About this property

Welcome to Hotel Amala

Located in the festive area of Xochimilco, Hotel Amala offers a convenient setting for visitors looking to explore iconic cultural landmarks in Ciudad de México. The hotel sits near the Pista Olímpica Virgilio Uribe and provides easy access to the colorful, gondola-like boats navigating pre-Columbian canals. Several notable attractions are within reach, including the Frida Kahlo Museum, Island of the Dead Dolls, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, all popular with travelers interested in art and local legends.

The property features a range of practical amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, room service, a restaurant, bar, and a hot tub. While it lacks facilities like a fitness center or business center and does not offer pet-friendly accommodations or airport shuttle service, the hotel aims to provide a comfortable stay with essentials well covered. Check-in starts at 13:00 and check-out is by 12:00.

Guest reviews highlight the hotel's clean, modern rooms and attentive staff service, with some noting a romantic atmosphere rather than family-oriented. While many guests appreciated the spacious and well-maintained rooms, a few pointed out minor maintenance issues such as electrical outlets not functioning. The hotel’s location is praised for proximity to dining options and easy transport routes, though its in-house restaurant received some mixed feedback.

With a 4.3 rating based on over 1,700 reviews, Hotel Amala suits travelers seeking a practical base in a lively neighborhood rich in culture. It appears especially fitting for couples or visitors interested in exploring Xochimilco’s vibrant canals and Ciudad de México’s artistic heritage, rather than larger families or business travelers.

The hotel is nice, clean, modern. It's not exactly a place for families. More of a romantic vibe. The rooms are nice but the bed was a bit hard and the pillows could be better. The location was great, and there's a nearby bridge to walk over the highway and go to the flower market and other places. Plenty of dining options nearby. I don't recommend the restaurant there. Staff was a little annoyed that we had kids, but it worked out ok for a couple nights. Underground parking was free, easy, and secure.

Along with many others, booked this place not realising it was 'romance' hotel but what does that matter? The room was clean and room service was fast. You would never know other than the occasional noise at night.
