This converted ranch-style hotel is just a block from the zócalo, but hidden down an alley away from the noise, with a small terrace garden where you can admire the view of the hills. Large, basic rooms have extremely comfortable beds, and light-filled tiny bathrooms with luxury trimmings – heavy shower curtains and plush bath rugs. Most have kitchenettes. A steal at this budget.
