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!!!

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).

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.

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!
