Hotel Catedral

Frommer's Review

This bargain hotel enjoys a stellar location 1 block north of Calle Tacuba on tree-shaded Calle Donceles, half a block from the Templo Mayor, and a block from the Museo San Ildefonso. Guest rooms have purified drinking water from a special tap, over-bed reading lights, and TVs with U.S. cable channels. Some have tub/shower combinations, and others have whirlpool tubs. The furnishings are dated, however. Rooms on the upper floors afford views of the cathedral. On the seventh floor, a terrace with small tables and chairs offers great views. Because of heavily trafficked streets surround the hotel, add 45 minutes to your departure time if you leave for the airport from here. In front of the big, marble-embellished lobby lies the bustling restaurant. The cozy bar beyond the reception desk also serves food. Ask for a top-floor room with a view. Breakfast costs $10 (£5) extra for a double room.
