FRONTERA 49 ROMA NORTE HOSTAL, Mexico City

The hostal is located 2 km from The Angel of Independence and an 18-minute walk from the United States Embassy, placing guests near Museo de Arte Popular, Chapultepec Castle, and the Reforma corridor. The area is known for its safety and walkability, with many restaurants, cafés, and shops within a 5-minute walk, including Pizza Peppino's, Deseo Cafe De Especialidad, and La Docena Oyster Bar & Grill. Metrobus stations are a few minutes away on foot, and the subway (Metro) is about a 12-15 minute walk, providing direct connections across Mexico City. Benito Juarez International Airport is 11 km away; taxis and rideshares are the standard transfer options.

Each room includes a private bathroom with a bath or shower, a work desk, and a private terrace or balcony. The property offers both private and dormitory-style rooms; standard private rooms come with either a single twin bed or a double bed, so travellers needing a double bed should confirm availability at booking. Room conditions vary: some are clean and comfortable for a budget stay, while others show signs of age with hard mattresses, thin pillows, and possible mould or lack of maintenance. Noise can be an issue, particularly for rooms near the restaurant (which plays music from 9:00 to around 20:00) and rooms facing the street. The property does not have air conditioning; a fan can be requested. Mosquito screens are not fitted on windows, so keeping windows closed or using repellent is advisable.

The family-friendly restaurant offers a menu of Mexican dishes available for brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea, and cocktail hour. The bar serves cocktails and other drinks, and there is a solarium for relaxation. Guests receive a 10% discount on restaurant bills. The restaurant can be noisy, with music that starts early in the morning and continues until about 20:00, including on Sundays, which may affect those hoping for a quiet property. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available, offering a convenient dining option without leaving the building.

Leisure options include a solarium and a rooftop terrace with city views, which is a popular space for relaxing and socialising. The property also hosts live music performances and movie nights, creating a social atmosphere. The co-working area is available but may be affected by noise from the restaurant during the day and by the surrounding neighbourhood on weekends.

Free WiFi is accessible in public areas, though signal reliability varies across the property. The 24-hour front desk can assist with check-in, luggage storage, early check-in, and arranging taxis.
