HOTEL ROBLE, Mexico City

Hotel Roble sits just 250 metres from Mexico City's main square, placing the Metropolitan Cathedral, National Palace, Templo Mayor, and Alameda Park within a few minutes' walk. The Zócalo Metro Station is also a short stroll away, and the surrounding streets are lined with restaurants, bars, and convenience stores (7-11, Oxxo). Mexico City Airport is 12 km away; the most practical option is a taxi arranged through the hotel at a fixed rate of MXN 220 per car. During rush hours the immediate area becomes congested, so allow extra time if using Uber or a taxi. The area is considered safe, with a visible police presence.

Rooms at Hotel Roble are functional and compact; some are particularly small - suitable mainly for solo travellers or short couples' stays, but tight for families or groups. Available configurations include one double bed, one king-size bed, two double beds, twin beds (2 single beds), and a family room with three beds. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower (no bathtub), a flat-screen cable TV, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Several rooms face a venting shaft or interior courtyard with no exterior view, while those facing the street can be noisy. No rooms have a balcony. Some rooms lack windows, which limited ventilation. The corridors are uncarpeted, so luggage and footstep noise carry easily. Daily housekeeping is provided.

Restaurante Maple offers a menu of Mexican dishes with vegetarian and dairy-free options, open Monday-Saturday 07:30-21:30 and Sunday 08:30-17:30. An American-style breakfast is available for an additional charge of MXN 170 per person, served Monday-Saturday 07:15-12:00 and Sunday 08:00-12:00; it includes coffee or tea, juice or fruit, and a choice of one dish. Service at breakfast can be slow during busy periods. For other meals, the attached restaurant is a convenient and affordable option. The immediate area has numerous other restaurants within a 5-minute walk.

Hotel Roble does not have a swimming pool, spa, gym, sauna, or any dedicated wellness or leisure facilities. The property's value lies entirely in its central location, making it straightforward to walk to Mexico City's historic attractions, parks, and cultural sites.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and is free of charge. A 24-hour front desk provides concierge and tour desk services, plus free luggage storage that can be used before check-in and after check-out. Daily housekeeping is included. A lift serves all floors. Business facilities include a free business centre and fax/photocopying. Safety features include key card access, CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box in each room. An airport taxi can be arranged through reception for MXN 220 per car.

A trouser press and a hairdryer are available from reception. English is spoken by some staff, particularly on the morning shift.
