Hippodrome Hotel Condesa

First time in Mexico City, made a great choice with Hippodrome Hotel. Quick visit with my daughter and this hotel was the perfect base for a great stay. Was struck by the hospitality and warmth of the staff. They are always available in the lobby, interested in your plans and happy to offer recommendations or advice. The accommodations were modern and clean with an elegant, moody sophisticated vibe for the decor. Great bed, loved the nespresso machine in the room and powerful air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The Condesa neighborhood is just teaming with great cafes and restaurants and of course all the beautiful parks. The location felt very safe and convenient for our visit. I will come back again, 2 nights was not enough to see everything in Mexico City. When I return I’ll definitely stay at the Hippodrome Hotel.

The location near Parque México is excellent and the executive suite was spacious. However, it was not worth over 300 dollars a night given that they”cheap out” on amenities. First of all there is a nespresso machine, but they only provide 2 capsules per visit, in my case six nights, and then charge 2 dollars for each additional capsule. Very petty considering that a $100 per night hotel where I stayed provided 4 capsules per night. They only provide 1 bathrobe for 2 guests. There was no iron or board in room, but apparently they went out to buy one when I asked for one. It appears that the tiny soap has to last me a week too. They don’t provide any shower gel. There are 2 medium size towels for 2 guests so forget about wrapping your wet hair in one. I had safety concerns. For one, I returned to the room to find the cleaner had left the door ajar for anyone to come in and help themselves.

Beautiful stay Very sweet boutique hotel. It is a conversion from an old building and has a vintage elevator. Great service all around.
