Budget

Hotel Virreyes
Offers excellent private rooms and adequate dorms. Dorm matresses very good. Is also a stone's throw from a good market, Mercado San Juan Arcos de Belem. It has decent, well-priced internet access, free Wi-Fi and a cinema club. Breakfast is not included in the price but is cheap in the attached restaurant. The staff are really helpful and a security guard is present 24 hours. Monthly rates from $3000MX and up.
Hotel Habana
The Hotel Habana in the Calle República de Cuba has well-appointed rooms for a good price.
Hotel Rio de Janeiro
Decent rooms with TVs with local channels. You can get a room for 70 pesos!!! if you are by yourself and don't mind sharing a bathroom. The price for two people is only 90 pesos less than $9 USD with a shared bathroom. The rooms with attached bedrooms are also cheap. Basic, but clean and with personal TVs.
If you are on a low-budget, you can find hotels as low as $7 USD if you take a room with a shared bathroom. Most are centred in the Centro Historico and are very decent.
Hostels are more expensive than getting your own private room with full facilities like a TV and restroom, but the cheap hotels are not listed on the internet and many foreigners jump into the hostels for a much worse value. The hostels are a good place to meet people but you should only stay there if you don't mind noise and sharing a restroom. There are plenty of other places to meet people besides hostels so be sure to look around before deciding to stay at one just because it has a sign in English.

The city has literally hundreds of hotels and some sublets in all price ranges, though the district you want to stay in will be a good indicator of price and quality. Zona Rosa is a tourist haven with a strong mid-range selection; the Polanco district is where high-end hotels thrive, and the Centro Histórico is home to plenty of budget hotels, sublets apartments and backpacker hostels. A wide variety of hotels can also be found along Paseo de la Reforma. Local designers and architects are feeding a new generation of sublets where detail and variety are proving that globalization does not mean uniformity.
