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.

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!

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!!

We loved our room - we were upgraded to a suite. Loved the location - a 2 minute walk to Zocala. The staff was very helpful. My only complaint was before we arrived. I emailed several requests and they were slow in responding. They did what asked but didn’t report back which was annoying. While we were there, the were very accommodating.

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.

I was so excited to stay at this hotel and it really is a beautiful building. The rains I wouldn’t stay again was the ac wasn’t working, even after we asked for maintenance to take a look, it is very dark - very limited options for increasing light in room and very limited outlets ( none in bathroom - I had to blow dry hair by bed). And we were very frustrated with the checkout process - the gentleman told us we had to pay for our stay and we showed a receipt of being paid already and then he presented us with a bill for tops for the free breakfast included with stay. We told him that we gave our server a tip in cash each morning and he reluctantly took it off our bill. Also the beds are very hard. The location is great and the shower was wonderful but not enough pros for us to stay there again.
