Where to stay in Federal District
Federal District hotels & accommodations
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel though I stayed only 1 night unfortunately. due to the time limitation. I recognized that the hotel is * very clean * spacious * good staffs * comfortable * good locartion I will stay again if I visit there.
this hotel has everything you can wish for, except free wi-fi, which is a bit strange since most hotels in mexico city offer free wi-fi and still are less pricey than the the hilton reforma is charging per night. difficult to find out why. hilton policy? but the location is great and the room, spacious and silent, with a spectacular view (if you are high up) is perfe...
following a horrendous drive from the airport, traffic +++ arrived at the hotel and the staff where fantastic. Shown to our room given a lesson on all the facilities etc. I had some problems with pick up transfers (which i had pre booked) I had problems with checking in(on line) on flights prior to departure and I was not able to find a travel/holiday info etc, the sta...
I spent 4 nights here and could not be more pleased with my stay. It's on the pricier side, but the rooms are extremely spacious, bathrooms are clean, roomy, and well stocked. I checked in early in the morning, which cost an extra $50USD I think, so they changed my original room with a balcony to the highest floor instead with a twin bed and no balcony. No bigs conside...
The couples massage was perfect. It was the best. The entire staff completed the weekend. I rate this as the best hotel experience I have ever experienced.
The hotel is located at the quiet end of Calle Palma, a two minute walk from the bustle of the historic district. Although English isn’t stron amongst staff, there was always someone available to help us communicate. The rooms are basic and clean; the chambermaids professional and caring,. The fifth floor restaurant serves a buffet breakfast with personal touches avail...

If you like access to the heart of the city and don’t mind stepping into the hullabaloo the minute you exit the hotel then you can’t beat Hotel Ritz. The staff is professional and everything is well-run. We had to change rooms because the smoking from the patio trickled into our room, but the transition was smooth and hassle-free.
This was my first trip to Mexico City in many years, and the W hotel did much to make all my concerns go away - and made my week long stay very comfortable indeed. Well located in the Polanco neighborhood - close to the highways - but also to great restaurants and shopping areas - the W hotel is a relatively small hotel offering superb service all around. To mention ju...
Too noisy: dogs barking, water pump on and off day and night, windows facing the stairs you could hear conversations between staff and other clients Poor privacy you must keep all blinds shut hot water on and off no phone close to bed no TV service (only netflix)
Okay, when we checked the room details, we didn't see any AC or Fan listed but we didn't think the room wouldn't have either, really. We were kind of shocked at first, but then we realized that there is also none in reception and restaurant areas. We came to understand that the hotel has a quite good ventilation system which can keep it cool at most time. Yes, the room...
Good location, correct hotel, nice and professional staff, poor breakfast choice. Agoda should make sure that the reservation staff get briefed about the payment so do not charge us as we already paid through the platform.
safe hotel in mexico city! 7-11 nearby
I had a very pleasant stay in this boutique hotel where the staff was really nice, the room very functional and spacious and the hotel is ideally located in Condesa, a very nice area in the center of Mexico city. I had my breakfast every morning with the sun on the rooftop. And there is a washing machine and dryer in self service for free, awesome. Uber takes you anywh...
The Hampton Inn was an amazing start to our time in Mexico! When we arrived weary from our long travels the helpful night staff checked us in swiftly and even put together some food for us free of charge! Breckfasts were lovely! It was a one minute stroll to the Zacola, which is exactly where you want to start each day with a mid morning coffee before heading out to wa...
The hotel is very convenient who needs to stay or has business in Col.Santa Fé, Deleg.Guajimalpa. this area has several business offices and also a shopping Mall, one of the biggest and high end in Mexico D.F. Nice set up, nice people and decent service, honoring the 4 stars they claim.
It is next to the USA Embassy. It is an older hotel, but up to date and next to the USA Embassy, so no fear of any problems that would occur.
I find it perfect
Stay was absolutely perfect, great hotel by all merits, attentative staff, excellent rooms, design, really top notch hotel... only minor was not linked to hotel itself, Presidente Masary is being renovated and it is very hard to walk with the extra baggages on your way to hotel
Location is excellent, plenty of bars and restaurants within a block or two, and the hotel is stylish and modern, we got the junior suite which was perfect. We did have an issue with staff waking us up at 12:30am to offer us more water which was odd and frustrating. Breakfast was average but overall I'd stay there again. If you're wondering where to stay in Mexico City...
We only stayed 1 night but it was a nice stay. The hotel is a little hard to find as there is no signage. It is a very quiet and relaxing place to stay with good service and a great happy hour deal on drinks.
A nice hotel within easy and safe walking to historico area even at nightfall-We didnt feel worried once . The staff were friendly and helpful
I want to give the Casa Gonzalez a favorable review - there are many things that make it the perfect place to stay. Location for us was perfect. Short taxi rides to most places we wanted to visit and a leisurely walk to many neighborhoods like the historic center, Chapultapec, Roma, Condessa. Countless bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel has a very secluded feel, ...
Love this place as it is walking distance to all the places we want to go & also accessible to most of the hot spot in Mexico City. The room is small as compare to the other hotel we have stayed in but it is still comfortable. There are free breakfast everyday & we were happy that they provide different Mexican dishes every morning so that we can try them out. It is in...
This hotel is centrally located in "safe zone" area of Mexico city called Polanco. I stayed in club level room so I do enjoy the benefit it brings including breakfast in 39th floor where I can view the beautiful Mexico City in the early morning. The service is good and attentive. The breakfast comprises of quality food but the variety is quite limited and no salad at a...
I loved the staff. There was room service and it was cheap and good food. My only complaint was the noise. I could here everyone in the hotel. Hard to sleep that way.
-Excellent breakfast, perfect location for easy mobility via metro or bus. -Very close to COYOACAN, lovely area for a day or night out, dining, people watching, etc.. -Very clean and well designed spaces. Staff helpful and friendly but not pushy. -Occasional power outages (for seconds) strange, but other than that it was a perfect stay.
This was the third hotel I tried in the Zocalo area. Pretty, basic older hotel. Breakfast in lobby restaurant was a good deal. Local neighborhood bar attached to lobby. Close to Metro, and to the Zocalo. My room had big windows, and a Juliette balcony. Buses run on the south side of hotel, so it's a little noisy in the early morning. Bus did not run at night...
Cheap places to stay in Federal District
Close to the center, they offer all the services you can need for a really good price! The only issue is the wifi available only in the common space, but it work really well! If you need a place to stay in Mexico, book here !
Great location. The neighborhood is a bit active at night. Soothing view to a?classical urban park. Rooms are spacious and clean.
Sexually driven area, lol. But quite an experience. This hotel is modern and clean, but also known this hotel accepts clients and their Johns.
Walking distance to the center of Mexico City and inside of luxuly mall, the hotel is located on the perfect spot. However, once in the room it looks old and not clean, so it was a bit disappointing especially when it had been perfect until lobby and the pics of room is so nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and when I don't speak spanish and it's not easy ...
The place with sofas are just at the dorms entrance and people stay here all the night to talk sometimes with music, this is bad and not possible to close one of the door so we have light aswell. The receptionists are good and the bathroom not bad, the cleaning women spend a long time to clean everywhere everyday. Good location.
Easy access to hop on hop off bus stop, convenience shop and authentic mexico restaurant. Don't expect much on the room facilities, they r selling location. Room have no fan, Tv channel not much selection and it old fashion Tv box. Breakfast not much selection but it give you full enough. To be fair for hotel, overall staying here is still acceptable.
The room is great. The location is perfect, simple one buss ride to Roma or city center. Restaurant nearby. Perfectly safe. The staff are super nice as well. However the walls are like paper thin and I don’t know but the other guests were sooo inappropriate. They would open their doors at the middle of the night and then continue to have loud conversations with music a...
I couldn't find here easily, The location is also not so good. Public areas are clean, but the covers are not clean. And Many Mexicans are living here, so I could make local friends and got an informations easily.
It was a little bit out of the main historic centre but good for the price. It's only a 10 minute walk to the main bit. Room was really big. Wifi wasn't great - didn't work for us anywhere in the hotel.
Couldn't believe we could get a place this good in a capital city for this price. Huge room with king sized bed, nice bathroom, toiletries, cable TV, Wifi. Location was OK - about 15 minutes walk from the Metro with bags and closer to the Metrobus and local buses. Good cheap eating options nearby - if you feel like a change from Mexican food try the creperie across th...
Booked three nites and stayed only one nite., then left. The space in female dorm is relatively small, my bad luck to be arranged close to the door and I was the last one to check in, so everybody just put their stuffs everywhere and around my locker, I had to move their bags to open my locker, and clothes were hanged everywhere, I didn’t have any space to just hang a ...
close to the airport and the train station. The room rate is cozy too! and the owner is super nice, helpful and responsible. i got late check -in (1:30am), but the owner, Verenice, still waited for me. she fave me her whatsapp, so that she can offer help immediately anytime. Below accident can show how good the ower is. i forgot to take my room key with me to the bat...
It's a 7- minute walk from the airport, so very conveniently located if you need to fly, and don't want the hassle of riding the Metro or using a cab or Uber at odd hours. The neighborhood is kind of grubby, but did not seem terribly unsafe. I walked to the airport in the dark early morning hours, and nobody seemed interested in me. Friendly staff, and there's always f...
Bed bugs; I was itchy the whole night and felt things crawl on me. I even put down clothes and towel to sleep on but it only helped a little. The room was stuffy and no ac or fan. I open the window which helped a little bit u can see right across from neighbor and increase noise. So I woke up with many mite bites on my skin which confirms there where mites in the bed :...

Average. The restaurant service was very slow - it took me 25 min to get my breakfast delivered as my order was lost somewhere. Had difficulties communicating in English.
clearn room. good smells linens, comfortable bed. Additionaly, this hostel's orner, Ablaham is really kind. mucho gracias!
There's not much English spoken here, so if you freak out at not being able to communicate easily, this might be a problem. However, the young man now on afternoon/evening duty (3-11) lived in the US most his life so is bilingual. Morning staff aren't, though they can rustle up someone to translate as needed. This by way of preface to saying it's a MEXICAN hotel - not...
I loved staying at the Suite Lerma. Very clean facility with nice staff. On a great street with tons of restaurants to choose from, and a 5 minute walk to the Seville metro stop. One block away from the main avenue. The room was on the smaller side, but I felt was a great value considering the price. Would recommend to my friends.
Very welcome arrival and was put at rest to find the reception staff could speak some English as my Spanish is poor. The room was big and kept very clean throughout our stay there.The restaurant had a large menu and served till 11pm, if needed, and reasonably priced drinks (when compared to some of the bars outside). There are so many nearby restaurants however we were...

A tired hotel resting on its laurels whose assets are being sweated. Nothing wrong with that, so long as you get a good price on the room, in which case highly recommended
this is a great deal if you are a non pretencious person,and you are just lokking for a nice affordable place to stay. is very well located,kind of hide but one st walk from reforma av. and about 15 min walking to downtown,chapultepec and other nice areas clean,not fancy,minimum ammenities(just soap,and drinking water) witha nice pool onn the roof,a huge plus to relax...
This hotel is located on a very busy avenue, lots of traffic but traffic noise is very suppressed with the construction, not a problem. Walking distance to subway station, restaurants, etc. Good and friendly hotel staff. if you have to be in that area, it is probably the best. Has ample parking and restaurant. I surely recommend and will return as necessary
Hotel is far from Zocalo which is fine with us since it's our 2nd visit to Mexico City. It is close to the subway station which is convenient. The room is small but fairly clean. We stayed an extra 3 hours after check-out time since our flight was at 7 with no extra charge, thanks to the generous owner,
We checked in past 10pm and the guy at the desk cldnt speak English. Was given a room where loud music was blasting. Its Sat and the music did not even stopped past 2am. The air con was spoilt and security guard gave us a fan for the night. The room given was a disappointment. The next morning we spoke to a great staff named Karla Velazquez, who cld understand us in En...
Clean rooms and a very comfortable bed! The staff are always amazing! I have stayed here twice now. Ubers find it hard to find you, so walk out the front and around the corner and you will be fine! Good hotel in a good location
Bed and the room was very comfortable and clean. It was like a home instead of a hotel room. Location was near to metro and metrobus. Staff and owner was helpful.

I like everything in this hotel. Perfecto. I will come definitely to this hotel. More power hotel sevill.
If your trip to Mexico City is to participate or join any event in WTC... Hotel Novit is the choice to book... compare to other Hotels close to WTC.. it is new.. clean... and convinient

For the price that we paid it was not worthy..
Location is good and very convenient.
The hotel is centrally located and can go to major sightseeing places on foot. The room was clean, really comfortable and food at restaurant was fine. It costs 180 peso to the airport if you ask the hotel staff for a taxi. Overall it's value for money.
when i travel to mexico city, i always stay at the monaco. it is a gem of a hotel with quality you would expect at a higher price. it is near the alameda and walking distance from the zocalo and the central historical district. the in-house restaurant is good and the waiters attentive. one indication of the quality is that i have only ever seen mexicans in the restaura...
It was my first stay in Mexico City, arriving late at night, so I decided to reserve a hotel in advance. It's a good hotel, nice rooms, clean, good restaurant. What was somehow strange or a kind of "disturbing" are the 2 lions in the small cage in the park in the middle of the hotel complex. The cage was cleaned every morning, food and treatment seemed to be good - but...
Absolutely loved this place. Was in a beautiful part of Condesa. We stayed in the smaller apartment and loved it. It was so quiet even though it is close to the road. The staff were really friendly when they were there. Gorgeous property. Cant fault it. Only issue is with the availability of the staff. As it is not a hotel they are not there all hours of the da...
Excelent service.
The Geneve is an old friend. I first stayed there in the early 1970s and repeated my visits to the hotel several times in the following decade. I had not been back for at least 30 years, but I wanted to make a last trip to Mexico City and relive some youthful experiences, so I chose the Geneve for a couple of nights. I was not disappointed. The hotel has aged more ...
From now on I will always book my Mexico city accommodations in Hotel Regente. We visit every year, and Regente provides by far the best overall value. Excellent friendly and efficient service; wireless internet, etc. But the best feature, apart from the good price/excellent value is the location. Perfect for either downtown/zocalo, etc or walking south 20 minutes alon...

I was passing through Mexico City and had half a day between flights and wanted a hotel with some decent running nearby. The university area and the botanical gardens fit the bill. Standard business hotel with a very American-sounding check-in person. A bit far from the airport but if you arrive off-hours or on a weekend it is still a pretty quick 200 peso taxi ride fr...
The staff will try to make you as comfortable as possible as soon as you walk in the door. Highly recommended if you want to be pampered.
The rooms are beautiful and perfectly clean supplies with everything you need. There is a roof top patio also beautiful and clean. My only concern was that for the price there was no pool or exercise room. But there is a spa next door and location is perfect. Would stay there again.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Trendy, cool, and unique. Staff was very helpful. Great food and drinks! HIghly recommend!
Very gay friendly hotel, which I appreciate. Lovely place, big rooms, nice staff, good location.
Room was clean, staff were very friendly, opposite Starbucks coffee for my morning brew and the gym was 24hours with all facilities intact, which was wonderful.

More about Federal District
Discover the Vibrant Culture of Federal District
Federal District, home to the bustling capital of Mexico City, is a captivating blend of rich history and contemporary life. The cultural scene here is nothing short of extraordinary, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in a variety of traditional festivals, local customs, and artistic expressions. One of the most exciting aspects of this area is its vibrant street life, where colorful markets and lively plazas serve as the backdrop for daily interactions. Experience the warmth of the locals as you stroll through neighborhoods like Coyoacán, known for its artistic flair and colonial architecture. Here, the echoes of Frida Kahlo's legacy resonate, inviting you to explore her iconic blue house, now a museum dedicated to her life and work.
Throughout the year, Federal District hosts a plethora of festivals that celebrate its diverse heritage. The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a spectacular event where families honor their deceased loved ones with altars adorned with marigolds, photographs, and favorite foods. The vibrant parades and artistic displays during this time create a unique atmosphere that is both festive and reflective. Another notable event is the Independence Day celebrations on September 16, where the streets come alive with fireworks, music, and traditional dances. These events not only showcase the rich cultural tapestry of the region but also provide an opportunity to engage with locals and learn about their customs firsthand.
Unforgettable Experiences Await in Federal District
When it comes to activities and attractions, Federal District offers something for everyone. Art enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise with a visit to the National Museum of Anthropology, which houses an impressive collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts, including the famous Aztec calendar stone. For those looking to enjoy the outdoors, the expansive Chapultepec Park is a must-visit. This urban oasis features lush gardens, museums, and even a lake where visitors can rent paddle boats. The park's highlight, Chapultepec Castle, provides stunning views of the city and a glimpse into Mexico's royal history.
Families will also find plenty to explore in Federal District. A trip to the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco offers a unique experience, where colorful trajineras (traditional boats) glide along the canals while mariachi bands play lively tunes. For thrill-seekers, Six Flags Mexico promises a day filled with exhilarating rides and entertainment for all ages. With so many options, it’s easy to see why Federal District is a top destination for travelers seeking unforgettable experiences.
When to Explore the Wonders of Mexico City
Timing your visit to Federal District can greatly enhance your experience. The best months to explore this vibrant area are from March to May, when the weather is pleasantly warm and the city is in full bloom. During this time, outdoor activities are particularly enjoyable, whether you're wandering through parks or indulging in street food at local markets. Additionally, the cultural calendar is packed with events, making it an ideal time for visitors to soak in the local atmosphere.
Another favorable time to visit is during the fall, particularly in October and November, when the city hosts various festivals, including the Day of the Dead celebrations. This period not only offers a chance to witness one of the most important cultural events in Mexico but also features milder temperatures, making it comfortable for sightseeing. Be mindful of the holiday season in December, as the city can get crowded with tourists and locals alike, but the festive decorations and celebrations are truly a sight to behold.
Essential Travel Tips for a Memorable Journey
Traveling in Federal District can be a rewarding experience, especially with a few handy tips in your pocket. First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the local customs and etiquette. Mexicans are known for their hospitality, so a warm greeting and a friendly smile can go a long way. When dining, it’s customary to say “buen provecho” to fellow diners, wishing them an enjoyable meal. Tipping is also appreciated; around 10-15% is standard in restaurants.
Safety is another important consideration while exploring the bustling streets of Mexico City. Stick to well-lit areas at night and avoid displaying valuable items openly. It’s advisable to use registered taxis or rideshare apps for transportation, especially after dark. Additionally, learning a few basic Spanish phrases can enhance your interactions with locals and enrich your travel experience. Simple greetings and expressions can help bridge the language gap and create a more immersive adventure.
