I opted to pay at the hotel but got charged a hold and then got charged again at the hotel...so the double amount went on my credit card...unacceptable...and very inconvenient. Also, the roof was closed all of Saturday for a private party but only informed of this after booking...and party went until 12:30am...not fun when your room is right under the roof.

Everything was ok, small boutique hotel, clean and good location. I cant give 5 stars because the AC in my room didn't work. They put a really noisy fan instead, that it was so loud I couldn't sleep well. My windowless room was really warm and I couldn't open the door for safety reasons. I had to drink quite a lot of overpriced water from the minibar and they still charged me.

It’s such a gorgeous space and the rooms are amazing if you’re into design but they really need to update their AC and ventilation system. It was constantly hot and humid and muggy in the room as the AC wasn’t strong enough to cool the whole room and the fan they gave us was obnoxiously loud. We had to sleep with the front door open most nights which is t great when you room opens out to a communal space.

Weekend in CDMX
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. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it

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!

Beautiful historic boutique hotel. Centrally located. Very convenient. Bess a little short! Room a little stuffy. Would be very warm during summer months. Accommodates a late check out which was very helpful. Architecturally beautiful!

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!
