Hotel Details

Location

In a safe, central area 13 km from Benito Juarez International Airport, 14 minutes' walk from The Angel of Independence and 2 km from the National Museum of Anthropology.
Situated in a residential zone between Polanco and Reforma, the property is within walking distance of many key landmarks: Chapultepec Castle (1 km), the United States Embassy (14 minutes), and Chapultepec Forest (4 km). The neighbourhood is safe and well-connected, with a busy street making it easy to hail Ubers or taxis. Several restaurants and shops are within a 5-minute walk. For light sleepers, rooms facing the main road can be noisy; a higher floor away from the street is quieter.

Accommodation

Compact rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, free WiFi, and streaming TVs. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the street.
Rooms vary from double rooms to suites with a separate living area. All units include a coffee machine, refrigerator, microwave, kitchenware, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Bed configurations range from one double bed to two twin beds; suites can sleep up to two on a sofa bed. Ventilation is limited as windows are small and open onto an inner courtyard, which also admits light and noise from neighbours. Rooms on upper floors can get warm, especially during the day. Portable fans are available, and heaters are provided in cooler months. Some rooms feature a balcony overlooking the street. Road-facing rooms on lower levels are louder; higher rooms facing away from the street are quieter. The building has no elevator. For claustrophobic travellers, the smaller rooms may feel cramped.

Dining

Complimentary coffee and tea in rooms. Each room has a kitchenette for self-catering. Numerous restaurants are within a short walk.
Each room is equipped with a coffee machine, fridge, microwave, and cookware, making self-catering straightforward. Nearby dining options within 0.5 km include Rincon De Praga, Narciso Comedor Vegetariano, Otro Cafe, Don Asado, Mukyu, and several others, offering a variety of cuisines. For those who prefer to stay in, the kitchenette allows preparation of simple meals. No on-site restaurant or breakfast service is provided.
