Reviews of Holiday Inn Express – Mexico Basilica by IHG
Murillo from United States – 26 May 2025 (9/10)
The breakfast was very good. Wish there was fresh orange juice, and bacon..
It was in good location close to everything and everyone was so niece and answer every question we ask and the driver give advice what to watch out for we felt very safe staying there.
But there was only one thing negative when we just got there the reception didn’greet us with a smile. She looks like she was very tired and I wanted to be there. Thank you for all you do for us.
What could be improved: More seats in the room.Kratu from India – 15 May 2025 (9/10)
The hotel is great for travelers on a budget. The room we had was very decently sized, the breakfast layout was adequate and filling and the staff are overall helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend staying in this hotel if you are travelling to Mexico City and are on a tight budget. It was midway between the city center and the airport.
What could be improved: The location of the hotel is a bit far from the main city center and sights of the town so be prepared for it accordingly.Arwen from United States – 17 April 2025 (8/10)
