احجز هذا إذا You want a stylish, mid-century modern home base in a quiet pocket of Condesa and don't mind sacrificing some modern comforts for aesthetics.
لماذا يحبها الناس
- Stunning mid-century design in a preserved 1950s building
- Rooftop terrace breakfast with jacaranda views
- Incredibly attentive staff (Maria is a legend)
نظرة سريعة: A beautiful boutique hotel that looks perfect on Instagram but struggles with infrastructure basics like reliable hot water and central air conditioning.
تمت المراجعة بواسطة @Pricelesspassport: I honestly didn't want to leave. The staff treated me like royalty for my birthday, and the free tequila bar is such a vibe. My room had a private courtyard that felt like a secret garden. It’s the perfect quiet escape in the middle of the city.

Reality check
The 'luxury' label is stretched thin when you're dealing with portable AC units and inconsistent plumbing.
- You prioritize design and architecture over hotel amenities
- You want a quiet, residential feel in the heart of Condesa
- You are visiting during mild weather (Oct-March) when AC isn't critical
النظافة والصيانة
8
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent. Staff is praised for keeping rooms tidy and organizing guest belongings.
- Bathroom hygiene: Visually clean, but marred by recurring reports of sewer smells and plumbing backups.
- Maintenance: Struggling. Peeling paint, broken ACs, and water issues suggest maintenance is reactive, not proactive.
- Linens & towels: High quality, fresh, and crisp.
- Odors & scents: Usually fresh, but the occasional sewer smell in bathrooms is a serious red flag.
