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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
