Hampton Inn Centro Histórico

fyi for light sleepers the rooms are not sound proof at all you can hear everything outside your door, you can probably blame it on the fact that it used to be a convent, nuns didn’t really need their privacy.
but at least your spiritually safe sleeping here!
4-​stars for the location & concierge for making our trip!
the location is super close to the zocalo & tourist attractions in that area, a great bakery (pasteleria madrid & pasteleria ideal) & a pharmacy.
the concierge coordinated our rides and the following activities:
— pyramid of the moon & sun/​virgin de guadalupe tour
— luche libre tour (tuesday/​friday & sunday only)
— mariachi restaurant in one of the popular squares, i think it was called girarbaldi square
and recommended two rooftop eateries that we loved (la mayor & the restaurant in grand hotel) and made our trip.
i felt very safe here and would recommend this hotel, i didn’t have the best sleep but i think everything else made up for it.

Great location, beautiful building. The basic rooms are on the small side, but appointed very comfortably, and if you’re staying here in the touristy part of town, you’re probably out touristing all day anyway!
The rooftop deck is a lovely spot, might make a good bar, but as is it is a great, relatively quiet place to relax and unwind.
Bilingual and extremely helpful staff! An example: I asked one of the clerks where I should go to buy a metro card, he didn’t know but rather than shrug it off he took out his wallet and offered me his own card! (He said it was empty of value and would only accept $ 10 for it, but I got a couple more rides out of it than I should have — thanks again!)

Bonito hotel de la cadena Hilton ubicado en el centro histórico de la Ciudad de México, a escasos metros del Zócalo capitalino. El edificio está muy bien conservado y guarda un encanto especial; las habitaciones son cómodas y agradables, los colchones te asegurarán un descanso celestial. Como en todos los hoteles de esta cadena hay 24 h de café e infusiones de cortesía. El desayuno, tipo buffet, cuenta con fruta, waffles, huevo revuelto, yogurt, cereales, tostadas, bolleria, chilaquiles… Para empezar con fuerza el día!

First night here. The parking for a rental car or family dropping you off is ridiculous due having to unpack in the middle of the road while the transit police Hassel you to move or they will boot the vehicle. But other than that the front desk clerk Alex and Gabriela allowed us to put away some important documents in the managers personal space. Only size enough for a notebook. Very easy check in and so far great clean room with nice ac and strong water pressure from shower. Free coffe 24 7 and breakfast at 6am til 10am. Very clean room!

This hotel was a definite disappointment for The Hilton chain of hotels. First of all their WiFi is very spotty and took almost and hour to connect with my iPad and could’ve never connect with my phone. Also the staff here is very snooty and when we requested face towels because there were none the simply said everything you need is on the bathroom already. Also the décor and floors ate out dated and dirty. To top it off tired location is near nothing traditional about Monterrey so we will be canceling the next few days and going back to the iStay hotel, which is very modern and is centrally located to everything in the traditional district.

Loved the location as everything I wanted to see and do were either withing walking distance or transportation was close by.
The entire staff was extraordinary as every request was handled rapido! Special people include Alejandro and Edgar as they went over and above to assist me with the language and directions/​maps and dinero! Housekeeping led by Victor who set my room up most nights were so very nice. Staff always had a smile and were constantly asking how and if they could help, especially the lady that I usually saw in the breakfast area.
I felt extremely safe at the Hampton Inn as security people were around constantly watching the activity on the street.
Excellent food at Fisher’s downstairs and at the bakery almost directly across the street.
In a week, I only scratched the sites I wish to see so I definitely will be back in the Inn as I cannot imagine there being a better place for the price.
6 Stars is more appropriate but 5 will have to do!

Great service and food, I would definitely stay here again, I like the little snack in the room and their breakfast was really good, Staff spoke English for the most part and was really good at giving directions. Evening printed it out for us.

The hotels was a pleasant surprise.
It’s really clean and well organized hotel. They have a medium size lobby area that doubles for a place to eat your complementary breakfast and coffee (or tea).
The front desk staff were more than pleasant and helpful. It’s a good idea to check with them first, before going to any sights. They are fully connected with drivers/​tax cabs and places to eat.
The hotels is located, in the perfect location, close enough to the action but yet far enough away. Really close to Zocalo, churches etc…
Free WIFI (most of the time Coffee and Tea) are available ²⁴⁄₇. This was a great deal since most hotel’s are charging for WIFI theses days.
The room also has a safe, that locks/​unlocks by using your credit card, this works out good for your travel documents.

I was really pleased with my recent stay here. The location is great — just a couple of blocks away from many of the tourist sites (Zocalo, etc.) and also close to the Metro.
It’s a beautiful building from the outside and they did a good job with the renovations on the inside.
The staff was very helpful and friendly and I never had a problem with finding someone who could help me in English. (I did try my Spanish a few times and they were totally nice with my attempts.) I also appreciated that when you asked for a cab, they actually have some private drivers that will take you where you need to be for the same price.
If you’re used to Hamptons in the U.S., then you’ll be happy that they offer free breakfast (continental but with additional Mexican breakfast staples like pan dulce and frijoles and tortillas), along with free Wi-​Fi. They also provide free bottled water in your room. There’s also free washers and dryers for your use.
There are two restaurants on site — I did eat at the café because I flew in fairly late and most businesses in the immediate area close by 10pm. The prices were fine but I would definitely venture out as opposed to eating there for better experiences.
Really the only downside is the aforementioned lack of places open in the immediate area in the late evening, but you are only a couple of blocks away from places that are open later, so this should not deter you from staying here.
I definitely would stay here again — to top off my great experience, I used Hilton points for this stay and it was a steal. Only 10,000 points a night. Practically free, really!

Este hotelito es uno de los grandes encantos del Centro Histórico, no es el Gran Hotel de la Ciudad de México, pero la verdad es que tampoco le pide mucho, de hecho, éste me parece mucho más acogedor. Se encuentra dentro de un viejo edificio de influencia neocolonial maravillosamente restaurado, haciéndolo ver, incluso, moderno. Un pequeño pasillo lleva a la recepción que se encuentra en una especie de patio interior desde el cual se admira un hermoso vitral en el techo. Ahí es justamente donde empieza el encanto, pues el trato de los recepcionistas es sumamente amable, es más, te transmiten la sensación de que auténticamente están preocupados (y ocupados) por las necesidades del huésped.
Las habitaciones son amplias, MUY cómodas, y cuentan con los aditamentos necesarios para hacer de su estancia algo entrañable. Yo les recomiendo que busquen tarifas especiales por internet y que escojan un cuarto con balcón, eso hará la diferencia y no volverán a ver el Centro Histórico con los mismos ojos, créanme.
Los precios no son bajos, pero vale mucho la pena la experiencia, además, hay que tomar en cuenta que las tarifas incluyen el desayuno, que es bastante rico, así que si quieren pasar una noche deliciosa en un lugar diferente, ésta es la opción.

Me acuerdo cuando inauguraron este hotel. Fue una buena noticia porque la cadena Hilton, junto con el gobierno del Distrito Federal, arregló el edificio sin dañar o cambiar su estilo arquitectónico. El vitral en el techo es sorprendente y el elevador es uno de los más viejos de la ciudad.
Era la Casa San Agustín, un monasterio de los agustinos. Fue remodelado varias veces el siglo pasado, pero después del terremoto de 1985, quedó deshabitado (era otro hotel).
Es una buena opción para los turistas, pues está en el Centro Histórico y pueden caminar a diferentes atracciones, como a la Catedral y hasta la Alameda. Es más, el metrobús que va al aeropuerto queda muy cerca. Además, esta línea de hoteles es la accesible de Hilton.
En planta baja, hay un Fisher’s y Garabatos, por si andas por ahí.
