Hotel Escala Central del Norte

Traffic and public transport in Mexico City can be challenging, so I wanted a location close to the Northern Bus Station to be able to do some day trips north of the city. I also wanted to be close to the airport since I had a 6 am flight to catch. Also, since the hotel's location is walking distance from two or three different subway stations, and there is a direct bus route to Bellas Artes, it is easy to get to the center. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and super quiet overnight (it was facing the interior of the block, not the street). There was hot water with great pressure in the bathroom/shower. There was a big window I was able to open, with a territorial view towards the north. I felt completely safe walking around the neighborhood. This is a basic budget hotel providing an excellent value for the money.

The room is actually HUGE. It has absolutely everything you need including a solid area that functions as a desk, if you need to write. The specific room I stayed in did not have windows to the outside, so it felt a little bit like a motel room, BUT it was 100% clean, it is NOT a motel, and it is really decent. I understand that people may feel uneasy about the area, but the truth is that it is very safe to walk to and from Central de Autobuses Norte.

I liked that the hotel was central to many tourists attractions and central city. There where also many modes of transportation around and local shops in walking distance from the hotel.

Spacious and clean room. Good and reliable internet. Helpful staff. Good facilities: shampoo, soap, lotion, towels, 2 bottles of water.

Location was great, clean, bed and pillows very comfortable. Staff was amazing super friendly and attentive!!
