Lovely first stay in Mexico City

Character of the building. Felt you were in a grand old Mexican house. Location was ideal for Zocalo and historic area and close to metro Clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast. Staff couldn’t do enough for you

Beautiful hotel with great staff, wonderful food, and very comfortable rooms

The interior design was beautiful! A free cocktail at the bar when we arrived was a real surprise and much needed after traveling all day. The bar/restaurant was gorgeous! Didn’t eat there since we had reservations elsewhere. The staff are very helpful. We also included breakfast with our stay and it was excellent! Our bed was very comfortable, the room well appointed, and clean. The hotel is walking distance to many important spots

The square that the hotel is located is a bit rough.

Great location beautiful hotel

Loved this location, we had thought about being closer to the Zocalo but on visiting there, we are really glad we booked this location. Earlier we'd stayed in the colonia La Condesa area and it was fantastic but we wanted to experience something different on our return. This is a great hotel in a beautiful building, breakfast was included and yummy. Huge room, with a seperate sitting area by the balcony.

Noisy but we were in mexico and had gotten used to it. There was a wedding there our first night right outside our door, so ear plugs were used that night. but thats life.

Beautiful hotel in super central location

Beautiful building & super centrally located for exploring the Centro area in CDMX. Room had everything needed, enormous bed, premium shower products, pod coffee machine, fridge etc. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the welcome drink in the rooftop restaurant was a lovely touch. Breakfast delicious & staff very attentive. Would recommend if wanting to be in the centre of the city!

There seemed to be a canabis smoking area (maybe protest or demo) in the square infront of the hotel so slightly off putting. I know this would be outside of the control of the hotel, it itself and all the facilities were great.

Fantastic location and luxury.

Location was fantastic. 5 mins walk from the main square, cathedral and wonderful site Templo Mayor. High class restaurant in the hotel. All around excellent service.

Small hotel, do not expect much extra facilities like a bar or sports room.

Fabulous

Casa de la Luz is a charming and beautifully designed hotel that made our stay in Mexico City very enjoyable. The staff were incredibly suave and attentive, always making sure we felt welcome and taken care of. We had dinner at their rooftop restaurant on our last night. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. To make the evening even better, there was a mariachi group performing, adding a lively and fun atmosphere.

The only downside was a strange smell that came in whenever we opened the window, which was a bit unpleasant. However, it didn’t take away too much from our overall experience.

A Luxurious Stay in Historic Hotel steps from the Palacio National Square

We stayed in the Historic Center for one evening on Christmas night until we got a longer stay in a different part of town. It was incredible. Close to everything and very quiet at night. The staff was lovely. The accommodations were incredible. The breakfast was amazing! It was also a very historic hotel which made our first night in town so fun!

There only thing was that the key for the room was a little tricky. You had to lock both sides of the door because we didn't see a way to bolt/latch when you were in the room with the key. Very minor detail

Very nice and charming hotel

Great location and close to the historic centre Beautiful building Excellent bfast and many option to chose from Very clean Lovely members of staff and very helpful Very comfortable bed and pillows Nice bar and restaurant

It can get noisy within the hotel as rooms are not properly insulated (you can hear people in other rooms, music, staff being noisy at early hours of the morning etc) so if you are a light sleeper this may be a problem Lastly, it is extremely expensive to book the airport transport with them so use uber if you can it will save you some money

Character hotel with great staff very well located

Lovely old building , great staff , lovely big room and comfortable bed

No inviting lounge /bar area (but that doesnt matter as much in Mexico city with endless bars and restaurants as it would elsewhere ) and breakfast doesn’t start till 8 so I havent had one. Having said that they packed me a tasty breakfast a few times when I asked the night before so I surmise the food is good.

Incredible, everything was incredible…except for the single restaurant experience

Location was great, but staff was unbelievably helpful

The roof top restaurant could use some help with their waiters. Only had dinner there once on the first night, didn’t give them a second chance. Could have been an off night??

Overall, our stay at Casa de la Luz was superb. I'd give the staff SIX stars out of a possible 5!

Breakfast at Casa de la Luz is nothing less than exquisite. Not only is the Oaxacan-inspired menu vast and appealing, but the food is delicious. We enjoyed a complete breakfast -- all-inclusive and consisting of fantastic coffee, juice, bread, pastries, fruit, and entrèe -- every day during our stay. Tremendous fuel for busy days of sight-seeing!

This is so minor, but the weak flushing toilets situated throughout the hotel induced an unexpected level of irritation. Such an inconvenience is really not the hotel's fault, but more a reality of an ancient infrastructure that's endemic to Mexico City. Nevertheless, being able to "go" without worrying about whether the toilet is going to flush is something I didn't expect to have to think about.

It provided a peaceful refuge in the middle of one of the largest/busiest cities in the world.

The included breakfast was wonderful. The historical aspects of the building was fantastic and it felt like I was in Mexico City. Much better than a chain hotel offering in my opinion.

Nothing to say in the negative about this hotel.

The staff were very warm and welcoming. One of the bell men, the front desk lady, and especially the server Alex went the extra mile to give us tips for our stay. The food and drinks at the restaurant upstairs were exceptional and the staff/servers made it a fun time. It’s such a beautiful place to stay and I can see why many people like to get married there! The room decor/design was the perfect match of historic with modern touches. It had high ceilings and made it feel even more spacious than it already is.

The only thing that went wrong was the refrigerator not working to full capacity to keep our drinks cold.

Perfect located excellent newly renovated hotel with fascinating history but unengaged staff.

Amazing hotel with perfect location for visiting the historical centre. Rooms where big, comfortable beds and clean. Air condition effective. Good value for money.

The staff was not up to a five star hotel. Some were excellent but some had a stiff upper lip attitude. Compared to the other hotels in Mexico we visited they were not as helpful and engaged. Sad for such a nice hotel otherwise. There was no information in the room about neither the service in the hotel nor the history of the hotel. It was once Cortez house so got some story to tell.

Great old world atmosphere and superior customer service!

The hotel is a beautiful historic building with a great location in Mexico City's cultural center. It has an exceptional restaurant and serves a wonderful breakfast with several delicious options. The staff provides exceptional customer service.

Given the historic nature of the building, my standard room was was small with a cramped bathroom but I understand the superior rooms are larger with windows. Bed gets a B+ for comfort however plenty of terrific pillows!

Perfect blend of history and luxury, location and aesthetics

The hotel is in a beautifully restored historic building, with friendly helpful staff. The hotel is located steps from the Zocalo and many museums in the historic center. The interiors include a first rate amenities, while the decor includes beautiful tile floors, stone walls, and palatial grand stair to descend every morning. Amazing dining and breakfast experiences: The breakfast, included in our rate, was gourmet, generous, and authentic Mexican (or American if you like). The rooftop terrace restaurant Tezontle was casually elegant, breezy and cool, with amazing cocktails (their Mojito Santo is an experience!), friendly wait staff, and delicious menu that made us want to come back again and again. We dined there for 4 of our 8 evenings in Mexico City, it was so delicious, and the menu so varied. Highly recommend!

Nothing to do with the Hotel itself, but the traffic in the city is so intense, it was sometimes a long wait to get an Uber to arrive. Always give yourself lots of spare time! Also, the City is so big that no matter where you stay, historic center included, you will find yourself taking some fairly long taxi rides to get to other neighborhoods. Again, this would be true no matter where in CDMX you stay!

Very good

Location was fabulous if you want to be right in the historic center. Staff were friendly and helpful. Space is beautiful. We felt safe and especially appreciated the interactions with the late night front desk and security who were kind and accommodating as we came and went from the hotel. The included breakfast is also fantastic and the staff in the restaurant are superb.

We had some serious problems with our initial room, after speaking with the desk we received a room change the second space was perfect. However this hotel is best for midweek travelers. During the weekend you have a Disco next door that will seriously change the otherwise peaceful vibe of the space.
