Círculo Mexicano, a Member of Design Hotels

A beautiful escape in Mexico City. Staff were exceptional, really made me feel so welcome and looked after. Room and the hotel itself is stunning, calming, beautifully decorated. It was the perfect final stop for me after 2 bus weeks travelling across the country.

I loved the breakfast, its was so delicious and service was amazing too.

Honestly cant think of anything that I didnt like.

Great choices for breakfast and served on the beautiful roof terrace. The hotel couldn't be more central: directly opposite the Cathedral and next to the Templo Mayor.

The roads around the hotel are usually closed so often it is impossible for a car to collect/drop-off directly outside the hotel. Some of the staff could also improve their English (as the majority of guests did not speak Spanish).

The design is very cool and thoughtful. We had superior larger rooms in overlooking the square, which were very good size.

Quite a few things: - water in the pool is ice cold. It is not intended for people to swim, but rather to get in and out when it is hot - breakfast included are a complete disaster: super limited offer and namely says “1 piece of bread”. There are no European options like avocado toast or similar (no French toast or pancakes, you can forget about it). Most people took poached eggs, black coffee (cappuccino not included), and pay additional for avocado (in Mexico…). The restaurant staff is super slow, brings wrong staff and doesn’t speak English. Takes ages to have a simple breakfast. Salt is not on the table and they have to fetch it, usually takes 5 minutes. Basically, you end up paying for it to get anything “extra” normal. - water in the rooms is limited to 1 carafe. They don’t have more carafes in the hotel is you ask for it. - bathroom on the ground floor is not for customers, but for staff only. So if you are waiting for a taxi, please go upstairs to use wc. - no coffee/tea, sleepers, bathrobes or similar in the rooms - reception female staff is not very fast and not particularly welcoming. Very factual, and slow with any requests. These are just a few to name. Since this hotel has been in a few city guides and designer magazines like Cabana, it turned out very disappointing
