Hostería de Xicohténcatl

East of Mexico City


Half of the 16 rooms at this straightforward budget hostería are large, multiroom suites with kitchens, making it a bargain for families, groups or those in town for an extended stay. The hostería is clean, if a bit sterile, and the location – right on Plaza Xicohténcatl – is excellent. Avoid rooms with balconies if you are noise-sensitive.
