Tezontepec de Aldama Vacations from $377

Location, it is not the best, kind of scary when you arrive

Clean room, very helpful staff (they speak English), and it’s located in the heart of center, 5 minutes away from Pino Suárez station (many great tiendas!) and 10 minutes from the Cathedral. It’s really convenient to travel - you would want to stay here if you want to linger around historical center. Only downside is that you only get your bed as personal space which makes sense considering its price. It’s absolutely safe for solo travelers though and I see many women staying too.

Casa Decu was EXCEPTIONAL!! We loved our stay! The staff was friendly, the building is beautiful! You can see the pride they've taken into their hotel on every detail. The room was perfect, very comfortable, clean and quiet. Shower was great too! We've notice that in Mexico many places have issues with the shower water pressure and mold, not Casa Decu! They have a terrace that serves delicious breakfast and it's very cosy! 2 things to know in case they're important to you: no elevator, no A/C but they have a fan in the room and the staff will help you with your luggage up the stairs.

There are several minor things that add up to make the stay average at best. 1. the bedroom has a wonderful view and 4 large windows, but none of the blackouts cover 100% of the window, so all the sunlight comes in making the room very bright, even at night because of the streetlights. 2. the sofa looked very nice at a glance, but when I sat down, I realized it was broken, so you sit at an angle. on top of that they placed a cloth to cover it like a decoration, but it's actually hiding all the stains on the sofa. 3. finally, in the morning i was making a cup of coffee and realized all the mugs had either lipstick or coffee stains, meaning they were not properly washed.

Check-in was fast and easy as it literally took under 5 minutes. Apartment was very clean upon our arrival. Staff cleaned our room on 4th day as we traveled for a week. Management is easily accessible via email or WhatsApp. Highly recommend.
