Every now and then a property earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Amazonas, in Mexico City, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's a short ride from the main sights, and the fair location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Expect modest rooms with an in-house restaurant, reliable wi-fi and on-site parking, practical details that keep showing up in uneven comfort feedback. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 1,300 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €21 a night, which lands as a strong-value option for the city. All told, Hotel Amazonas reads as one of those Mexico City addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
