Casa de la Condesa, Roma Norte

loved this mexican style hotel infront of a park. Able to visit lots of turists spots, as turibus stops right near by. Friendly staff, neat gelateria, fun restaurants nearby. Great price, especially since there are now new offers at low prices

Service: When we arrived, the girl at the counter told us about 3 different rooms and rates available. We did not plan do spend much time in the room and so dispite her high-pressure tactics, I told her that the cheaper ($650) room would be fine "as long as everything works." The trick is called "bait and switch" and in the "bait" room almost nothing works. You will not get internet or hot water. The TV is a 12in model. If you complain, you will be offered the switch. It's an upgraded room which costs nearly double. They did offer to give us another cheap room but acknowledged that (acording to plan) it would be no better. The irony is that for that price, you can stay at a much better hotel in a much better location. We did! Try the CityExpress. The address is: Havre #21 and they are located 1/2 block from Reforma next to a very upscale plaza (Reforma 222). You should be able to negociate a rate of $850 per night for a brand new hotel with great internet, unlimited hot water and a free breakfast. I'm sad to say that THEY GOT US! We were tired and decided to pay the difference and switch to something better the next day. My review is of the upgraded room since we were forced to reject the "cheap" room. Finally, I found their attitude to be arrogant. It's a small hotel with a rickety elevator that smells bad -and they called me "cheap" !! Cleanliness: Below average. The bathroom was about average in terms of cleanliness but has a sewer smell, the carpet was much dirtier than average. (Wear white socks when you walk on the carpet and you will see what I mean!) I'd say that although the room, hallways, elevator, etc. were far from imaculate, they were tolerable for a single night. CityExpress, by comparison, is very clean. Location: The hotel is NOT in Condesa. It's actually in La Roma in a fairly decent area crime-wise but not as safe as Reforma and far from the restaurants and night life of La Condesa. Unfortunately, it is far from everything we wanted to see and you'll have to do everything by taxi since it's far from any public transportation. (Mexico City has a pretty decent mass transit system) I mentioned the CityExpress earlier in my review and make the point again that they have a much better location and are very close to several mass transit stops. Value: I think that the cost and value are way out of line. I further believe that this is deliberate. I support this conclusion with the comparisons I have made with CityExpress. Conclusion: I wouldn't recommend staying at Casa de la Condesa. Their behavior is unethical and it is a poor value. There are many other inexpensive hotels in mexico city that are much better. It was an unpleasand experience. We will not return

The hotel is located in front of a small park in a quiet residential section of Colonia Roma, and not in the more fashionable Colonia Condesa as the name might suggest. There are still plenty of friendly bars and restaurants close by. The ice cream shop, the wine bar and the Italian restaurant all located in front of the park on the same street block are great places to enjoy the local neighborhood lifestyle. There is a convenient "sitio de taxi" at the corner of the park for safe and inexpensive trips to all locations in the city. The hotel is just two blocks away from the larger Alvaro Obregon Avenue if you want to catch a bus or you can walk in 15 to 20 minutes to Colonia Condesa, Zona Rosa / Reforma Avenue and the subway station. The Jr suite was large enough to accommodate 4 people (in 3 beds) but relatively dark as the window gave on the hallway of the patio. The kitchen with microwave and mini fridge was very convenient. The bathroom was clean but very small. For 2 people, I recommend the rooms with a view on the park. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall a good choice for a room below 100$ per night if you want to avoid the larger tourist and business hotels of Zona Rosa, Reforma or Polanco.

The hotel is great. It is located in spectacular zone where you can walk around and learn about the history of Mexico City, expecially the time when Porfirio Diaz was in power. We had an amazing time while we stayed at the hotel. It is very near to the bars in the Condesa zone, so if you are looking to have a good time you can go there. The hotel has a calm atmosphere and the personnel are very helpful. The wireless internet service is the best I used in Mexico City. I truly recommend this place. Besides, the rooms are designed in a beautiful Mexican style color combination.

Casa de la Condesa is a wonderful place to stay if you visit Mexico City. It is not your tipical huge American hotel, it is a European style hotel. Boutique hotel. It is good if you want to relax in Mexico City, and take a stroll around the Condesa and Roma neigberhoods. I would recommend the hotel, absolutely. The internet connection is really good, wireless.

Overall, I must say I had a good time at Casa de la Condesa in Mexico City. The service was above average, the people are very kind with you. If you want to go chill in Mexico City it a great place to stay at and relax in this calm part of Mexico City. It very close to the Condesa bars where you will have a fabulous time. If you are a tourist that comes to Mexico this is your option since it is good and you can get it at an affordable price.

Casa de la Condesa is a great hotel if you are going to go to Mexico for business. The service is good since the staff is there to help you in whatever thing you might need, I must say they were always very helpful in calling me a cab. I really liked the zone because it is a calm part of Mexico City where you can relax from all the noise the city normally has around the financial district. It has a certain European vibe that makes you feel welcome. Overall, it was good to get a hotel room at Casa de la Condesa.

Our trip to Mexico City was great thanks to the staff of Casa de la Condesa. The hotel is really nice. It is situated in a very nice area, where you can walk around and learn about the history of Mexico. The people in the hotel are very friendly and they do everything to help you out with whatever you need. The plaza of the hotel is very nice.

Casa de la Condesa provided me with an excellent place to stay while I was on my business trip to Mexico City. I must congratulate them on the wireless internet service that is superb. The place is quite nice and the staff is helpful. If you are going on business to Mexico City it is a great place to stay at. All my needs were satisfied and the people at the desk always called the taxis that would come for me that would take me to my meetings. The place is a cultural site, if you like to learn about Mexican culture this is the place to go to. The good thing about it is that it is placed in a part of the city where it is calm and you can forget about all the hassles of this huge city in Latin America. I would recommend Casa de la Condesa if you want to be confortable while staying in Mexico City.

This Hotel is what a hotel should be. The service is fabulous. The people in the Hotel help you out with whatever you need. The hotel rooms are painted in really nice colors, Mexican style.
