I suggested on our last nite that breakfast plates should be pre-heated especially that mornings are pretty chilly. On the morning we left, I got a nice surprise with an omelette, fried beans and sautéed zucchini with corn on a hot plate! Just the best!

Downtown Hotel Mexico, was fantastic. Great location in the hub of the city, a short walk to the main square & cathedral. The hotel is in a historic building, which has a lively vibe with 2 restaurants in its coutyard. For more of a relaxing atmosphere, head to the rooftop bar & pool, which have great views of the rooftops. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful, with the hotel in great condition, clean, given the age of the historic building. If you are after a quiet retreat, it may not be your cup of tea, but we loved it!!

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.

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!
