best hotel in Mexico City by far. The location can’t be beat and the view from the rooftop is unreal. service is excellent and we spend most of our time between the rooftop sauna and jacuzzi. The design and layout is stunning, you are lucky if you have the opportunity to stay here.

The breakfast was a great highlight, we found ourselves to be excited for what pastry selection we were going to be offered each day as they were one of the best we’ve had. Also, inside the hotel there is absolutely no issues with the noise from outside, at least in the room we were in, but the rooftop and as soon as you exit the hotel means that you entering a busy and touristy area.

Loved the hotel, staff and amazing location. Just be aware the hotel is across the street from an historic cathedral that is closed to taxis/ubers so you need to walk a couple of blocks to get picked up or dropped off. But the location is totally worth it!

Zen space in historic city centre

Círculo is a revelation. Beautifully designed bedrooms, friendly staff and a thoughtful space. The roof top is well thought out. The bar could be more lively - it was empty most of the time and smoking is not permitted. But overall wonderful stay.

This hotel was probably one of the nicest hotels I've had the pleasure of staying at. Incredible facilities, cleanliness, and the staff were so kind and helpful. The surrounding area was not my favourite as there were lots of people and many big box shops vs. smaller local boutiques. Despite this, it was worth it to see the historic area and buildings that are famous to Mexico City. The building design and the room with all of the finishings were stunning and minimal but especially comfortable, providing an oasis in the middle of a fairly busy district. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I, wouldn’t bother making reservations here staff is not helpful and don’t care to help in any way, shape or form. The property looks nice in pictures and videos, but what makes it a better experience are the staff in any establishment, like any other business. The quality of the business is a reflection of its staff. There’s probably better options in and around the area. I would definitely stay away from círculo Mexicano
