Hotel Krystal Urban Aeropuerto CDMX provided a very pleasant stay for my 23 1/2 hour layover in…read moreMexico City. My experience was positive from start to finish.
They offer free shuttle service to and from the airport. I found the shuttle service on time and the driver courteous and helpful. If you are arriving to Terminal 2, the hotel has a desk at arrivals (on the ground floor) across from a small OXXO. Otherwise call the hotel front desk to schedule your retrieval at (55) 5640 0460.
While the outside of the building is gray, once you enter it is very refreshing oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. The lobby is classy and pleasant, there are sitting areas in the common area with a TV across from the front desk. The seats in the sitting area are a bit oversized and you tend to sink into them. Fortunately I did not have a problem getting up out of them!
The front desk staff was very professional, courteous, helpful and is in a great representation of what customer service ought to be.
Your room key card must be inserted into a reader to get the elevator to take you up. That's a security measure. It is not required to return to the lobby.
The bellhop carried my bags and showed me to my room.
When I entered the room, it seemed a little musty at first until I put my key in the switch to turn on the power for the room. Once I did that the AC and vent came on and cleared up the air.
I got the room with the king size bed. I found the bed, the multiple pillows, linens and all very clean, comfortable and inviting.
The spacious room is nicely and simply decorated and has several in room amenities such as: Single cup coffee maker, large flatscreen TV with cable and a printed channel guide, remote controls, telephone with instructions, plenty of power outlets, well placed furniture such as night stands, desk, office style chair, and free WiFi.
My room was in excellent condition as if it were new or recently remodeled.
The closet was equipped with a stand for the suitcase, an iron, ironing board, and a safe.
One small bottle of water was provided in the room (two would have been nicer). The coffee (in a filter packet), was a medium roast. Two kinds of sugar and Splenda were provided as well as two CoffeeMate powdered creamers).
The bathroom was equipped with the standard shampoo, conditioner, lotion, a bar of facial soap and a bar of bath soap. The towels are quite large and were a high quality. Unlike many Mexican hotels there was also a wash cloth.
Krystal Urban offers room service 24/7, and there is a restaurant on the ground floor. I didn't try either one, but did take a peek inside and it seemed to have a nice relaxing atmosphere. I also posted a picture of the room service menu.
There is a basic gym for those who like to work out. It is equipped with standard exercise machines such as treadmills, as well as a full set of free weights. To get to the gym take the elevator to the 4th floor. As you exit the elevator go left. At the end of the hall take another sharp left and go up the flight of stairs, and there it is.
Across the street there is a large grocery store, and also a large mall with numerous shopping and dining options.
The hotel has a few parking spaces in front and also an underground parking garage.
I will definitely stay here again.
