ULIV Mexico City
Staff was courteous, location is convenient, rooms are good but on weekends, streets were very noisy throughout the night with police sirens and cars honking constantly. We had two rooms and both were street facing and we couldn't sleep properly any of the nights.

A lovely oasis in the Historico Central area. Breakfasts were amazing! The walking tour was extremely helpful for Mexico City newbies - thanks Nadia! Hotel staff was helpful and no problems communicating in English.

Zocalo Central & Rooftop Mexico City
Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was very good and 24 free snack bar was a bonus. Room was clean and big enough for 2. If possible request a room not facing the street as it can be noisy.
