TERRBLE

Es el peor lugar en donde me he quedado, par empesar las fotos de el hotel son viejisimas, ahora solo esta rodeado de edifisios y univa vista es las paredes de los otros edifisios, ademas el trato es muy malo, unos sangrones todos.
Lets get this clear: IT'S LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!

The hotel is basically run down. The rooms are without AC, the bathrooms are old and awkward, the parking is very uncomfortable; BUT, it's location is SO fantastic that it makes everything else liveable!
If this hotel were anywhere else in Mexico City i would probably not recommend it but its half a block away from Alameda park, two blocks from Palacio de Bellas Artes and about 6 or so blocks form the Zocalo! What else can one want on a trip to Mexico City? This Hotel is smack in the middle of the Historic Center and that's the best part of it.
The price is also great but like I said before be aware that its not the most pleasant place on earth. If you are the type of person like me that prefers convenience over luxury then stay in this hotel. If you want luxury and more amenities then don't stay here.
good value

This was a very good hotel for the price we paid. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Very convenient location. They charge much less by booking online. To extend the stay the price was much higher at the front desk.
Great location for a great price

If you are looking for something cheap and in a great location, this is the place to stay. The location is very close to several metro lines. The hotel was clean and seemed to be in a safe neighborhood. The room was clean. The rooms could use some updating but I would rather pay less money than sleep in the dark in a pretty room. The beds were very comfortable.
Perfect for brief, affordable stay

This is not the best hotel in town, but it is perfect for a safe, easy, affordable stay. Literally saved 50% by booking on online travel website (not a paid endorsement, but an encouragement to buy your ticket online before you arrive) - walked in, gave our name and were headed to the room in a couple of minutes.
Our room had a great view and was well tended to. The bathroom was fine except the sink drained very very slowly (but I didn't complain, it wasn't that big of an issue to us). Hotel San Francisco is within two blocks of beautiful Alameda Park in one direction and lots of small food places in the other direction. I wouldn't recommend walking around outside at night alone - no personal problems, but it looked kinda 'seedy'... if you know what I mean. There is a lot of construction going on this area (rebuilding a large facility across the street) but the room was very quiet at night. The buffet dinner and breakfast were fine, and affordable ($90 pesos and $50 pesos respectively). The staff were friendly and accommodating. Although nothing came up that needed a specific request, the encounters I had with the front desk, the bellman and the wait staff in the restaurant were extremely inviting, friendly and helpful.
The hotel has its own taxi, which was very nice to get to the airport (which is 13 miles away... the cab rate for two of us was about $200 pesos). Not having to chase down a taxi on the street was a very nice added benefit.
I personally wouldn't choose this place to stay for a long, relaxing, vacation trip... but for a couple of days between legs of a longer journey - it was a life saver.
