our 2nd nite, and that too had poor water pressure. Apparently they don't use face cloths in Mexico...just bath and hand towels. Not to USA standards, but for $70 a nite it was OK.

The location is great and the service was not bad. The problem with this hotel is cleanliness. The bed was dirty, bathroom, hair everywhere, so disgusting.

I was more than a little worried after reading reviews, but this hotel was highly recommended to me for it's price and location, and it did not disappoint! Everyone at the front desk spoke english and the room was clean and neat, if not a little out-dated (the hotel was in the process of renovating the lower floors, including new furniture and hardwood floors). We did encounter a few problems; the sliding glass shower door was off its track and the chain to flush the toilet in the reserve tank had come off, but I fixed both in no time without the notifying management. Our only other complaint about the room was the lack of an alarm clock, but the wake-up calls were reliable.

The complimentary breakfast buffet was perfect four our needs; offering 4 dishes (scrambled eggs, chilequiles, refried beans and a rotating potato dish) along with assorted rolls and pastries, cereal, milk, juice and coffee. The location seemed very safe and we walked around at night without a problem. Lots of restaurants and nightlife in the immediate area and the more busy Zona Rosa just a 5 minute walk away.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a great centrally located place to stay to experience Mexico City. If you want to hole-up in your hotel, perhaps you should look elsewhere.
