Ibis Mexico Alameda

We stayed here in August 2019. The hotel was fine for us, father and grown up son with two double beds on 9th floor. Wifi was fine and reliable. Quality is about that af a decent Premier Inn. It was clean, and the staff were friendly. You ask at reception for a TV remote, (there's a CNN channel and a couple of Fox movie channels in English, with all other channels in Spanish. We didn't have the breakfast (£6 each) because thare are nearby coffee shops, and there are (very closeby) 7-11 and OXO convenience stores. Of the two lifts, which require a room key card to operate one had a fault so wouldn't select floor 9, although you could call it from floor 9. They had engineers look at it but it remained unfixed when we left (7 day stay). there's a small lawned garden at the rear where we sat and enjoyed a cold beer. Bar facility closes at 10.30 pm The hotel looked after our luggage on our last day after we checked out as we wanted to be free of bags until our night flight home. The hotel is next to a Metro station aand the Metrobus stops are close by. Use the Uber app for taxis they are cheap and reliable in Mexico City, some of our journeys were £2. (50 pesos, written as $50 as the Americans adopted the $ sign from the peso sign). Theres a couple of computers on the internet near the lifts, but we just used our phones and an ipad on the wifi which was fine. The location we found to be very good, plenty to see and do, especially with the public transport links so close. All journeys of any length are 6 pesos, at 27 pesos to a pound that's cheap. We got a metro card each but it is fine to buy one and share it as they don't count you out like they do in London, as the 6 pesos fee is regardless of journey length. We also found plenty of veggie and vegan places to eat. There's plenty of street food outside the hotel, but we didn't try it, Use the Happy Cow app.

For the price and good location, nothing else was needed. The Hilton Hotel Mexico City is just round the corner if you are not budget conscious.
