I had a wonderful stay at Casa Altata during my solo trip to Mexico City. I really enjoyed this boutique hotel, set in a beautifully updated and designed historic building. Older buildings naturally come with a few quirks—there are only stairs, and I occasionally experienced some low water pressure. I was very happy with my choice to stay here and felt safe and comfortable.
I had been a little concerned about noise because of some reviews I had read, but I actually found the atmosphere very pleasant. I loved opening the French doors during the day, and at night I closed them and wore earplugs, which I do in any city because I’m sensitive to noise. I didn’t have any issues with noise from within the hotel and didn’t have any hot water issues that some other reviews mentioned. The deluxe room was a nice size, but there was only space for two suitcases plus small bags, so keep that in mind.
The breakfast was excellent, and a highlight of my stay was getting to know some of the staff. During the day, I especially enjoyed chatting with Majo, Mari, and Sam. They were friendly and kind and gave me recommendations that helped make my trip even better. I appreciated that there was someone available at all hours.
The location in Condesa was wonderful. I loved the tree-lined streets and wandering around. I found it helpful to speak some Spanish, but you could certainly get by without it.
Overall, Casa Altata was a charming, comfortable, and memorable place to stay, and I plan to ret
