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.

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.

lovely B&B in a great neighborhood!
The location is in the Condesa neighborhood, which is so lovely. Very walkable, felt safe at all times. So many restaurants there. The Stella B&B breakfast varied each day, we loved the food that Lizbeth (I believe that was her name!) gave us. She was so friendly! We also had our laundry done, which was cheap and easy....hand it over in the morning, get everything folded back in the late afternoon! We also loved having a sip of wine (bought around the corner) on their lovely terrace! Finally, the driver the B&B organized for us to pick us up from the airport was great! our plane was 3 hours late, and he was still there waiting
Our particular bathroom was a few steps down from our room which I didn't like so much at night, BUT I was totally expecting that so it was not a surprise. We had booked 3 rooms, and had to take what was available. The courtyard was a little smaller than we expected, but the terrace was nice

Beautiful rooms in quaint Roma
Beautiful room. Great and safe location.
The breakfast was ok, but not the tastiest in our mexico trip. I personally wasn't a fan of the manga art in the room :)

Great little B&B in Condesa
Good breakfast and great location (many restaurants/parks/cafes/bars to explore). The staff was very friendly :)
The room is tiny, only stayed there for one night though on a commute so wasn't a big issue.

If you are looking for a clean accessible and well-located bnb in the center of mexico city, this is the place for you.
A comfortable, clean bnb located in the heart of condesa. The location was sincerely prime, would highly recommend to all travelers for short or long stay.

Warm ambience and I would totally reccomend
The stuff was very friendly and helpful, quiet place, felt safe, clean. The place has character and provides you a Mexican real hosting - rather than a globalised hotel.
Everything was quite ok

I loved the interior design and a calm mood of the place
beautiful apartment with big private terrace and the best location at condesa
sometimes it smells bad from the pipes in the bathroom but it’s mexico city problem in general

You won't get a better located and priced B&B in CDMX.
Stella exceeded my expectations in terms of service and location, right on Amsterdam Ave in Condesa. Breakfast was great and staff were ready to help.
