Map & live prices by our partner
Budget hotels in Mexico City are mostly 3-star properties, but the category is split between ultra-cheap, central dives and well-rated, comfortable stays. The lowest rates hover around MXN 221 at Selina Mexico City Downtown in the Historic Center, while the most practical options—like the Hampton Inn & Suites or City Express hotels—often include breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and shuttle services for a bit more. The best value is often found in the Historic Center and near the airport, where you get clean rooms and prime locations for under MXN 600.
You can find basic rooms from around MXN 221 per night, but the typical price for a decent budget hotel is about MXN 630. Many well-rated options cost between MXN 400 and MXN 750, especially in the Historic Center and near the airport.
The Historic Center offers the most budget options, with many hotels near the Zócalo and metro stations. For a quieter, more trendy vibe, Condesa and Roma have a few affordable picks, but prices are often higher. If you have an early flight, the airport area has several cheap hotels with shuttles.
The Historic Center is busy until late, especially around the Zócalo and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Many budget hotels are on main avenues with 24-hour reception, like Hotel Diligencias near Plaza Garibaldi. Stick to well-lit streets and you'll be fine, but it's always wise to take a taxi or Uber after dark.
Yes, some do. Hotel Amazonas and Hotel Palace Mexico advertise free parking, which is rare downtown. If you're driving, look for hotels on the outskirts or near the airport, like Hotel Aeropuerto, which also offers free parking.
Many budget hotels near the airport provide a free shuttle, including City Express By Marriott and Holiday Inn Dali. If you're staying downtown, take the Metro from Terminal Aérea to the Zócalo or take a metered taxi. The journey takes about 20 minutes without traffic.
Mexico City is a sprawling capital where a budget hotel can mean a colonial gem steps from the Zócalo, a functional base by the airport, or a stylish pad in Condesa. The cheapest stays here sit around MXN 221 a night, and you can still find well-rated, reliable properties for under MXN 500. Many of these budget hotels cluster around the Historic Center, near metro stations and main plazas, while others offer quiet corners in Roma, Polanco, or the university district.
What you get for your money varies widely. At the low end, expect no-frills rooms with free Wi-Fi and basic amenities. Spend a bit more—around MXN 630, the typical price—and you might find a comfortable 3-star with breakfast, a prime location, or even airport shuttle service. The set includes mostly 3-star hotels, with a few exceptions like a beer-themed hostel and an adults-only option. If you're looking for a simple, clean place to sleep that leaves your budget intact for tacos and museums, this is where to start.
This set is perfect for travellers who want a clean, affordable base in Mexico City without wasting money on frills. It suits backpackers, city-breakers, and anyone who plans to spend most of the day exploring. If you need more comfort or specific amenities, consider the city's 4-star or business hotels instead, or look at options with parking or airport shuttles. For families, the family-friendly hotels in Mexico City offer more space and child-focused services.
