Best Value Hotels in Mexico City
If you’re planning a trip to Mexico City and need some hotel ideas — and you’re willing to forgo the marble bathrooms, fleet of luxury cars, and bath butler service (or if you have no idea what “bath butler service” even means) — then you’ve come to the right place. We sent hotel investigators all over Mexico’s capital to find the most pleasant and reasonably priced places to stay.
Hotel PF
Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico
This '70s-era Zona Rosa hotel, conveniently located near El Angel de la Independencia, is well-maintained and includes high-quality wood furniture and beams -- especially in the lobby. Each of the 142 rooms is pleasant, and has laminate wood flooring and a flat-screen TV. There are two restaurants, one of which serves a breakfast buffet. Wi-Fi and parking are free, but expect to pay extra for breakfast and coffee in the rooms. Guests are either here on business or for the tourist-friendly neighborhood. For a hotel in the same neighborhood with more pizazz, check rates at Room Mate Valentina.
Hotel Del Principado
Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico
The 50-room Hotel Del Principado is located in the heart of the Zona Rosa neighborhood within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars, and businesses. Rooms are basic and not air-conditioned, but do have flat-screen TVs, free bottled water, and free Wi-Fi. The budget hotel's main selling point is its central location and low rates; another option travelers could consider is Hotel Fontan Reforma.
Hotel Casa Gonzalez
Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico
Hotel Casa Gonzalez consists of four historic homes built in the traditional Mexican quinta-style, surrounded by courtyards and gardens, and now converted into guest houses. The 33 clean, cozy rooms are individually decorated and renovated to include flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, and most have an outdoor area as well. There's a charming family-run Mexican restaurant on-site that serves a substantial breakfast for a small fee.
Hotel Gillow
Mexico City, Central Mexico and Gulf Coast, Mexico
Originally built as part of a church in the 1800s, Hotel Gillow sits in the heart of Mexico City's walkable and beautiful Historic District. Guests can expect pleasant rooms, a solid restaurant, and historical ambience at budget prices, though they should also bank on a few downsides, like spotty Wi-Fi, a charge for breakfast, and noise from the city. Decor and amenities in the 103 rooms don't really vary, but the Suite has the most space and a hot tub in the bathroom. The vast majority of guests here are tourists who want a comfortable night's sleep and a decent breakfast before exploring the neighborhood.
