Well a great find 2 min walk from the Zocalo, city centre shopping etc. Very safe and comfortable, very basic hotel, no frills safe and secure and great value for around $20 a night.

Although I did not stay at Monte Carlo on this trip, I took advantage of being downtown to revisit and see how it had held up since my last stay about 15 years ago (21 nights). It was remarkably unchanged. The hotel is superbly priced and strategically located for travelors more interested in budget and history than in prestige and... More

In 20 years, I have stayed here 4 times. I am still loyal to the Monte Carlo but must admit that it needs some help. During my first 3 visits, the interior was verdant with palms, calla lilies and other plants. Now, the few palms left need a friend with a green thumb. This last time, I got a room... More

simple, clean, nice, for not too long stay, rooms in Art Nouveau style

Beautiful old building -- mid-1800s hotel? Built for horse and carriages. Some auto parking. 5 quick blocks south of the Zocalo. Safe neighborhood, in my 30 years experience. I've been to Mexico 50 times since 1979, stayed at the Monte Carlo 1-2 nights roughly once or twice most years. It makes a fine pied a terre in Mexico City, to... More

Well it's a beautiful building with friendly, helpful staff and in a great location BUT.... I stayed there for 2 nights and was bitten, whether by bed bugs or mosquitos I don't know, but it was bad enough to make me very itchy and uncomfortable and I moved on.... To be honest, I think it was bedbugs; the sheets and... More

Excellent location, variety of rooms with and without bath, responsible management (a plastic bag of personal items I left was there for me when I came back), ample hotwater, storage room for luggage while you travel elsewhere--but yes, I brought bedbugs back to my house once after staying there and had one bite another time so will probably not go...

I just returned from a two week trip to Mexico and stayed in the Hotel Monte Carlo coming and going and have stayed there several times in the past. This time, in Room 116, which is really the second floor, has four double beds, the bed bugs attacked me! I looked like I had the measles on inside both arms,... More

As a flight attendant I travel the world for a living. I spend several weeks here every year since 1998. Request a room with a small balcony with a door that opens over the Avenue( Rep. de Uruguay). the owner is usually very friendly and helpful. This hotel is very basic, some have tv's others not. It is usually well-kept,... More
