Close to all activities, very clean and very friendly staff, very reliable management and all services needed We spend about 12 days at this hotel during the months of january, february and march 2009. The accepted to keep for us luggages without any cost. It is very usefull to know that you can leave important things in security. I do not know many hotels that could do so and that way. They also have a convenient restaurant, a adequate taxi service, a good parking lot and a gentle staff. We recommend and the price is very good if we compare to others hotels in town.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : shopping, all activities

Good value for the price, large room, friendly staff. The elevator is a bit noisy and can be heard in your room. The hotel was a pleasant surprise. I had heard that the area (Zona Rosa) was a bit run-down and not entirely safe. I found it to be quite a lively neighbourhood, with a good choice of restaurants and the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Insurgentes Metro station. The room was a good size, a large bed, a telephone, cable tv, free bottled water everyday and room service. The all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast was also a good deal at 70 pesos. The staff was friendly, relaxed and very helpful when asked for help. For a 3 star hotel this is a very well-run establishment. I would definitely stay again should I be in Mexico City. It is also gay friendly.
Shopping Tip : If you are interested in antiques there is an antiques mall down the street from the hotel (opposite side of the street in the direction of the Insurgentes metro) called Plaza San Angel. The prices are very high but it's worth a look.

Wonderful staff, close to the Metro Station, nearby shops and taco stand nearby. Neighborhood and hotel can be somewhat noisy (dogs and street vendors), bring some earplugs. No room by room heat/AC control. Remember Mexico city is a temperate climate though so we were comfortable after we asked for an extra blanket. There was also a box fan in the room and the windows opened (no screens though). Also ask for extra pillows as the feather pillows were a little worn down. We had a wonderful 12 day trip in Mexico city. The Del Principado staff helped make this a wonderful time. They were kind, helpful and really cared about their jobs and the work they were doing. The hotel was in a great location for us a short 10 minute walk to the Metro stop. The hotel was very clean, thanks to the diligent cleaning staff and the room looked exactly like it did on the website. The beds were comfortable, though the area could be noisy and it would have been difficult on some nights if we didn't have our earplugs. Most of the staff spoke some English. We only had the breakfast one morning, but it would have been a good way to start your day if you wanted to eat at the hotel. The dinner there was OK, but there are plenty of other nearby options that we explored and enjoyed more than the hotel food. We also had no trouble booking with Agoda (first time), though I'd recommend emailing the hotel ahead of time just to make sure that they got everything.
Hotel Feature Tip : Bring some earplugs (Hearos recommended) and pickup a 5 liter of water (for about $1) at the nearby Waldo's on Insurgentes. Ask for extra pillows and blankets if needed.

Room service is exemplary, fast and courteous. Housekeeping staff are friendly and efficient.
Nightlife Tip : Located in the Zona Rosa, the hotel is close to many interesting nightclubs and restaurants.

It has no air conditioning Very good price and good location for what I needed it, outside is not so attractive but the rooms are clean and comfortable but no air conditioning but found everything very basic personal and friendly. Located near Metro Insurgentes, a few steps from Paseo de la Reforma, near Chapultepec Park and the tourist area of the Zona Rosa.
Shopping Tip : There are shops with very nice leather on the promenade leading to the zona rosa
