FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
  • Why choose Metour.it as your reliable online travel agency?
    Metour.it is committed to offering travelers authentic and unforgettable experiences. As a leading trusted online travel agency, we stand out for our dedication to quality, safety and customer satisfaction. Every destination, package and service offered has been carefully selected to ensure an unparalleled travel experience. Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

If you book a rate that is not “flexible” or “non-cancellable” or “non-changeable”, you may not be entitled to a refund in the event of cancellation or to a refund.

In fact, travel may only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, travel for tourist purposes may not be permitted. We recommend that you visit the government websites of the various countries in the world of destination, the website of the WHO (World Health Organization) and local government bodies, official information sites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Facilities. . MeTour is not responsible for the content of the aforementioned sites, but recommends consulting news that is as up to date as possible.

Excelente ubicación pero habitación poco sucias
Execelente ubicación, sin embargo La habitación estaba sucia, se veía que tenía tiempo sin limpiar, la comida está buena, pero la atención es 50/50 los meseros solo te atienden por qué es su trabajo pero no por qué tengan vocación. Fui a taquerías que atienden mejor. La atención de recepción es muy buena.

Great option for a fall or winter stay
My family of four stayed here during Dia de Los Muertos celebration in CDMX. What an amazing opportunity. The location in Zocalo is very close to Independence Plaza with lots of food options, and shopping close by. Take advantage of the rate that includes breakfast, it is well worth it and very yummy. The only downside to this hotel is that there is no AC. This was not an issue for October, but I am not sure this would be the best option for a summer stay. Rooms do have large floor fans, and large picture windows that open, but those can only provide so much comfort.

Perfect for a short stay if you usually spend your whole day away from the hotel!
This hotel is incredibly central in the historical district of CDMX. Small rooms but considering you spend the entire day out, it's a great and safe place to call base! Not ideal if you are traveling with a lot of luggage.

Chicken box for 50€
Another ripped off on booking. We decided to get a comfortable room on booking.com and the room we got was completely different by the one we aspected. Just the space for the bed and no windows! Unacceptable! We paid more than 4000pesos x 2 rooms for 2 nights. Beware. Unfortunately it wasn't me to make the booking but I'll never come back

Me dejaron sin hotel!!
Me cancelaron la reservación argumentando que no tenían teléfono o correo para confirmar, cuando claramente dejamos todos los datos, de lo contrario, cómo nos hicieron la reservación?!?? Hablé para avisar que llegaría a las 6pm porque mi vuelo se retrasó y me dijeron que cancelaron mi reserva, en pleno buen fin, corona capital y asueto NO tenía hotel!! Me tuve que hospedar en 3 diferentes hoteles porque no respetaron mi reservación.

Horrible, peor imposible
Horrible, no merece las estrellas q le otorgan, nos alojaron en una habitación de la primera planta, dice q de 19 metros cuadrados y no llega a 10 , sin ventanas sin aire , no hay ninguna comodidad, era imposible dormir, la puerta a la habitación tiene una rendija superior por donde se oyen todos los ruidos exteriores, ninguna consideración hacia el cliente..limpieza deja mucho q desear, la peor habitación de hotel donde me he alojado...intentamos q nos cambiarán de habitación pero ni caso...cucarachas en el ascensor durante los 3 días q estuvimos allí..peor imposible

Hotel en el corazón de CDMX, con precio muy accesible.
Este hotel tiene muchos puntos a favor que en contra:
Ubicación, que puedo describir como privilegiada en el corazón de la CDMX. Todo está relativamente cerca y es de fácil acceso. Alrededor del hotel encontrarás atractivos turísticos y de comida, no hay forma de aburrirse. Puedes llegar caminando a los principales museos desde el hotel.
Precio. Bastante justo en relación calidad – habitación – servicio – ubicación. Obtuvimos un cuarto con cama Queen size por $1000 mxn. Por día.
Se nota remodelado recientemente o que le dan constante mantenimiento.
El servicio del personal me resulta ejemplar para otros hoteles: siempre amables, disponibles y dispuestos a ayudar. Incluso sentí que abusaba de su confianza por momentos. Supieron resolver las problemáticas que presentamos como huéspedes en tiempo y forma.
Cuenta con un pequeño gimnasio, restaurante solamente para desayunos pagando desde la recepción, una sala de negocios, WI-FI que llega hasta los últimos pisos.
Cuenta con agua caliente todo el tiempo, en la habitación cuenta con un ventilador enorme.
Otro servicio que cuenta es de la caja fuerte, pregunta en recepción.
El único punto débil es que algunas habitaciones no tienen forma de ventilarse: en el baño, por ejemplo, no hay forma del que vapor de agua salga, se va área de cama y eso hace que se caliente el cuarto.
Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme en este hotel y lo recomiendo. Hizo de nuestra estancia en la CDMX muy agradable.

Wonderful Stay
Hotel Principal is a wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I came to Mexico City as a graduation present for her. The service is wonderful. The room and bathroom were very clean. The pictures on their website do not do the hotel justice. It’s charming and eclectic. The location is central to downtown. There is a cook-to-order breakfast and coffee every morning. If you want something light - fruit, toast, and cold cereal are also available. It is loud, however it can’t be helped. It faces Simone Bolivar and there are, of course, people and cars. This isn’t something that can be controlled by staff. With that said, Mexico City is huge! It is full of people, cars, and smells. There is noise everywhere. If there is one thing I would like to see change? More pillows or firmer pillows. I hope to come back here on 2022. Gracias to staff.

Fantastic place to stay!
The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The rooms were very clean. Also, the location is on a very quiet street and close to everything you could possibly need or want. I hope to stay here again soon!

in centro
Praticamente in centro, ci si può muovere tranquillamente a piedi o in metropolitana per le distanze maggiori. Camere pulite ma piccole, bagno con lavabo esterno. Ottima la copertura wi fi. Personale gentile e disponibile ma non invadedente. L'hotel dispone di un deposito bagagli. Buonissimo il rapporto qualità prezzo

Hôtel bon marché
Nous sommes restés 3 nuits dans cet hôtel, qui était notre point de chute à Mexico avant de poursuivre la route dans le reste du pays.
Pour 12€ la nuit, il ne faut pas s'attendre à des merveilles : chambre minuscule et sombre contenant le strict nécessaire (lit & lavabo), douche et toilettes sur le pallier, pas de ventilateur, fenêtre minuscule.
Au delà de ça, l'hôtel est très bien situé dans le centre historique. La literie est propre et confortable, les chambres et les sanitaires sont suffisamment propres (préférer tout de même une douche tôt le matin)
La cour intérieure est parfois bruyante, mais pas trop, et très typique des immeubles au Mexique.

Impossible de dormir
Hotel bien situé, pas cher avec chambre propre et équipée wifi. Le gros problème c'est qu'il est impossible d'y dormir! Les chambres sont très mal isolées et on entend tout ce qui se passent dans la rue et le couloir. Le pire étant le couloir où des gens rigolent et crient toute la nuit. Nous nous sommes plaint à l'hôtel mais cela a recommencé le lendemain.
La prochaine fois je mettrai un peu plus cher si cela me permet de me dormir ce qui me semble la base lorsqu'on choisi un hôtel.

A quel prezzo, difficile trovare di meglio
L'Hotel Principal costa come un Ostello, ma é decente e pulito. Noi avevamo una stanza doppia con bagno interno e per passare le prime due notti in Messico é stata una soluzione molto azzeccata. L’hotel si trova proprio a pochi passi dallo “Zocalo” e ti permette di esplorare a piedi il centro storico di Città del Messico.

En plein centre historique de Mexico, tout près de la Place de la Constitution. Tout est illuminé pour la saison des Fêtes de fin d,année. Chambre très tranquille, à proximité des multiples restaurants.

fonctionnel
Situé sur l'avenue Bolivar, une des rues poumons de la capitale, établissement sans prétention mais fonctionnel à tout niveau. Pour 100 pesos de plus, préférez les chambres avec vue sur rue.
Bonne literie, sanitaires irréprochables.

Ottima posizione e buon prezzo
Siamo stati una notte bella camera più economica (bagno in comune) ed è molto piccola e senza alcun mobile adatta per passare 1/2 notti. Poi ci siamo spostati nella camera "normale" ed è risultata essere abbastanza spaziosa e confortevole anche se il prezzo è raddoppiato!

Un très mauvais séjour...
C'est la situation de l'hôtel dans le centre de Mexico qui nous a séduite dans un premier temps. Le métro n'est pas loin, tous les commerces sont à disposition. La chambre réservée sur internet en revanche était horrible : Pas plus de 8 m2, une fenêtre donnant sur un mur, un couloir où des personnes résident semblent il à l'année. Un seul sanitaire pour tout le monde, idem pour la douche, propreté qui était loin d'être au rdv. Nous avons trouvé pour le même prix (relativement bas) beaucoup mieux ailleurs. Je déconseille fortement cet hôtel.

PRATICO e PULITO
Abbiamo trascorso 2 notti in questo Albergo al nostro arrivo in Messico .Le stanze sono semplici e pulite, il personale è cortese e si trova a pochi passi dallo Zocalo.
A causa però dei muri molto sottili e delle aperture sopra la porta c è un po' di rumore.

Ottima soluzione!!!!
Se vi capita di passare per Città del Messico e non sapete dove alloggiare, questo è l'hotel che state cercando: situato in una posizione eccellente, proprio in centro, dotato di camere ampie e arieggiate e ad un prezzo davvero molto basso per qualsiasi occidentale. Consigliato!

Perfekte lage aber so so laut!!!
Das personal ist nett u hilfsbereit!! Und die lage ist ganz toll!! Man ist mitten in der stadt! Gegenüber ist ein oxxo und es gibt viele restaurants u bars!
Aber die doppelzimmer sind sehr klein u haben entweder kein fenster u kein ventilator oder ein fenster nach hinten wo es so stinkt dass man das fenster nicht öffnen kann!!!
Und der größte nachteil ist die lautstärke! Man hört jedes wort des nachbarn, die musik, alles!! Man braucht unbedingt ohropax!
Internet geht auch auf den zimmern, aber langsam!!
Also ich würds schon weiterempfehlen, aber nur an diejenigen die nen guten schlaf haben!!
