This is not a hotel...

Liked: Good location. Nice breakfast. Original house.
Disliked: It just doesn’t work for someone going to Mexico for work. The hot water didn’t function properly, I had to turn on the hot water of the shower 7-10 minutes before actually getting it hot. No iron at the room. The breakfast was nice but very slow.

Liked: kindness of the staff.design and decoration !!location perfect in the middle of Polanco

Charming boutique hotel in a...

Liked: Nice quiet location, just off the main street in Polanco with lots of high end shops and restaurants. Very safe neighbourhood and great for a morning run. Room was fine, nothing special but clean and tidy and hot drinks and free filtered water just outside. The building is charming like an old small mansion. No external noise from the room. Highlight was the cooked breakfasts which were excellent. 24 hour check in available. Very comfortable bedding.
Disliked: The aircon was quite noisy and we couldn't adjust it, so we had a stream of air blowing into us in bed.

We would return.

Liked: Super location Beautiful property Loved the decor of our room!

Charming Hotel with Great Service,...

Liked: The location is excellent — right off the main street in Polanco, surrounded by beautiful, high-end shopping and top-tier restaurants. The hotel itself has stunning Mexican character and felt both elegant and secure. Everyone on staff was polite, helpful, and genuinely friendly. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the complimentary hallway snacks. Breakfast was a highlight thanks to the fresh orange juice, delicious omelette, and chance to meet others. My room was lovely and offered a relaxing view of the nature outside. I also really valued the local dining recommendations.
Disliked: A few comfort issues made the stay feel more like an 8.5 than the 9.0 it’s rated. The bathroom was cramped, with a sink area that felt too tight to use comfortably. The shower water didn’t get hot enough and took a while to warm up, and the toilet was oddly loud. Also, the hair dryer was underpowered - not what I’d expect from a hotel that touts Michelin-level quality. Breakfast outside of the omelette was disappointing: the chilaquiles and huevos rojos fell flat.
