Hotel Castropol (Mexico City, Mexico)

You will be very close to the city centre with many places of interest and good places to eat within easy walking distance. Guests feel that the area is nice and safe, and they like that if they want to explore further afield they are ideally located to access the metro.

You will find that the rooms are a good size and spotlessly clean. They are kept nice and clean by the housekeeping staff who will replace bed linens and towels during your stay.

Although only a few of the staff are able to speak more than a limited amount of English, guests say that they are friendly and go out of their way to try and help. They are happy to accommodate special requests where they can.

Rooms do not include air-conditioning, although fans are available from reception on request. It can get hot and stuffy here - it is Mexico, after all! - so if you think you will struggle in the heat, this hotel may not be the most sensible choice for you.

You may find that you cannot get the Wi-Fi signal in your room at all or that when you do it is a weak service. If staying connected is important to you while you are on your travels, you might want to bear this in mind.

Some guests have found that rooms facing the main street are noisy, particularly on a night. Walls are also thin, and noise has been reportedly heard coming from the hallways of the hotel on a night.
