Mexico City Travel Forum

Hola,

I'll be visiting Mexico City June 15-22 and I'm looking for an affordable hotel close to Rio Sena, Zona Rosa area I guess. I would like to find a place for $50 or less for a single room, but few in that range seem to offer air conditioning (which is a must for me). Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Douglas

I lived in Mexico City for a year and never felt the need to have air conditioning. If you're looking for it mostly because you're going to "Mexico" and thus feel it'll be extremely hot, rest assured that Mexico City is a bit different. The high elevation tends to keep things in a comfortable 20 - 25 C most of the time.

I don't know of hotels in your price range that have air conditioning. Heat and/or air conditioning are exceptions to the rule in the city, in hotels or in apartments/homes.

I'm currently in Guadalajara, where it's been about 95 degrees every day but it "feels like" about 110 with the humidity according to the news. We haven't even felt the need to turn on our fans yet, as it cools down A LOT at night. I wouldn't worry at all about AC.

I hope you're right:) I'm originally from Sweden and very sensitive to heat and humidity, especially when trying to sleep.

Cheers,

Douglas

It never gets that hot in La Ciudad de Mexico!
