Mexico City
Staying in Mexico City's historic centre puts the museum within a short walk of your room, along with the surrounding streets of the centro. Most of the hotels near Museo Numismático Nacional cluster here, which keeps mornings simple and lets you retreat when the afternoon rain arrives. Among them are Viajero CDMX Centro Hostel, 350 m away, Hotel Templo Mayor at 380 m and Hotel Amigo Suites at 420 m. Slightly farther, Hotel Azores sits 480 m from the museum and Hotel Zócalo Central 740 m.
Cuauhtemoc
Cuauhtemoc covers the wider central district around the historic core, so a stay here still leaves the museum within walking range while placing you a little away from the busiest lanes. Hostel Mundo Joven Catedral, in Cuauhtemoc, is 610 m from the museum, about 9 minutes on foot, with a bar and snack café, family rooms and a kitchen. It is the listed option in this area, useful if you want the centre's sights but a quieter base.
