We felt so well cared for at La Palomilla...it was like spending a long weekend in someone's home. The rooms are cozy but beautifully designed and laid out and, in our case, comfortably accommodated two people and two small dogs. The included breakfast is a delight, and so are all the people at La Palomilla. Can't recommend it enough..it's a comfy haven in a very big city. And the neighborhood could not be better!

Dear Guest- Your request came in for a standard bedroom, we sent you an email stating it was a double bed and if you wanted an upgrade. You did not reply. Once you arrived, we offered you an upgrade to a 2 bed suite for 30 usd extra and you stated it was only one night and that a double bed was fine. In our policies, we specify that all valuables should be in the safety deposit box for your and our piece of mind. You signed these policies yet you did not use the safety box at any time. Our maid was in your room for 10 minutes tidying up your bed. We have that on our cameras. She did not come close to your wallet as per our policy. We believe this is an unfair and biased review and we are sad that you believe our whole service was deserving of a ¨1¨. That being said, we did give you a gift card to use for one year to compensate your discontent. We wish you all the best.

Fantastic staff!!
The staff at La Palomilla are awesome - incredibly friendly and amazingly accommodating. The room I had was spacious and the bed was enormous! A perfect place to explore La Condesa from. I also used their airport transfer service which was safe, secure and the details were really well communicated during my travels.

The staff was so friendly and wonderful. The rooms are small but clean and beautifully decorated with lots of light. Amenities are wonderful, from the towels and bathrobes to the snacks in the room and the modern bathroom facilities. We didn’t eat breakfast but it looked and smelled great, and coffee was available any time in the kitchen. Terrace is also a lovely place to relax. Location is perfect for walking around Condesa and Roma, and short easy Uber from most other places you might want to go. Would absolutely stay again.

Over priced bed and breakfast but well located
This is place is not a three star hotel is an over priced bed and breakfast! The water coming through the pipes were yellow, the shower pressure was so low that you could hardly wash your hair! There is water problem in Condesa area but the yellow water was due to old pipes! The room that was advertised as junior suite was so small that you could hardly move around. The double room was for a single person not a couple! There is no 24/7 reception! I arrived early morning and the place didn’t expect me to arrive until 11am! ( my fault as I didn’t check the flight times properly) but then had to wait for 20min at 5:30 am to finally wake a gentleman up to let me in! He was nice enough to immediately accommodate me but the rooms weren’t cleaned throughly. Next day they did cleaned the rooms though! The staff were friendly and overall everyone very polite!

Thank you for your comment. We strive on giving the best service possible and your feedback is very valuable for us. We´re sorry for the water! Mexico City had a city wide shutdown during your stay. We had filters and stored water for the emergency but it was not enough. The good thing is that everything is now back in shape in Mexico City and the pressure and water are back to normal. We believe there was a miss communication as check in is not until 3 pm. We´re glad you found Gerardo and the staff friendly, helpful and polite! We look forward to serving you again. All the best!

Well located hotel near Contremar, a great restaurant a few blocks away. Also walking distance to the tourist bus which is a nice way to start your stay in the city, I loved the good attention to detail with cool art and decorative pieces throughout. The rooms are not large at all but very comfortable and make up with good decoration and style, Very friendly and helpful people at the front desk. I would stay there again and highly recommend la Palomilla!

BEWARE! THIEVES ON STAFF!
BEWARE! THIEVES! Our spare wallet was stolen from our backpack, that was packed away deeply in the room. The wallet contained some money and some credit cards. The worst part of our loss was they also stole our permanent residency cards which will be very difficult to replace. The hotel did not have the room safe open when we arrived and I was foolish enough not to take the extra step to have the staff open the safe the next day (my fault... but we were busy and too trusting). I heard from the staff that robberies have happened here before and that management needed to fire several employees. It looks like they will have to go down the same path to prevent future problems. DO NOT STAY HERE. We also had some minor issues with the hot water and a boiler that kept firing all night long that kept us up but those problems were actively worked and resolved during our stay.

We are sorry this unfortunate event happened to you during your visit to Mexico City and saddened that you are under the impression it happened here. It’s unfortunate that you chose not to use the safety deposit box in your room. We insist guests use their private safe for peace of mind. I realize how jarring it must be to find your wallet missing. That said, you checked in on Tuesday and did not inform us of the missing items until Saturday. We were surprised again when you did not want us to accompany you to file a police report. During any trip one visits various shops, restaurants, museums, cabs, and city streets; as such, we are not responsible for personal items. We are located in one of the most secure neighborhoods in Mexico City and provide each safe as a courtesy. This incident is the first time we hear of anything going missing at our place (with or without use of the safe). Our staff is our family and has been with us from the very beginning and we trust them completely. While we are glad the minor problems were quickly resolved during your stay, we wish your overall experience matched the excitement and effort we put into your stay. Our guests are our livelihood and when they are affected, we are affected.

Wonderful stay at La Palomilla
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at La Palomilla. The host was really nice and even left breakfast out for us after we overslept the regular breakfast hours. The place was clean and in a great location. The doors are rather thin so you can hear some noise/echoes from inside the building, but nothing crazy. The shower pressure one day was very light and it took a long time for the water to get warm. On subsequent days the shower worked beautifully, so perhaps this was a fluke. All in all a wonderful stay at a wonderful place in CDMX!

Great location, super friendly staff
We had a great 4 nights stay at La Palomilla It's a truest personal little boutique hotel with very welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast is freshly made every morning, local mexican style. the only disappointing thing was that the rooms were quite small, but the staff said they are working on a better solution with their architect to accommodate guests in the future. we had a little trouble fitting our hand luggage open on the floor, it was that small. Otherwise, I great hotel surrounded by many great bars, restaurants in one of CDMX coolest new neighborhoods.

Thanks so much for your kind review Marie! We suggest you stay in our bigger rooms for your next stay as the master master suites have more space and are more comfortable even though we offer the same services for all rooms. We want you to feel at home always so we are glad you were happy with the staff and with Ale's yummy Mexican breakfast. Saludos and see you soon!

Nice but.......
Rooms were new but small (kept hitting my head on wall decor). Bathroom was great. Layout of common space and entry allowed for a lot of noise to rise to the guest rooms making it very noisy at all hours. Arrangements for transportation to/from the airport were not well coordinated and cost a premium.
Response from General Manager on 2016/11/28
Hello! Thank you for your review! We´re glad you liked the bathroom :D About the noise, we appreciate the feedback. We are working on it as we speak, as we are installing shutters on the windows that are directed towards the patio so that the sound won´t travel any longer. As you know we are a brand new b&b and are working out the kinks.. we want your next stay to be absolutely perfect. Saludos y gracias!

Don't stay here for more than 50 usd a night
This is an old hotel which was renovated, they did a nice job but they do not advertise that the bathroom is OUTSIDE your room. For 159 dollars it's crazy to have get dressed in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Also the electrical wiring is old , so the heater for the room did not work, so I was cold all night. If you can get this hotel for $50 a night , that is what is worth. No a penny more.

Hi!! Thanks so much for your review. As you mentioned, we have only been open for a few weeks and we want our guests to have the best experience possible. As a result of your kind review, we had robes made for the junior suites, as we will be adding them this week. We have also lowered the price on this bedroom, and have added the note on expedia and booking that this room has its own private bathroom right outside the bedroom. So sorry we didn't know the heater wasn't working! Rafa is on site so that he can help you with anything you need at night and Vero or myself can help out during the day. Your suggestions really helped us! All the best!
