Hotels Near Plaza Izazaga 151 in Mexico City

Cheap and clean. No frills. Sometimes noisy. Recommend for those that like a firm bed and sleep heavily.

I was excited about this place as I really didn’t want my family to stay at another Western cliche chain hotel that Mexico City is abundant in. In hindsight, I wish I had opted for the latter as … well, you know what to expect and, if need be, what to do to get your way. I had booked Hotel Flamencos for two stays, before and after our travel outside of Mexico City. The second stay was cancelled by me. Below are the reasons why.  A short summary of my trouble here: --I booked my room 6 months in advance (using a third party site) and communicated to the hotel directly about my expectations. All was almost overbearingly sweet, with promises of ”accommodation” showered all over. TO EMPHASIZE: I HAD ASKED TO LOOK INTO MY CONCRETE RESERVATION AND CONFIRM THAT MY TWO KIDS WOULD BE ACCOMMODATED. The answer? We confirm!  -- All niceness ended upon arrival at the hotel as, instead of a welcome, the front desk person extended a message of additional charges for my son, who is 14. Instantly, ALL this hotel was about was getting their additional 350 pesos (USD18) per night for my child. Me showing my  communication with the hotel didn't do a thing. Fine. Whatever! - It only got worse from there as ”the only room available” turned out to be A ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, they have those at this place on each floor, so, in case you are considering this place, please know that your room is ”based on availability.” As I threatened to LEAVE, they somehow FOUND the right type of room (granted, we showed up shortly after noon, so they did give us a courtesy of an early check-in). Thank you!  - The location of the hotel is TERRIBLE: flee markets, warehouses, LOADS of traffic, HUGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE queuing up for busses or just packing the area are  truly not very enjoyable. Aside from street food, which you may not be able to get easily (because of A LOT OF PEOPLE), no decent places to eat around. Hands down, there are MUCH better areas! - I killed 4 mosquitos in my room. Apparently, there is a way for them to get into your room through the bathroom. The stench from the kitchen downstairs gets into your room the same way, too. -- The breakfast is basic and easy to get tired of. The breakfast area is small. A few other details: - Amidst my check-in debacle, I asked to speak with a manager. Unsurprisingly, that person ”had a day off” (of course! :)). And it was the same guy who handled check in who continued replying to my emails, obviously rejoicing in the opportunity to practice English, rather than put the situation right. -- The manager was not to be found the next day, either. Nobody, aside from the front desk dude, ever reached out to me. I mean... I had requested a conversation with somebody who runs this place. Hellllooooo?  -- By day 3, an envelope was found in our room, reminding us of the need to t

This lovely gem is right in the heart of the city! The interior hallways are sleek and modern while homage to a historic past. The building is a former law office and the interior is a classic courtyard presentation. The restaurants and bar are on the roof top, which is the 5th floor. My room was on the street side and I got an upgrade due to my Hilton status, so I had this huge suite on the 4th floor with incredible views of the interior when I opened my door. The bathroom was roomy and spacious. The shower was huge with both a hand held and a shower rainfall option. I had dual sinks and the lotion and other amenities were very nice. The bed was comfy, the windows could open and there were many lighting options. There was bedside lighting, overhead lighting and more. It was quite amazing! The bedroom was all white and quite bright. My ”living room” was dark, but had so many additional lighting options, plus the record player, TV, and the bright window for when the curtains were open. The sliding door between the 2 rooms was perfect. And, I had not only a desk with hand sanitizer, but also a small dining table with 2 chairs in my ”living room”. It was a heavenly stay. Now, the pool was tiny, but the hot tub was lovely and the cocktails were nice! Breakfast at Oliva was included for me and was delicious. The other restaurant on the rooftop, Paixa Do was also quite amazing. Creative food and a gorgeous view with excellent service and a great wine selection. What else? The front desk staff and bellmen were lovely. The concierge was a little odd to me, so I ignored him after the first day. It was easy to take an Uber from my hotel and the Uber was very cheap in US $. Within walking distance were a few Sanbornes, a money exchange place, and some nice restaurants. I totally would return here again. It was my fifth trip to Mexico City in the last 15-20 years and I've stayed only in 1 other place twice. Again, this is a fantastic place to stay...I almost forgot to mention the private movie theater upstairs, the art gallery and the records (vinyl LPs) that one could take and play on bluetooth speakers in your room! What a treat!

While this hotel was aesthetically pleasing and in a good location for relatively easy access to many tourist spots, the amenities, service, and operation was absolutely horrible! The language barrier was also very challenging and one would think for this to be such a hot spot that they would have staff fluent in English for tourists. I was told that the hotel had english-speaking concierge that would be able to guide me with questions on transportation, etc. and that was not the case. Day 1: - Language barrier made check-in unnecessarily challenging - Language barrier made the ability to assist us with our desired tours impossible, thankfully we had a backup plan and had gathered information for ourselves - Bikes as advertised were not available AT ALL, at no time during our stay and per guests that had arrived a week prior the bikes had not been available (out for repairs & unavailable the entire stay)...this was the method of transportation we had planned on using AND had supposedly reserved for the afternoon of our arrival, thus causing us to have to change plans - My 1st evening in the room the air conditioning was not working and my room was SCORCHING! I was calling every 1 - 1.5 hrs asking for assistance, and even though they are able to control it remotely they could not get it working....I was only able to rest approx. 3 hrs and woke up congested and with a migraine. The young woman at the front desk did everything that she could to communicate the issue and actually did apologize that I was ill, however was not successful in her attempts to reach 'The Manager' as she said that 'the manager' would not return calls made in attempt to speak with me - this ultimately made me late for our tour/lunch reservation due to attempts to handle the situation. Upon return for the afternoon I was told that the A/C was fixed. Upon arriving in the room I found it to be freezing cold and attempted to turn the unit off, the front desk staff KEPT turning it back on, even after attempts to help them understand that the temperature was still not being controlled within the room, thus I was probably able to get 4-5 hrs of sleep and my cold/congestion got worse.....and they said there was no room available to move me to All that said, I have my complaint into the booking agency and hotel corp office, but am writing this review to warn anyone contemplating their stay at City Centro Ciudad de Mexico

We were booked in this hotel by our airline after a very long, hard day. We hadn't eaten since breakfast and had a terribly stressful day of standing for hours and hours in the chaos of the airport during a covid crisis. We thought a ”Hotel Ritz” near the zocolo would offer a nice respite with a good meal before heading back to a rebooked flight in the early morning. But, alas, it was not to be. The staff who greeted us were very nice and professional. But our room was down a long, stark hallway and despite being in an old, historic building, there was zero character inside. The room was functional, though the shower was only lukewarm. When we went to the restaurant, which had all of the charm of a school cafeteria, and gave them our voucher for $600 pesos, they gave us a worn printout with a small selection of meals, then told us only 4 options were available. None were anything we would choose. We had planned to buy drinks with dinner, but they made us sign a receipt saying we had spent all $600 pesos ($30 U.S.) before even serving our food, which would have maybe cost $300 p. tops off a real menu. I ate part of a rubbery piece of chicken with a small wilted salad and my husband had a sandwich on white bread. Afterward, we walked somewhere else for food and drinks, which we should have done to begin with. We passed one other family eating in the hotel and noticed they had McDonalds take-out. Later, we checked their regular menu, which had many options that would have fit easily into the $600p budget. The treatment felt insulting. We had been given taxi vouchers to and from the hotel as well. At reception, we requested they schedule our morning taxi, which they assured us they would do. I got up early to double check with the morning reception that it had been scheduled, and they said yes - it was on its way. The hotel is on a section of street that is pedestrian-only, so we walked our luggage to the nearest spot for auto traffic and waited. The taxi never came. Finally, my husband went back to the hotel to ask for help and was told to call an Uber. It was clear that they had not called the taxi for us, and we lost almost an hour of time getting to the airport because of it. Oh yes, and the elevator buttons do not work. And the walls are extremely thin. Someone had sick kids nearby and the screaming and coughing echoed loudly through the halls all night. We could hear every flush and every conversation in that corridor. Most MX hotels have solid brick and stucco walls that block sound, but not this one. The Centro area is wonderful, and worth staying in for a night or two, but I recommend the Best Western Hotel Majestic. We stayed in a suite there at the beginning of our trip and our giant room was beautiful, overlooking the zocolo and the staff were great. The rate was good, too. If you have more time in CDMX, Coyoacan is my favorite neighborhood for lodging, but it's nice to spend some time in the centro. I also want to mention that we ha

The location of the hotel is very good, on Reform Avenue, which is very convenient from anywhere, but the hotel facilities are relatively average and old. The price is reasonable, and the business trip is mainly for the convenience of travel

The room is large and very clean. The only drawback is that the sound insulation is a bit poor. People in the corridor speak very loudly, but I can hear it clearly in the room.
