All you need to know
Stella Bed and Breakfast is a little cozy accommodation located on Amsterdam Avenue in Mexico City. Like other historical buildings in the city, this house also depicts an old yet modern charm that guests absolutely love when they stay here. The house was built in 1930 by one of the greatest architects of that time, Francisco Serrano. Stella was restored in 2010 while keeping many aspects of the original design. Since then, the house has been a favorite spot to stay among locals and tourists.
The interior of Stella portrays a mix of modern and vintage furniture and art items. Each piece in the house has been chosen carefully to match the vibes of its original look. There are seven rooms in the house; four in the main house and three rooms are in a guest house next to it. Those who love sustainable living would specifically adore this house, as it uses solar panels and a water treatment plant.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Colonia Condesa and is near to public transportation, museums, and many famous tourist attractions. The Chapultepec Castle is only 8 minutes drive away from the accommodation, while the Angel of Independence is only 2.5 km away. The National Museum of Anthropology is only 3.4 km away from the hotel. The hotel offers a delicious buffet breakfast that is included in your booking. Enjoy fresh fruits, coffee, bread, and a variety of Mexican breakfast dishes such as eggs a la Mexicana and enchiladas.

Nice, calm, kind staff, delicious breakfasts, convenient and well located.
Very nice and kind staff. Breakfasts were delicious and varied. Property was mostly quiet at night, some traffic in the early morning was noisy.
Sink next to the bed was interesting and kept the spirit of the original construction, I guess, but it wasn't easy to keep the floor and bed dry when using it. A small desk or even a laptop stand would have been great. Comment above spoke of the traffic noise.

Lovely boutique experience in charming neighbourhood
We were so, so pleased with our stay at Stella. Our room was cozy, clean, full of light, and had great local art on the walls. The location was perfect-- close to everything we wanted, and in a super walkable neighbourhood full of cute shops and restaurants. Staff were attentive, and the free breakfast was delicious. Couldn't have asked for more.
Honestly nothing, we were really satisfied.

Perfect location in an upscale neighborhood with lots of restaurants and coffee shops.
Included breakfast was prepared in the quaint kitchen next to the dining room, the four tables set with cute tablecloths. Charming!

Lovely, peaceful place to stay
I loved my room and the fact I could get into the dining area to make tea early in the morning and in the evening. Also my pillows were perfect for my neck. And I appreciated I could open my windows to get fresh air. It was also the perfect location, near to restaurants, the park, and other stores.
Would have loved to have someone come in and replenish the water in my room and dump the trash on my second day.

Beautiful, Friendly Stay!
We absolutely loved staying here. Perfect location on quiet, beautiful, tree-lined Avenida Amsterdam in Condesa - easy walking to many areas of interest or to the Chilpancingo subway station. The house is lovely with eclectic decor and not too fancy. Our room (#4) had an amazing private terrace. We also appreciated the huge bathtub after long days of walking and/or getting caught in the rain. The staff were so friendly, and it was so great to have a delicious, home-cooked breakfast every day! We will definitely be coming back!

Great location in the heart of Condesa. Nice breakfast included.
Unreliable hot water. There is no sign outside so a bit difficult to find. You need to use the street number

Fabulous
Lovely staff and spacious and bright room with terrace
Taps were loose and there are some leaks (bathtub and sink)
26 June 2024
The neighborhood, food and staff were lovely but the plumbing was a problem.
They cooked a tasty and varied breakfast. The street and neighborhood were lush and beautiful. There were excellent and affordable restaurants and stores nearby.
The shower did not have reliable hot water. We had to move one day to another room.

Lovely property in a comfortable setting.
Oasis setting in a great location. Very walkable to restaurants and public transportation. Safe and secure property. Room was comfortable, shower worked well. Relaxing environment. Breakfast was delicious and changed daily. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Room was teeny tiny, but adequate for one person. The climb up the stairs to the room may be daunting for some.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast in the heart of La Condesa
Breakfast was fantastic, as well as accommodations. Stella exceeded our expectations. The convenient location and tree lined streets make a return definite.
The weather was a bit warm, but that’s not an issue. The evenings cooled the room down quickly.

charming place in great location, good value for the money
great location, super kind and helpful staff, nice simple breakfast
had a budget single - u get what u pay for - an anex at the back of the villa, room got very hot during the day (few very hot days) - a ventilator would make a lot of difference, shower was not working well

Perfect! The staff are so helpful. I give it my highest recommendation
Beautiful building, rooms and furniture

Excellent place to rest, relax, and recharge; highly recommend!
Incredible staff! Very kind and made me feel welcome. The rooms are comfortable and charming, very clean, and a great place to rest after exploring the city. Amazing location! Walking distance from a gorgeous park (on my last morning I spontaneously came across a dance class there, they welcomed me right in), multiple museums, markets, and great places to eat.
There was a minor issue with water for the showers but it was communicated to me effectively and quickly resolved. The staff handled it wonderfully.

Great location in La Condesa
Superb location in La Condesa, very close to lots of great restaurants and bars. Very friendly and helpful staff and good breakfast (the weekday breakfasts were nicer, think the shifts change over the weekend). Room was spacious. Felt very safe behind a locked gate. Lovely terrace area. Would stay again, but would get a different room (see below).
We had the room with the private external bathroom (we knew this when booking) - the bathroom was pretty dirty (we started wearing sandals in the shower) and it didn’t appear to be cleaned much (if at all beyond a quick wipe) during our 4 night stay, it was also very small so difficult to put toiletries anywhere and the shower pressure was awful / squirted water in all directions. The bed was very hard (we can usually sleep anywhere, but particularly noticed this) and quite a few of the lights had blown lightbulbs. There’s also no AC, just a fan which was bearable when we were there in April but if it was much hotter it would have been very difficult to sleep. I probably wouldn’t get this room again.

Good neighborhood, great location, good breakfast.
Our room was tucked away from the street. I liked the courtyard. I liked that they had filtered water available in the room and the lobby/kitchen area. I liked the secured gate. I enjoyed their morning breakfast.
We were in the bottom floor and we could hear a creaking ceiling when are neighbors were walking around. Thin walls. No air conditioner during the heat wave but they had a fan in the room which made it bearable. Hard bed.

Lovely and comfortable stay in CDMX
Brilliant place to for our CDMX stay. Loved the location of this b&b which is in a beautiful art deco house. Room 4’s bed is huge and comfortable. The bathroom is was also spacious and the balcony beautiful full of plants. Nice breakfast of fruit, toast and eggs/quesadilla (depending on what the staff makes that morning). Distilled water is also provided. Parque Mexico is very closeby which is great to visit especially at sunset period.

I have stayed at Stella many times and always feel cared for.
The host lugged my heavy suitcase up a long flight of stairs as well as dragged it back down the next morning at 4:00 am. She was stronger than me and nothing short of a gracious "angel."
28 March 2024
Very good
Excellent location in the Condesa district. Good value for Mexico City. Kind and helpful staff. Elizabeth, who provided morning breakfast, was especially wonderful. Be sure to check that your “private” bath is located in your room. Ours was down the hall and therefore inconvenient and disappointing.

I wish there was a fan.

I stayed a few nights and liked it so much that I gave up a (nonrefundable) night at another hotel later in my trip in order to return to Stella. The staff were nice, the rooms were cute and comfortable, the location is excellent, the breakfasts were good and the price was right.
I couldn't get one of the windows in my room open (though had I asked for help, that might have solved the problem. It wasn't really an issue for me, as there were other windows that did open

Fantastic location, beautiful room, friendly staff
Location was perfect, the decoration was really throughout and cute, breakfast was delicious (although no great choice). Staff was very friendly! Would stay here again!
The pillows were quite hard and uncomfortable. Small details like a lamp on the nightstand would’ve been the icing on the cake :)

Felt like home!
We stayed in Mexico City for the first time and had a perfect start here. Stella Bed & Breakfast is a small and cosy hotel were we felt like home. The area around it (Condesa) felt very safe, you could even go for a run outside in the evening if you felt like it. There is one of the most beautiful parc around the corner, and metro is only a 10 min walk away. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. There was breakfast in the hotel that kept us going till midday and there was a good coffee machine. The room we stayed in was beautiful, with antique furniture and a view into the trees. Staff was very friendly and welcoming.
There was nothing we didnt like! Just be aware that as it is a small hotel, you might not find a big crowd to meet new people.

A clean and comfortable spot with a delicious breakfast and an excellent location.
Super location, clean, comfortable and homey, with a delicious breakfast. I loved being able to start the day with yogurt, fruit, and granola.
My only dislike was a lot of slamming of doors as people came and went.

We loved our stay and we’re sad to leave. We would definitely return here again.
Stella B&B is charming and quaint , located in a 1930s -style home , surrounded by a pretty garden on a quiet tree-lined street and has a lovely rooftop terrace. Our bedroom was clean,spacious, the king size bed very comfortable. Our room was the only one without a bathroom in the room. The bathroom was ours alone and not shared with any guests but you did have to leave the room. Luckily it was just a few steps down from our room and ended up not being a problem whatsoever. Every morning a different vegetarian breakfast( ex. fried eggs, avocado, spinach, scrambled eggs, tacos )along with toast, yogurt, cereal,fresh fruit, coffee or tea. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The majority of the furnishings dated back to the 1930s-1940s, feeling like you had gone back in time. There was also a small library that you could browse. The neighbourhood is very safe and you can easily walk , under an hour,to many of the tourist areas .Though we were not able take advantage of the B&B shuttle services, it was just as easy to order an Uber to and from the airport about a 20 minute drive away. Nearby there are a great selection of cafés, restaurants, taquerias and two parks.
The only slight problem was with the shower that sprayed water everywhere .

Charming place in the loveliest area of Mexico City
This is a very charming place located in the best area of CDMX. The room was small but comfy, silent and dark enough to sleep, plus there was a heater to heat it when colder. The breakfast is simple but good enough, staff is kind and attentive and the place is just very lovely.
The only downside is the internet that keeps interrupting itself but this is a common issue in the city, and also not a problem unless you want to have zoom calls.

Great place to spend a few days in Mexico City
Lovely location - walkable and safe with lots of restaurants. Super friendly and helpful staff Great breakfast Very clean and comfortable bed
Our room looked onto the shared garden and so was not that private - if we booked again would go for one of the others

Charming in a perfect location
Charming and character full B&B in a superb location in Condesa. Even at night felt safe to do short walk solo to nearby restaurants. Breakfast range is limited but great quality. Building is modernist architect designed and interesting with loads of character. Room comfortable and spacious. Value for money excellent.

Fabulous
-- Excellent location, in a safe neighborhood. There are very good restaurants a few blocks away, and there's a nice cafeteria right next to the B&B. -- Good breakfast. -- Nice and helpful staff. -- The bedroom with the terrace is very spacious, and the terrace is super cozy!
-- Since the B&B is in a building with no elevator, the stairs can be a problem for those carrying heavy luggage.
