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.

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.

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.

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).

This was a great hotel in the historic center of CDMX. I highly recommend staying here. My only comment is that the rooms are a bit dark, but I also think that is part of the vibe that makes it really special. We have a great stay!
