“A great base from which to explore the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011

Went to Mexico City to visit some friends, see the sights and get some sun.
As a solo female traveler I wanted to be somewhere where I felt safe and where the staff would remember me - thus I chose this hotel with a small number of rooms in a great neighborhood and a great rooftop terrace with views over the city. I was so right!
The staff were wonderfully attentive, particularly the staff in the restaurant and everyone was friendly. I would definitely recommend the breakfast here which offers a range of foods from the lighter fruit and yogurt option to amazing hot cakes with syrup to delicious local food. There's a cold buffet at 180 pesos, a hot buffet for 225 pesos but I preferred to order a la carte which in many cases was cheaper and still set me up for walking around the rest of the day. The clientele tends to vary between smart businessmen to more creative industry people and stylish jet set types however I never felt out of place or awkward despite occasionally appearing in a pretty casual skirt and flip flops. The environment is relaxed.

The room was clean and the bed extremely comfy with a duvet. The hotel has free wi-fi throughout which is a great plus for keeping in touch with friends and family and the rooms are all fitted with Sony t.v and dvd players with dvds available for rental at the desk. The room has an enclosed balcony for those smokers out there.

Be aware- After reading reviews here I decided to bring earplugs and I was totally right to do so as between the noise from traffic in the street or from occasional events at the bar on the roof, you may find it hard to settle to sleep. That said... with earplugs in, I slept like a baby - events ended at midnight and the cleaning staff never bothered me in the morning but patiently waited till I left my room for the day. Another point to note is that the temperature drops quite alot at night in Mexico city so warm PJs are recommended.

Taxis were easily arranged for me to head to other parts of town and there is also a hotel car although I didn't use it. The real attraction for me was the rooftop terrace and bar- the terrace was the perfect place to sunbathe throughout the day with a small pool big enough to do laps and cool down. While it was sometimes closed during the day for photoshoots these tended to be over by 2pm which left pleeeenty of time to catch some rays. At night, the rooftop bar projects old movies onto the white wall of a nearby building and serves great light bites and cocktails, it was a great place to take my friends from the city who were also very impressed with the place.

Overall- I had a great time, felt really safe and welcome and am very glad that I picked this hotel for my first visit to Mexico city. While I would not recommend this place to families with young children, older couples, light sleepers or people who just want somewhere out of the way and quiet - if you want a cool place to chill by day before sightseeing and then relax in at night, this is a real gem.

“Disappointing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed there for 3 nights in early December, staff where nowhere to find when needed, first day when coming back around noon for a quick nap, I found the whole floor and obviously my room, smelling like varnish and paint, it caused my like vomiting, and as it is all closed, there was no ventilation at all and air conditioning was not working fully...

When complaining to front desk, they just seemed to ignore my complains and made me feel I was magnifing it all!!!..., but they did not want to come up to my floor to check how bad it was...

Internet service expensive and soo slow...

Restaurant too fancy for a nice and quick breakfast!!!...

I would not recommend it or go back there gain ever!!!...

“horrible customer service and they double charge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2010

The hotel is chique but I've had nothing but problems with this hotel. The rooms were generally nice but a little chilly in December - they do not have heaters! they brought in a tiny space fan-heater to heat the entire room - needless to say that it didn't work well. I wouldn't recommend staying there when it is very cold outside. There was a faint sewage like smell in the hallway - good thing they didn't have that smell in the room. Wasn't sure what to make of it. The upstairs bar was very nice, cool to hang out in and the facilities like gym seem to be pretty good although small. The biggest problem about this hotel though was the fact that they double charged by card. They said it was a deposit and it would be credited back. After I waited 10 days as per their instructions it still wasn't there. Then came the infinite number of phone calls. The people answering the phones honestly have trouble with English and kept on hanging up on me or putting on permanent hold even though they knew I was making an international call. I got given the full run around and was asked to send them copies of my credit card statement despite the fact that they agreed they double charged me! I still have not had the issue resolved. I would not stay at this hotel again. Sure go visit the bar upstairs but save yourself the fiasco of staying there. And if you must stay, I would check and double check your credit card. The customer service is honestly the worst I've encountered from a hotel that pretends to be one of the "leading small hotels of the world." Next time I see a hotel in that list I'll know it doesn't mean anything.
