It is a couple of blocks from Parque Alameda, Bellas Artes, Paseo Reforma and all that area contains in Centro Historico. $40 to $60 for a suite! Recommended.

You can cook your own food in one of the two kitchens or have breakfast for 15 pesos. Lots of interesting people work at or stay at the hostel and it is a great place to base yourself while in Mex City. We stayed in one of the doubles for about £7 a night.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5396 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5383
I shared a double room. It was clean, quiet, and had a large bathroom with a giant shower, TV, breakfast and coffee. This hotel is comparable to any moderately priced business hotel in the US. At the equivalent of $40 US per night it's a bargain. The staff were professional and attentive.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5383 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5346
Well, it just shows that you should never expect anything ordinary from a W Hotel. There’s custom-made 60s-styled furniture and coloured lighting in the lobby while bedrooms are decorated in bright cherry-red with a hammock in the ‘wetroom’.

The service, while friendly and eager to please, can be overwhelmingly American but that’s a cultural difference rather than a criticism – and it’s far better than being ignored in a British hotel. And, let’s be honest, hotels don’t get any cooler than this.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5346 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1153 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1153 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5398 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5398 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/192 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/192 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/191 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/191 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/188 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/188
