Need a pillow, a clean sheet, take a nice shower, feel safe, get off the street, this has to be the place. You can carry your own bags, mingle with some back packing Americans and Europeans and see downtown Mexico.

I spent a week at this hotel two years ago. It would be hard to find a better location for exploring the city, interesting stores, restaurants, and museums, and getting to the metro and taxis. I have to give it five stars for convenience and value. It is a typical Mexican business class hotel...clean, functional, flat screen tv and modern... More

Hotel Marlowe is conveniently located one block from the Alameda Central Jardin and nine blocks from the main Zocalo. The front desk staff was friendly and courteous. The room was clean with a very nice bathroom. Internet connectivity was good and there was a new flat screen TV. The hotel had a purified drinking water tap in the bathroom. The... More

My wife and I stayed in this hotel as a recommendation from a Mexican friend. It is located very close to the Palacio de Bellas Artes and a couple of metro stations. The neighborhood is not fancy at all, in fact, it's a little scary at night with some bumps and trash in the streets but at least, I never... More

We were recommended this hotel by a travel agent who said that it was strategically placed and a safe starting place for our trip. Let's just say that we arrived at night starving and so we ventured out in this allegedly well-lit and populated area. If you consider homeless drunks population and dark streets fitting of this description, then it... More

The rooms are small but clean and a bit worn. My window faced a wall, which was probably good in that it limited noise. Many reviewers reported that the staff is unfriendly. Not my experience, but indifferent certainly. If you need to save $ it is acceptable and the location is good for the historic center, but street where the... More

Stayed one week in this hotel. Reception staff has no interest whatsoever in catering to the guest. In fact, they seem annoyed if you approach the reception desk. Room cleaning needs much improvement vis-a-vis promptness. Twice we had to wait at 4 pm for the room to be cleaned. Restaurant staff is pretty much clueless about waiting tables and is... More

We stayed at the Marlowe in 2009 and it was great; this time it was also very good. The location is superb, the staff always helpful and the rooms clean, comfortable and quiet.Highly recommended. And yes, the shower was fabulous- it even had a good view!

The hotel is located centrally, near Almeda Central, Mexico City's historic center with Zocalo, and the modern area of Reforma. The rest of the city is easily accessible via Metro (Hidalgo is one of the convenient stations). The hotel was fine, the room clean and the service as expected. The inner yard view from the window (room 301) was not... More
