Hotel Details

Location

The hotel sits on Eje Central, a 15-minute walk from Palacio de Bellas Artes and the historic centre, with metro lines nearby.
The location on Eje Central provides direct bus and trolley routes north, south, and west. The Doctores metro station (line 3) is within a 5-minute walk, giving access to the airport bus terminal and other lines. Palacio de Bellas Artes and Torre Latinoamericana are reachable in 15 minutes on foot. The neighbourhood (Colonia Doctores) has food stalls, a supermarket, and convenience stores. Benito Juarez International Airport is 9 km away. For longer trips, bus stops to the pyramids are a short walk. The area has a mix of services and is well-connected, but is not a high-tourism zone; walking alone at night requires standard urban caution.

Accommodation

Rooms are basic, very compact (approx. 3mx3m), and often windowless. Hard beds, single power socket, and no air conditioning or fan.
The accommodation is extremely basic and oriented toward the lowest price point. Rooms are small (the compact bathroom has no separation between shower and WC), often with no external window or only a small bathroom vent. Beds are firm and can be noisy with movement. The single power socket is near the door, making device charging awkward unless using an extension cord. One flat-screen TV is provided but has limited local channels. Daily housekeeping is available on request. Rooms facing the street hear noise from thin walls and the corridor. A sink is sometimes placed in the main room due to bathroom size. Ground-floor rooms are available, but no lift exists; stairs must be used to reach upper floors.

Dining

No breakfast or restaurant on site; milk, coffee, and access to a shared kitchen are available.
The hotel does not serve breakfast or have a restaurant. Coffee and milk are available. A shared kitchen can be used to warm food. Doctores metro line and the surrounding blocks offer street-food stalls (including tacos) and inexpensive eateries. A supermarket (Chedraui) is within walking distance for self-catering supplies.

Wellness and Leisure

No fitness, spa, or pool facilities. A nearby ice-skating rink is a local leisure option.
The hotel has no on-site wellness or leisure facilities such as a gym, pool, spa, or sauna. The confirmed nearby leisure option is an ice-skating rink. Guests stay here for the low price and central location, not for recreation amenities.

Facilities and Services

24-hour front desk, free in-room Wi-Fi, daily room cleaning on request, free luggage storage, and CCTV security.
The 24-hour front desk allows check-in at any hour, including late-night arrivals. Free Wi-Fi is available in rooms, though signal stability can vary. Daily room cleaning is available upon request. Free luggage storage is offered before check-in and after check-out, useful for early arrivals or late departures. Security includes CCTV in common areas and outside, plus fire extinguishers. An invoice is provided upon request. Payment is by Visa or MasterCard. No laundry service on site, but a laundromat is two blocks away. The hotel has ground-floor rooms for easier access, but there is no lift. No parking is available.
