This hotel is a good value for the location, you're right on 5th. We were in two different rooms for the two separate nights we stayed and neither room was too loud considering the location. Check in is easy and the staff is helpful. The beds are hard, but as we've found in Mexico most are. They don't have parking, but we had no issues finding street spots that were very close.

Awesome location great staff authentic Mexico
We've been traveling to Mexico since 1995 and we love the food, culture, people, history - everything. We've stayed at many all inclusives but we found ourselves over and over again venturing to local restaurants and such so this time we stayed at Hotel Banana. We noticed the place on our many walks down 5th avenue. We're so glad we did! Location is quiet enough to sleep but right near everything. Town is safe-fun. Food is great and super cheap as are the margaritas - we suggest staying her or another small boutique hotel if you want some real flavor. Staffs great - recommend here highly and you can't best the price.
