This hotel is a very good value for the price. The room we occupied has a sitting area on the first level, with stairs up to a loft-like space on the second level. It's precarious to go from level 2 to level 1 in the middle of the night unless you keep a light on downstairs. We navigated it OK; it's something to consider if you have trouble with stairs. We're not used to having a wooden vanity top that absorbs water from the wash basin, so it felt a bit strange. The flip side, the toilet and shower are separate from the wash basin, so if you are more than one, you don't necessarily have to wait for someone to finish using the bathroom to brush your teeth. There was potable water in a cooler just outside the room. The loveseat in the sitting area sags; probably would be good to replace it. There are two public bathroom stalls outside the room which makes it convenient for multiple guests after a few days of eating street food. We didn't really find many amenities in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, but we liked coming home to the cozy room after a long day running around Condesa, Roma, and Polanco. And the room was quiet at night. Even with the door open on the second level to let in some air, we hear very little noice. Our host, Carlos Alberto, was gracious to meet us upon our relatively late arrival, which was due to a highly recommended visit to Los Güeros for 18-peso tacos between the airport and his hotel. My only regret is that we didn't try the hotel restaurant during our stay.
