Why you should stay here. You appreciate interior design and architecture. You would like to be in the Centro historico district. Azul historico restaurant is downstairs. You would like a romantic stay. You like a perfect Mexican breakfast on a beautiful terrace. You like a property where the staff treat you well. You need a chance to relax at a rooftop pool with bar service. Why you shouldn’t stay here . You value peace and quiet. It’s in the epicenter of activity. Even though it’s an oasis, the speakers blare music from the street all day. If I were the owners of this hotel, I would pay the store on the street to turn it down. I was laughing to myself how this beautiful and charming property is a victim to a small business in the street that thinks loud music lures customers. But, It was quiet at night, so no big deal to me. Would stay here again! The people that work there are great!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

Good location. Modern, well appointed rooms with high ceilings but no window except the door - it is like sleeping in a tomb. Nice rooftop bar and pool, but pool not exclusive to hotel patrons and on the weekend, it was full of young people standing in pool and drinking (with glassware). Open public access to hotel floor - someone banged on our door late at night, Nice restaurant with beautiful candles in trees in courtyard entrance.

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!

Beautiful, but needs more light!

Nice location. Very chic. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful old palacio, with friendly staff. The room was very chic, but it was very dimly lit. This is very challenging for a traveler--making it harder to find things in a room. It was even dimly lit in the bathroom--not friendly for a woman. This trend also extended to the check-in desk and even the restaurant within the building (which was beautiful, but unaffiliated with the hotel).

It is a gorgeous hotel and a great location if you want to be in the heart of the Historic District. The property, rooms and restuarent are all stunning. I had a small issue with the AC in my room and the hotel responded promptly. I travel allot and understand that sometimes things go wrong or break. Its the way the hotel responds that matters to me.

The Downtown Hotel in Mexico City is a beautiful design hotel located in the heart of Centro. Wonderful hotel surrounded by retail, restaurants and bars with fabulous garden courts as part of the design. Service was excellent. Only downside was the pool was closed for an event for 2 nights but we were able to access the sister hotel rooftop pool Circulo Hotel. Also CDMX had a few very hot days and the a/c unit couldn't keep up. That aside a wonderful hotel!

We had a good 5 day stay at the hotel. Very friendly staff and the hotel is at a great location to the historic center. The hotel is quaint and a beautiful mix of really old and modern. However, the lighting was a real problem. The room was very dark and the stairs so dark, that we had to use flashlights to walk on them. The high ceilings were screaming for a large chandelier.
