Beautiful rooms, exceptional rooftop pool and bar
Greta, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing hotel

The building is beautiful. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were comfortable. We loved the breakfast with lots of different options. The pool area was very nice and relaxing and the roof terrace was really cool. It's a pretty small hotel, but that gives it a nice atmosphere. The location was right in the middle of the historical center and close to the airport.

10/10 Exceptional

This was one of the nicest boutique hotels I have ever seen. Elegant, with ancient touches and a strong local character.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is very nice and well located, and the breakfasts are tasty. The rooms are a little on the dark side…an extra light would be handy. Most annoyingly, we booked the hotel for its pool, only to be unable to use it one night as the hotel had leased the area to a DJ, and it was not available to use for guests. Poor form. Then for the other nights, they undertook their annual maintenance, so it was also off limits. Why they chose to do this during summer is a mystery.

Very nice location and lovley rooms and architechture. The only thing was lacking privacy of the bathrooms that could be a problem for some.

Delightful Downtown Hotel

I travel to Mexico often and this cdmx visit was my 4th time there but first time at Downtown hotel. Great cheaper spot if you want to stay in the center. Rooftop pool was fabulous as was the rooms. Everything clean and well kept. Free breakfast was fantastic! Special thanks to Luis my daily breakfast server…kind, professional, and helpful person! Check out Downtown Hotel!!

10/10 Exceptional

Love DOWNTOWN!

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.
Paula, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Juana, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

You cancelklked my booking before I arrived and still took the money shame on you
harvey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff here is top notch. The room was well appointed, but not really comfortable in that there were not really windows to open. It's a bit claustrophobic because the "windows" open into a very public courtyard. However, once you close them off at night it is very quiet. Also, the bathroom only works for couples who are very comfortable with just curtains separating the space. It was fine for one night as the location is very convenient to everything around the Zocalo. The breakfast was quite nice and Azul Historico downstairs is a wonderful restaurant.
Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in a great location and has a lot to see within walking distance. The 2 restaurants are fantasy. We did a girls trip so we rented 5 rooms. The rooms were very clean and looked cool. The only thing ones 2 of the rooms had no windows (the door had a window) but no exterior window. Those rooms were very dark. The 2 rooms on the street had a lot of noise. The final room had windows and was pretty quiet. I would stay there again but navigate the room situation. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was lovely. Both restaurants were fantastic and so reasonably priced.
laura patricia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stumbled upon this property a couple of years ago, we had a number of hours to kill in cdmx and visited the restaurant downstairs. We returned to stay in the hotel at the recommendation of friends. The property is quite breathtakingly beautiful with exquisite design features. The rooms are spacious and decadent with open plan elements and clean finishes. Rooms are sparsely decorated and dim lighting is quite beautiful….until you need to find anything in your luggage or get ready in front of the bathroom mirror _ which is impossible in such dark surroundings! Which leads me to the only other negatives - The room lacked tea or coffee making facilities and if you need ice in your room, you’ll need to call reception. Good luck in trying to call reception as there is no direction on what to dial on the phone, luckily it didn’t take much time to figure that one out. There’s no room service menu in the room either. Only one comfortable chair in the room, and the noise… there are the most amazing acoustic blocking doors installed to block out the street noise and the music from the rooftop bar, but the noise of the a/c in the room is really loud - even on low. The rooftop pool is beautiful and the facilities up there are lovely but the pool is freezing cold and totally unusable! Nevertheless, I’ll give this hotel a 4.5 out of 5

Bien pero muy caro para lo que se ofrece.

La comida deliciosa, pero podrian mejorar tener un plan B para los huespedes que llegan durante eventos de la ciudad. No pude hacer checking hasta despues de las 6pm. Al dia siguiente quise tomarme una cerveza en el restaurante antes de salir al aeropuerto y no me la quisieron vender.

Manuel Alvarado, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Eccellente hotel per visitare il centro storico. Il problema è l'occupazione da parte di dimostranti dell'intero centro storico con tende compreso Zocalo che rende l'area non molto sicuro. Staff molto gentile e estremamente disponibile. L'unico punto da migliorare è la colazione limitata e con uno staff di riferimento troppo lento
daniela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place was so beautiful—a real gem in the heart of the historic area of M. City. Our suite was so sexy—very much exceeded our expectations. My only criticism was the AC was loud (fan needs to be calibrated—sounded like it was rubbing something) and it didn’t seem to do much cooling. But, we kept the windows open to the outside and luckily it wasn’t too hot.

Magnificent old building, sympathetically and well fitted out. Breakfast included is top quality. Perfect Mexico City base.

6/10 Good

The property is located close to a few historical sights and looks very nice. The breakfast was also great. Sadly, there were a few issues - the swimming pool area was closed one of the days, the sink in my room didn't drain properly, there was noisy construction on site one night that went on past midnight and the AC didn't work well.
Denis, 4-night trip

Beautiful hotel & stay! LOVE that the hotel has shops and restaurant (make sure you make reservations). The only suggestion to hotel is to give guests more light options in room. It was quite dark. Other than that, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
