This was my 1st stay in Mexico City using AB&B. I waited to write a review only after I had the opportunity to stay at a couple other places.
After using AB&B in Puebla and then Mexico City again, I can say that other places offered better value.
In general, the price I actually paid for my room -after fees and taxes- was 40% more than the advertised price. The final price at the other properties I used was 15% in Mexico City and 12% in Puebla. At the advertised price this property would be a GREAT deal. After the surcharges, I ranked it 3 stars for Value.
I unfortunately arrived about 5 min after the official Check-in time. After about 40 min waiting for my room to be ready I texted Adrian to see if I could use another room. He must have been very busy or unavailable because I did not get a response. In time the room was cleaned and after almost 1 hour, I finally moved into my room. Of course, if I had arrived more than 1 hour after the official check-in time, this would have been a non-issue. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me this time.
I noted the below items with the shower in my floor :
1- The bathroom floor was often wet and soiled from guests stepping with their street shoes on a wet floor. This was caused by a too-short shower curtain that allowed the water from the shower to splash into the whole bathroom area.
2- The bathroom wall on my floor was peeling and in my case, a small chunk of plaster fell off while I used the shower on my last day.
3- The small shower/bathroom could be improved by adding/providing a small shelf so guests can have a place to put things while they take a shower -like a toiletry bag, sunglasses, a folded t-shirt, etc.- without these getting wet.
OTHER ITEMS-
There was only one 3-prong electric outlet so my devices had to 'take-turns' using it. Adding a simple 3-prong power strip would address this easily.
The mattress felt old and lumpy. It did not conform well to my body. It could be greatly improved by adding a mattress topper.
Bottom line: This property has a GREAT location and could be a BEST BUY. The items I pointed out about the bathroom, the mattress, and the electric outlets could be fixed at a very small cost and in my opinion, greatly improve the value proposition for this property. I hope to use it again in the future.
For now I rate it a 3 Star.
