Bottom Line
The 50-room budget Hotel Del Principado is in the Zona Rosa neighborhood, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars, and businesses. The staff is bilingual, and there's a restaurant on-site that serves all meals, including a breakfast buffet. Rooms are no-frills and not air-conditioned, and bathrooms are small with some maintenance problems, such as rust stains, dirty grout, and peeling paint. It's main selling point is its central location and low rates. Another budget option travelers could consider is Hotel Fontan Reforma.

Scene
Basic 50-room hotel, bilingual staff
Hotel Principado is a basic, four-story budget hotel that opened in 1975. Five country flags above the Hotel Principado sign mark the covered entrance off the street, and stairs with plants on each side lead to the lobby. The small lobby has a tile floor and a sofa but has no real decor aside from a single plant atop a glass table. The check-in desk is at the back and is manned by a bilingual staff. The traditional-style restaurant, with a beautiful tile floor and black-and-white photographs of movie stars on the walls, is off to the side.
