Hotels near Miguel Lerdo de Tejada Library in Mexico City

Our room was a bit like a simple room but the bed was nice, clean, wireless network, all work. The staff was very helpful. The street was noisy. The subway was very close, the city center and many places to eat, and some nice pedestrian streets were also very close

The Novotel Mexico City Centro Histórico is a new hotel. Its newness shows in any number of ways, both good and bad. First the good: Staff were all friendly. And my room was shiny new and free of signs of wear. Everything in the room worked perfectly. It is true that the room was rather small and that the view was mostly of a blank wall. Since I was by myself and did not spend much time in the room during the day, these latter issues didn’t bother me very much. There were, however, some issues that were also perhaps related to the hotel’s newness. The cleaning staff didn’t empty the wastebasket on the first day and didn’t replenish the Nespresso pods on the second. Perhaps they should start working from a checklist … ? Also, breakfast was only available half an hour later than advertised. And, oddly, only certain guests were offered omelettes. And, as someone who doesn’t eat meat, I was bothered by a cheese-and-luncheon-meat plate on which the cheese and luncheon meat were piled on top of each other. I would also have appreciated labels on the four stew-like dishes on offer—I couldn’t tell what they contained. There is also the issue of billing. When I checked in at 3 p.m., I was asked to pay the entire bill—no problem there. But, when I arrived in my room, I found an e-mail from hotel management informing me that, because the hotel was extra busy, I’d already been charged for day 1. It’s true that I’d opted for a “flexible” rate which required me to agree to pay for the first day whether I showed up or not, but it was a little startling to be charged for a no-show before the earliest possible check-in time—and then charged again when I checked in. It took a week for the double charge to disappear from my credit-card statement. I can’t believe Accor would have approved of this billing procedure. The thing that most bothered me about the hotel was the absence of a minibar. The TripAdvisor website—and also the websites of several booking agencies—all claim that rooms in the Novotel Mexico City Centro Histórico have minibars. The Accor website, I’ll admit, doesn’t. But I guess I’ve come to expect that hotels of a certain class would have minibars. And I missed having one, not for overpriced drinks, but for the groceries I bought. I wasn’t, in other words, very enthusiastic about the Novotel Mexico City Centro Histórico, although I acknowledge that, with a few changes, it could most definitely be turned into a very good hotel.

Very clean hostel and great facilities. Most evenings there’s events at the hostel like karaoke or movie nights. Or if that’s not for you there’s loads of great bars and clubs nearby. The hostel provides free tours around the city. Jair took my group on a cycling tour and a trip via the subway to Coyacan. He speaks great English, knows everything about the city and is fun to have a joke with. Deserves all the tips.

Why come to Mexico City and stay in an anonymous 'European/American' hotel? The architecture, space (super high ceilings), colours (orange and blue), the large bedrooms with only shower - these are truly Mexican (baths are not traditional in Mexico). Super clean. Mexico has been great during the pandemic in 2021, enforcing mask-wearing, use of shoe-disinfectant and hand-gel, and this is the same all over the country, not just in this hotel. Everyone is also incredibly polite about it. Frankly, I find this reassuring. Staff extremely helpful, even though I have no Spanish. They offered me a choice of quiet rooms overlooking the courtyard or noisier rooms overlooking the street, there is a locked storeroom for luggage, a safe in each room. For this price I would have given the hotel a five but there is (as of January 2022) an issue with the short hours worked by the restaurant. This is, of course, temporary, since tourism has been down - and because as soon as someone gets covid they have to stay home, so they are short-staffed. But with so many different cafes and restaurants nearby this is no problem. Definitely stay here again when I come back to Mexico City.

Excellent location for shopping. Good attention, it has its own parking lot shared with a public one. Just one detail: a lot of noise from guests entering and leaving. I don't know if it's a lot of echo in the corridors or that the administration asks the guests to be quiet, but they don't let them sleep.

We stayed at this hotel and it was our first time in Mexico City. It felt safe and secure since guests need to use their key to be allowed into the lobby. It’s conveniently located to most of the places we wanted to visit. At night time, it’s quiet, at least, we didn’t hear noise in our room. The breakfast was really good as well. The staff are all very friendly and greet everyone. There’s a cafe and seafood restaurant attached to the hotel. The bathrooms do not have a lot of space, almost like closet size. For the price and the location where it’s situated, it was worth the price and definitely will stay again.

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

The rooms and facilities are a bit old, the ventilation is not very good, but close to the attractions, you can go to many places on foot. There are also a lot of shopping around. If you don't mind having a taste, you can consider it.
