Definitely exceeded expectations!

Liked: The hotel is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff is very attentive and we received an exceptional service. We loved the breakfast and the cafe inside the hotel. Lots of nice touches that add up, like cold water bottles, apples, etc.
Disliked: The only little thing that really didn't change the experience is that the water pressure is a bit irregular and the shower can be a bit small. But those are minor things.

We had a wonderful two...

Liked: Absolutely everything! A truly beautiful hotel.

I would recommend this hotel...

Liked: The hotel is in the middle of the old town, everything in the historic centre is walking distance.Hotel guests can enjoy a 3-hour free walking tour which was really informative, we learned s lot about CDMX. To top it off the hotel offers free food and drinks 24 hours, perfect gor guests coming from Europe who have their mealtimes a bit mixed up due to the different timezone.During our departure our driver could not reach the hotel due to some demonstrations and therefore closed streets. In a heartbeat the staff organized 2 rikshas to take us and our luggage (4 people-3 week trip through Mexico) to the place where the driver was waiting. A staffmember accompanied us, to make sure we were ok. That is what we call excellent service. (We have stayed in a lot of top class, large, small and as well charming hotels all over the world, therefore have some experience)

Passable

A great place to stay...

Liked: Location, comfortable beds, superior breakfast, parking and the gracious and helpful staff.
Disliked: Nothing.

Classic international chic with a...

Liked: This was one of those rare experiences - a chic, relaxed, international hotel that was distinctly local in atmosphere. For example, there is a small bar-café in the lobby that is open all the time where you can get lots of local Mexican food and beverages at no cost if you are staying there - with the exception of alcoholic drinks which are available for a small charge. The room we had overlooked the street with two small Juliette balconies. The room had very high ceilings, a very comfortable bed, a refrigerator stocked with drinks and a very clean bathroom en suite. There were comfortable sitting areas on our floor and in the extensive lobby. The breakfasts were excellent - where we sat next to a living wall of plants. The hotel is located in the historical central district where we could visit the political activities in the Zocalo nearby, the national art gallery, many other local sites, and also find connections to transit for tours. The streets are lively. The restaurants in the area are great with a wide range of styles, foods, and prices. The people in the hotel are very friendly and very helpful. The local people we met in that district of Mexico City were very kind and helpful to us. This was a great place to stay
Disliked: The protests in the Zocalo by the encamped teachers on strike, whom we support absolutely, meant that getting a taxi to and from the hotel and airport was incredibly difficult. We had to walk the last few blocks to our hotel when we arrived. The hotel could do more to warn visitors before their arrival and perhaps give visitors some detailed instructions to give the taxi drivers. As we are both older and not from a high altitude location, the 2500 feet above sea level was a little hard on us. Add to that the fact that the air in Mexico City is somewhat hazy and polluted, and that it was quite hot, we found walking a little difficult. We opted for the scenic tour buses and Uber. The beautiful hotel and the kind people everywhere made up for the difficulties we experienced.
