Hotels
Some options close to campus are:
- Hotel Lisboa (3 stars). $1010 (1140) MXN single (double) occupancy.
This hotel is a 5 minute walk from the subway station "Centro Medico"
(on Line 3). From that station, you can take the subway with direction
towards "Universidad" (i.e., heading south), and get off in the last
station, "Universidad". ICN is a 10-15 minute walk from there (see the
map below, and more specifically, follow the path marked in red in
this image.
- Hotel Diplomatico (3 stars).$1030 MXN special rate for UNAM (not
available for those who need a "factura" from some other institution).
This hotel is a 5 min walk from the Metrobus station "Parque Hundido"
(on Line 1). From that station, you should take the Metrobus with
direction "El Caminero" (i.e., heading south). You must get off at the
10th stop, "Ciudad Universitaria" (or "CU", not to be confused with the
stop after that, "Centro Cultural Universitario", or "CCU"). ICN is a
10-15 minute walk from there (see
this map )
- Hotel Radisson (4 stars). $1368.50 MXN special rate for UNAM.
Very close to the University, so you might want to just take a taxi or
Uber directly to UNAM (whose relevant campus is also known as "CU", or
"Ciudad Universitaria") and ICN. (Within UNAM, you'll need to use your
GPS to give the driver directions.) Another option is to take a short
ride on the Metrobus, which is about 10 minutes from the hotel. Use the
footbridge over "Periferico" to cross into the "Perisur" shopping mall.
From there you can walk to the "Perisur" metrobus station, located on
"Insurgentes" avenue. Make sure you take it going North (towards "Indios
Verdes", NOT south towards "El Caminero"). You must get off at the
second stop, "Ciudad Universitaria" (or "CU", not to be confused with
the first stop, "Centro Cultural Universitario", or "CCU"). From there,
it's a 10-15 minute walk to ICN (see
this map).
