Hotel Estadio trades amenities for address. You're paying for location in Roma Norte - steps from Hospital General metro station, surrounded by markets, taquerías, and the texture of a neighborhood where people actually live, not a tourist zone. The rooms are small, bathrooms compress shower, toilet, and sink into one tight space, and outlets are scarce. That's standard for budget urban hotels in Mexico City. The structural problem is hygiene: cockroaches aren't a stray complaint but a documented pattern across multiple rooms that has persisted for years. Staff are generally accommodating and will move you to another room, but that doesn't solve what's broken at the building level. If location matters more than anything else and you can accept infrastructure that hasn't been renewed, it works. If cleanliness is non-negotiable, it doesn't.
