Downtown Mexico, a Member of Design Hotels

What a gem of a hotel. It really did take me by surprise. Extremely characterful, classy and stylish. Honestly such a lovely boutique hotel - and so affordable for what you get. Breakfast of a morning was really impressive and well worth it (don't just expect the standard buffet style - you get devilled eggs, local pastires, fresh fruit etc). Check-in was enjoyable and I was able to get my VIP room upgrade. The pool area on the rooftop was excellent. Only slight downside is the area felt a bit crazy (compared to some other neighbourhoods) but I guess that's Mexico City for you. Would recommend this hotel to anyone!

I felt the per night charge was reasonable for being in historic city zone. Appreciated the historic background of the facility. Convenience to historic zone was primary. Minimalist furnishings, but sufficient. staff friendly, helpful… but PAULA at lobby desk was the best, partly i think bec she is fluent in English … I think a little miscommunication with her colleagues not as proficient in English. Restaurant azul is fabulous. The tabernera can make it a little noisy on nights w company parties tho. Would book this property again in CDMX.

The hotel is located in a beautiful ancient house in the centre of historic Mexico city. The courtyard with its restaurant is the real gem of the property. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our room was very spacious with a balcony over the street and a super comfy bed with the softest bed sheets. It was truly a luxurious stay!

We loved our room - we were upgraded to a suite. Loved the location - a 2 minute walk to Zocala. The staff was very helpful. My only complaint was before we arrived. I emailed several requests and they were slow in responding. They did what asked but didn’t report back which was annoying. While we were there, the were very accommodating.

From the 4 waiters I had only one waiter that his service was not all that great and that was my waiter that served me breakfast on 10/30. The room smelled humid. Other than those two things, the stay was awesome. I would stay there again.

I was so excited to stay at this hotel and it really is a beautiful building. The rains I wouldn’t stay again was the ac wasn’t working, even after we asked for maintenance to take a look, it is very dark - very limited options for increasing light in room and very limited outlets ( none in bathroom - I had to blow dry hair by bed). And we were very frustrated with the checkout process - the gentleman told us we had to pay for our stay and we showed a receipt of being paid already and then he presented us with a bill for tops for the free breakfast included with stay. We told him that we gave our server a tip in cash each morning and he reluctantly took it off our bill. Also the beds are very hard. The location is great and the shower was wonderful but not enough pros for us to stay there again.

Great hotel in the middle of central part of the city, very clean. Amazing ambience. Definitely will be back.

I had to spend much time reflecting on this. The most salient complaint was the lack of room lighting. When traveling, people live out of suitcases and the access to light is essential. I realize the room portray a minimalist approach, but practicality and need should exceed the "artistic elements". The bed was fantastic. I meant to inquire but we could hit that thing and be "out". Memory foam? The room size was more than camodious, it was disgusting! Nothing like being able to install a bowling alley and still have room to walk. The inner rooms, 1 - 3 did not have windows facing the street but the interior. If you wish a view of the street, room 4, 5, 6 and 7 all have views and large windows.The architecture is unique with the room plans. They are indeed most honest in the rooms. The breakfast was always good with a variety of wonderful jams and honey as well as pastraimi, cheese and omelettes. The room staff were delightful. No a word of English but delightful, helpful and most accomodating. They also do laundry. One thing you must realize is that colonial element is somewhat evident. Staff does not like to get into the elevator with visitors, they feel it is important and respectful not to do so. I had to grab one fellow by his armand say "Te estoy invitando. Sube conmigo". "I am inviting you, ride up with me". Now, for a few hints. DO go to Teotihucan, it is so majestic. Most are charing $40. Not bad for 6 hours. I hope to write more

The physical hotel is impressive! High ceiling, open space, very clean and easy to get around. I would only suggest a little more lighting by the stairs and elevator—it’s safe but just dark.
