The room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Coffee shop and restaurant in the hotel made everything very convenient.
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.
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.
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!
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.
A beautiful hotel in the absolute center of Zocalo and literally steps from Temple Mayor. Perfect for those interested in the history of the city. The food was excellent and the room was gorgeous. The staff couldn’t have been any nicer.
Excellent location. Fabulous food. Service was super helpful and welcoming. Rooms are very modern.

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
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!
This is a lovely hotel with a stunning rooftop. On the rooftop there is a cold water pool which is wonderfully refreshing, a restaurant-bar, and gorgeous views of the historic centre. The room was really nicely decorated with brushed concrete and pastel cream colors. The windows of this room give onto an internal courtyard - not a big deal… for privacy you can close them. Minor suggestions: a little more little in the bathroom (mirror) and a dimmed light at the foot of the platform on which rests the bed (because it’s quite dangerous to navigate that in the dark)
The room was nice, but our room was connected to the room below via a vertical shaft (presumably for light) so that we could see into and hear the room below. We found this aspect to be unacceptable. Beyond the lack of privacy and noise, the bed was comfortable, the staff were incredibly helpful, and the roof and breakfast each morning were a highlight.
Rooms were architecturally interesting as is the entire hotel - roomy and great beds & shower. The breakfast which was included was delicious with a gorgeous setting in the rooftop across from the cathedral- with jacuzzi, sauna, small pool and deck and bar. And the rooms were QUIET. The staff was lovely. Right near the Historic Centro. Great oasis in the middle of all the history. Unique layout.
