About

Hotel Calenda

Hotel Calenda sits on Calzada Heroes De Chapultepec, about a six-minute walk from the Ethnobotanical Garden. It's a straightforward 3-star property that puts you close to the old city's sights without the premium of a historic-centre address.

The hotel keeps things simple: Wi-Fi in public areas, a 24-hour reception, and paid shuttle service. Rooms are clean and reasonably sized, with some offering balconies. On-site parking is a practical perk in a city where street parking can be tight.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms need updating — Ratings for rooms are low, suggesting the physical condition may feel dated or worn.
  • Underwhelming general experience — The overall rating is below average for the area, and value scores are the lowest, so the experience may not match the price for some.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Paid shuttle only — Airport or area transfers come at an extra cost; there's no complimentary shuttle mentioned.
