The 148-room HF Fenix Urban is a nice mid-range property in a quiet location a block from the Parque metro stop. The clean, modern rooms feel Ikea-esque (think: blonde wood, plush beds with crisp white duvets, white walls), and feature flat-screen TVs and stocked minibars. There’s little in the way if amenities, and the bar and restaurant are nothing special, but the hotel does offer free Wi-Fi and discounted passes to a nearby local gym. This is a good value pick for both business travelers and families -- some rooms feature bunk beds, sofa beds, and microwaves.
