Reviews of City Express Plus by Marriott Ciudad de México Patio Universidad
Denis from Bahamas – 16 March 2025 (8/10)
Clean, comfortable, efficient. My room was quiet and I didn't hear neighbors although there were families around. Small gym on the property. Located in a nice mall so convenient for shopping if this is desired
What could be improved: No operable windows in the room. Included breakfast was basically fruit and carbohydrates. Eggs were extra.Sai from India – 1 November 2024 (8/10)
1. Located in a very central and commercial area (lot of shops around) with great accessibility through the metro which was around half a mile away
2. Very friendly and helpful staff
3. Room was comfortable and spacious
What could be improved: 1. The breakfast could have had more variety and options, especially for vegetarians as the menu was limited
2. While connectivity was great through the metro, it is a bit far from the main tourist attractions in the cityMaria from Mexico – 3 September 2024 (9/10)

What could be improved: NO HABIA BOLSAS PARA BASURAS EN BOTESLuis from Mexico – 17 April 2024 (7/10)
Convenience
What could be improved: The room last one at the lobby Level had a weird (exhoust) smellChloe from United States – 29 July 2023 (8/10)
It was in a convenient location. The mall was right outside the hotel, and it was by two main streets and a subway station.
What could be improved: The beds were a bit uncomfortable and so were the pillows. The walls were also very thin so you could hear a lot around you, especially from the rooms right next to you and above you.Kathleen from United States – 29 July 2023 (7/10)
Location to our friend’s home.
Staff was very professional and friendly.
Exceptional choices for breakfast.
Convenient shopping.
What could be improved: The room was sparse. Put together like a college dorm. Poorly fitted. Mattress was too firm.Eduardo from El Salvador – 16 July 2023 (8/10)
The rooms was very clean and location is great
What could be improved: The breakfast area is very small.Andy from United States – 23 May 2023 (8/10)
Its location
What could be improved: The receptionist was confused when my sister arrived and didn’t know how to handle her request for a keyPaolo from Italy – 10 May 2023 (9/10)
The hotel is located in a great spot in the city in one of the most tradicional and, at the same time, modern areas. Located right next to a shopping mall it is close to anything you may need and transportation is right across the street. I would suggest it for a stay of a few days in the city.
Hector from United States – 25 February 2023 (7/10)
ok. need a better breakfast
What could be improved: breakfast wasn’t good
