We had a perfect stay at the downtown hotel. It was an escape from the happy chaos of the Centro during the World Cup. This hotel fills so many needs. It is a historic building filled with important art pieces, it has great restaurants, an incredible atmosphere and a friendly staff. Highly recommmeded!

Fantastic hotel. The breakfast was a highlight. Be warned that the bathrooms, though beautiful, were “open concept”. The location between the Palacio de Belles Artes and the Cathedral, right next to a wonderful walking street was perfect. No taxis needed!

All the staff are helpful and friendly. The experience probably depends on which room you are allocated. I booked a queen room. It turned out to have no window, very dark, and the high ceiling gives a creepy feeling. I acknowledge this may be a personal taste.

The room was beautiful and huge. It was loud outside (our room faced the street), but with the fan on and the doors closed it was fine. We didn't need the ear plugs the hotel provided. Room was a bit dark with the windows closed, though. Lights were dim. Very romantic!

I suggested on our last nite that breakfast plates should be pre-heated especially that mornings are pretty chilly. On the morning we left, I got a nice surprise with an omelette, fried beans and sautéed zucchini with corn on a hot plate! Just the best!

Downtown Hotel Mexico, was fantastic. Great location in the hub of the city, a short walk to the main square & cathedral. The hotel is in a historic building, which has a lively vibe with 2 restaurants in its coutyard. For more of a relaxing atmosphere, head to the rooftop bar & pool, which have great views of the rooftops. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful, with the hotel in great condition, clean, given the age of the historic building. If you are after a quiet retreat, it may not be your cup of tea, but we loved it!!

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.

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.

The hotel is located in a beautiful ancient house in the centre of historic Mexico city. The courtyard with its restaurant is the real gem of the property. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our room was very spacious with a balcony over the street and a super comfy bed with the softest bed sheets. It was truly a luxurious stay!

Beautiful hotel & stay! LOVE that the hotel has shops and restaurant (make sure you make reservations). The only suggestion to hotel is to give guests more light options in room. It was quite dark. Other than that, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Love DOWNTOWN!

The physical hotel is impressive! High ceiling, open space, very clean and easy to get around. I would only suggest a little more lighting by the stairs and elevator—it’s safe but just dark.

Delightful Downtown Hotel

I travel to Mexico often and this cdmx visit was my 4th time there but first time at Downtown hotel. Great cheaper spot if you want to stay in the center. Rooftop pool was fabulous as was the rooms. Everything clean and well kept. Free breakfast was fantastic! Special thanks to Luis my daily breakfast server…kind, professional, and helpful person! Check out Downtown Hotel!!
