Guestrooms

Hotel Fontan Ciudad De Mexico guestrooms offer TVs with cable, hair dryers, and wireless Internet access at a surcharge.

This smart little hotel is located close to many important sites and points of interest. The staff are friendly and the rooms are basic yet clean and tidy. I am including this as a budget/mid price range hotel as i feel it may meet the needs of a low budget traveler not wishing to stay in a hostel and share a dormitory and also the hotel offers a good alternative for travelers on a mid budget that would rather spend thier money on seeing the city. The hotel has no luxuries but serves its purpose well. Its a place to sleep after trecking the city streets. I have stayed here once with some friends after a party, not wanting to return home and wake the house at 4am and it really isnt all that bad.
