The hotel is so beautiful and we loved all the animals! In addition to peacocks, they also have a giant tortoise and a cat. The staff was all very friendly and so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

The property was lovely. It is reminiscent of a gentler time. The peacocks add a touch of elegance that is emphasized throughout the entire property. Just beautiful.

Great stay in a historic, updated mansion
Great place with a wonderful, helpful staff and close to Central Coyoacan for great food, shopping and cultural stuff. Everyone was delightful; breakfast with the peacocksaround the fountain was a daily highlight. Just a very nice place to stay in Coyoacan!

The Mansion Papilio is like transporting yourself back in time. My sister and I stayed three nights and it is not just for couples, we enjoyed every minute during our stay. From the peacocks to Picasso the cat and the sulcata tortoise to the furnishings, architecture, lawns and serenity. But what stood out the most was the beyond excellent service provided by our Mayordomo Alan. He gave us a tour of the Mansion and knows so much about the mansion’s history. He worked around the clock tirelessly to make sure we had everything we wanted. Even special requests like my non alcoholic cold beers! He is such an inspiration of loving his job and it shows his commitment to excellent service. We already miss the Mansion and we miss Alan as well. We are already planning our next stay!!! Thanks to everyone at the Mansion!

Unique property in very convenient location
My stay overall was pretty good. The room was spacious and the property well maintained and very unique with a terrific location near many activities and restaurants in the center of Coyoacan.
I have a few suggestions to make service a bit stronger, related to sharing more information should be provided upfront to help visitors (especially foreigners who don't speak Spanish) with instructions and tips upon arrival and basic / common FAQs, including:
- provide the gate code in advance so that visitors are able to come in and not get confused waiting outside on the small sidewalk
- communicate some common FAQs about the WiFi, water and other items ahead of guests arrival (I only later noticed that a lot of this information was actually provided in a booklet inside the room)
- since the staff don't speak English, it makes it even more important to facilitate easy and timely communication of questions and requests especially during hours when the staff are not readily visible / reachable.
Thank you!

Exceptional place to stay
I love this hotel! This is my second visit, and I will return. The personal attention is exceptional. This is a unique experience: breakfast in the garden with a guitar player , champagne greeting, strolling peacocks, , friendly employees. The architecture and decor are beautiful. Love it all!

Beautiful oasis, circa 1923 property with wonderful staff, great location, solid breakfast, and (most importantly) peacocks roaming the property. We stayed in the Juliette room set off to the left of the property and liked the privacy. There were several private experiences for other guests — al Fresca cinema, an engagement proposal with a rose-lined walkway to a giant rose heart in the back courtyard, and a private dinner in the wine cellar. We only had one night but would definitely come back and stay longer.

Beautiful location. Staff was extraordinary, amazing people. They do a great job. They are trilingual and brilliant. Mansion is pretty. Breakfast is great including fantastic soft a live music - boleros and jazz-
because it is an old mansion they always have maintenance team. I want to suggest that they invest more in eco friendly approach. I strongly recommend it.

The staff was very friendly and professional. There is so much history in this beautiful home. This is a 100yr old property, so keep that in mind. If you love charm and a unique experience, this is definitely a great property to check out. Our favorite were breakfast in the back yard surrounded by beautiful peacocks and a very friendly little cat. The neighborhood is quite busy and the streets are narrow. Inside the property, you can barely hear any noise.

A lovely little spot in the heart of Coyoacán. Great service (thank you Martin!) and excellent location. Breakfast in the courtyard among the peacocks and other friendly furry visitors was the highlight.
My only concern was the locks in the door to my hotel room. I was traveling alone as a female and the only lock to my door was a simple push-lock on the door knob that could easily be maneuvered from the outside. I wish there was at least a dead-bolt from the inside for better security. Despite this, everything else was perfect!

Almost kicked out but still had a good time
it was great until i was accused of sneaking in extra guests. my friends were tourists like us and desperately needed to charge their phones to get an uber. The language barrier made it hard to explain to the attendants working and i do not blame them at all calling their boss (Those guys were great btw. they deserve all 5 stars). But the boss who spoke to me in english was somehow less understanding than the men who initially raised the concern. It took almost an hour to finally convince him that the phone charging friends had left the second we were told about situation.
All in all amazing people, but management left me feeling unwelcome

Mansion Papilio is so much more than just a convenient place to stay for visiting Coyoacan. The mansion has been beautifully restored, the attention to detail is exquisite. I felt like I was staying in someone’s home. It’s very private and secure. The grounds at the front and the back of the mansion are fabulous too. Everywhere is beautifully maintained. I loved seeing the resident Peaocks and Peahens, which freely roam around the gardens. I received a lovely warm welcome from Beni, who was helpful throughout my stay. Beni also plays the guitar (classical and contemporary) during breakfast. This was such a treat, he is an exceptionally talented musician. I stayed longer at breakfast just to enjoy the music each morning. Anastacio is also great, he was very attentive and provided very high standards of service during breakfast, nothing was too much trouble. Housekeeping do an excellent job too, ensuring everywhere is spotless. I loved my visit to Coyoacan and staying at the mansion made it even more memorable. Thank you to the whole team for making my stay extra special!
