Hotel Del Angel, Cuauhtemoc

if you want a simple, clean, cheap hotel with a good location-this is the place...don't expect anything else though, be prepared to spend you time outside the hotel since it doesn't offer anything but a place to rest

Pros: Inexpensive, good,convenient location, clean towels, attentive staff. Cons: no airconditioning and poor ventilation, carpet is filthy, our bathroom floor would flood when we showered, hotel is old and in need of remodeling. **Hotel pictures are deceiving. It's not as nice as it appears to be. The tour purchased through the hotel was a great deal - The Pyramids and the Basilica of Guadalupe is a must see! Highlights of our vacation. Tour guide will end the trip with a stop for lunch at an overpriced restuarant (most restuarants were overpriced and charged "cleaning or entertainment fees). The bar at the corner, La Cantina de los Remedios, was cool - good prices & good food. No hidden charges. Enjoy!

The staff was friendly. Rooms were clean. Great location, close to many things. It was great to have a safe in the room. Our room wasn't air conditioned though, in fact, the room was pretty hot. We did have a fan and there's a little window that you can open. But if you're a person who likes a cold room, you may want to reconsider.

My family and I just returned from a great vacation trip to Mexico City. Hotel del Angel is nicely located a couple of blocks from the "Angel de la Independencia" monument, next to Zona Rosa, and surrounded by good restaurants and bars. Although the hotel is a little dated and dilapidated, the rooms are clean and the hotel personnel are courteous and helpful. During our visit, the A/C system was not working, which wasn't a major problem for us, since the outside temperature was around 70*F in late March, but this may be an issue during the summer months. Major remodeling is already underway on one floor, with the other 10 floors soon to be remodeled. Trust me: this bargain won't last.

This hotel has a very friendly and helpful staff. It is very clean. The location is perfect. It is a short walk to the restaurants of the Zona Rosa, but far enough away so that the seedy and unpleasant aspects of that area will not affect you. Across the street from the there are two money exchange places that give very good rates, and right in front of the hotel there is a taxi stand, so that you can get a SAFE cab to take you where you want to go at a fair price. Or, if you care to, it is a 10-minute walk from the hotel through the Zona Rosa to take the Metro (though not during rush hour!). I will certainly go back there again.

The staff was real helpful, they speak english @ the front counter. Don't exchange money there, their exchange rate is 10 pesos for a dollar. Around the corner is a HSBC Bank that exchanges @ 10.60 depending on the market. It is a safe location, I walked the streets at weird hours of the morning and had no problem. Do not order tours to see the Pyramids on websites that offer supposably great deals. The Hotel has a guy that runs a business giving tours, he is alot cheaper, and speaks english. I believe I paid $25.00 (USD) He takes you to a few places before seeing the pyramids. If you go on the tours and see the museum where they carve the stones and show you the souveneir shop. Do not be fooled by their 10% off because you were a good listener or whatever sales pitch they throw at you. When you walk by the Pyramids there are indians that will sell you the same exact stuff at a fraction of the price. I believe the Hotel lets you take guest to your room. Also if you are going to go out to a Club on Saturday Night I highly reccomend a club called "ROOTS" be dressed to impress, because they are strict but alot of hot women! Go early to get a table because this place gets packed and has one of the best lighting and sound systems I have ever seen! It is a huge place. Go out and enjoy MEXICO CITY! I did, this Hotel was perfect for me...... But do keep in mind that this is an older hotel, but you are not going to be there, only to sleep. I shopped around even in Mexico City going directly to the hotels in Mexico and I admit Yahoo has the cheapest deals for hotels, just an FYI.

But there are few problems in the hotel, the A/C works at same temperature in all rooms. what about those who like a little bit cold or the opposite.
One of the elevatores wasn't work and it was the one goes to the parking lot wich by the way has the capacity of 6 o 7 cars only!
We did'nt have cable beacuse the administration hadn't pay the bill...but the view is the only thing that I enjoy a lot!
