Hotel Royal Reforma
Amberes 78, Mexico City, Quintana Roo, 06600, Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico
Why We Like It
Perfect location at a good price, and a rooftop pool.
Fodor's Expert Review
With the perfect location at the intersection of Insurgentes and Chapultepec avenues, this once-fancy hotel has settled into being a solid, well-priced mid-range hotel. The immaculate marble lobby is filled with plants and the exuberant conversation of its guests. Mostly-spacious rooms have large bathrooms and well-equipped work areas.
You Should Know The hotel was known for its acclaimed restaurant Tezka, which recently closed.

Room
Some rooms have been updated but most are in need; ask to see the room before checking in. Even the mattress and blanket qualities differ among rooms.
Tip There is one 2-story, 1000-sq. ft. master suite, often available at a good price for its size.
Bathroom
Dated but clean.
Lobby
Spacious, gleaming, and modern with marble and glass; a bit of a disconnect with the dated rooms.
Pool
Rooftop pool is very small but with a large sundeck and bar area, and stunning views.
Spa
There is a sauna, but no spa services.
Gym
Small but well-equipped fitness center with a nice view.
Dining
The on-site Primavera restaurant is good in a pinch but there are plenty of better options within short walking distance.
Drinking
The rooftop bar offers well-priced drinks with a view.

Bars
Salon Niza (5-minute walk) is a classic cantina recently discovered by a trendy younger set. the underground cocktail haven Xaman (8-minute walk) serves drinks inspired by prehispanic cultures.
