The Rioja is an incredibly cheap colonial hotel with an ideal location -in the hearth of Mexico City’s historical center. You’re at walking distance from the Zocalo, the Palacio de Bella Artes, the Diego Rivera Mural Museum, the Alameda Central Park and much more. The thirty some rooms are laid around the interior patio, the cheapest ones (under 25$) with no windows. I personally prefer the slightly more expensive rooms (25$ to 30$) with a balcony overlooking 5 de Mayo Avenue, even if it’s a little noisy at night and not mosquito-proof. With those rates, two can share a nice and extremely clean private room at the RIoja for less than staying at the Youth Hostel. In the hall, a computer with Internet access is available for a small fee but beware, equipment malfunction is common and don’t expect to get your money back.
Downsides:
-no WIFI in the rooms
-Service at the front desk varies from good to very poor, depending of the person attending (the lady IS rude).
The public computer with Internet access does not work well – no money back!
Global evaluation: Thumbs up!
