Stella B&B, Mexico City
Stella Bed & Breakfast is a serene retreat located on the iconic Amsterdam Avenue in the heart of Mexico City’s trendy Condesa neighbourhood. The house itself is a piece of local history, designed and built in 1930 by the renowned architect Francisco Serrano. Known for other city landmarks like the Edificio Basurto, Serrano’s original design was lovingly restored in 2010, preserving its unique period finishes.
The property perfectly blends Art Deco aesthetics with vintage furnishings and a curated collection of Mexican contemporary art. With just seven rooms split between the main house and a side building, it offers an intimate, home-like atmosphere. The B&B is also environmentally conscious, utilizing solar panels, a rainwater retrieval system, and its own water treatment plant.
Guests can enjoy a daily breakfast featuring fresh fruit, bread, and rotating traditional Mexican dishes, often served in the dining room or enjoyed on the peaceful garden terrace. This green outdoor space is a quiet sanctuary, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the bustling capital.
Its location is a major highlight, placing you steps away from the lush greenery of Parque México. You are also within easy reach of major attractions like the expansive Bosque de Chapultepec, the National Museum of Anthropology, and the famous Angel of Independence monument. Whether you are looking for local coffee shops, fine dining, or cultural immersion, everything you need is right at your doorstep.

Wonderful staff and location. The room was really small and would be tight with two people.
Wonderful staff and location.
The sink did not work that well. The room is definitely suitable for just one person.

Amazing stay in la condesa
The location is amazing, right next to an incredible gelateria. I felt very safe and walked around without a worry. The property is very beautiful with trees and plants and a small cute patio. The room was small but very comfy and I liked how it was decorated. The administrator as also the lady helping around and cooking were extremely nice, welcoming and helpful. It is perfect for solo female travelers.
The room was a bit cold and there were some strange loud noises from time to time. The breakfast is very very simple.

Charming house in perfect location!
Perfect location and wonderful staff. The breakfast every morning was great. The house is so charming and we absolutely loved the neighborhood.
In general everything was excellent. The only small complaints are that our bathroom shower leaked, it needs a leak guard around the shower door. And some newer/plusher bath towels would have been nice.

What a gem!
We stayed for one night only, and felt welcomed since first interaction. Elizabeth welcomed us when we arrived and was very informative and friendly. Everything was clean and organized. Location is great! In the morning, we were surprised with a delicious meal prepared for us. Will definitely stay there again!
All perfect!

Comfortable and relaxing - we’ll be back!
Amazing location, big room & bathroom, beautiful terrace, yummy breakfast, bed was comfortable, housekeeping, clean facilities, hairdryer available, nice staff.

Beautiful, restful place to stay in the heart of Condessa
I love all the plants and how it’s tucked away from the street.
The towels were old.

Lovely little BnB in a good and safe location. Staff were very nice
The staff were very friendly and the freshly prepared breakfast was lovely
There was some noise from the room above (due to the thin walls I think) and the bathroom was slightly basic (no hairdryer etc) but these are very minor things

Great value for a comfortable stay.

The water pipes can be loud.

Lovely, comfortable place that is a great value!
This is my second stay and I have already booked my third. Great value for the money. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is delicious (yogurt with granola, fruit, toast, coffee / espresso, juice, and toast). The beds are comfortable. I also love the simple vintage stylings. The neighborhood is safe. Great restaurants walking distance. I highly recommend!
The hot water in the shower was not working well in this last room I was in.

Lovely and cozy
Great as always! I love the location.
Breakfast started later than scheduled so I didn't have time to take advantage of it -- though there was yogurt, fruit and bread out already, so it's not like I went hungry.
Hangers in my room would have been handy, as my luggage was soaked through from rain, but so did book a small room without a closet so that's partly my own fault.

Charming B&B with a wonderful staff and great location.
Stella B&B is beautiful, full of charm, and run by an attentive staff.
Our bathroom was separate from the room, which I knew going in. This wasn’t so much an issue, just not my favorite aspect of the stay.

Beautiful hotel from the 1930
It's a house that has been adapted as a small hotel, the house was built in the 1930's, it was really clean, well decorated, it feels like you're living in a house than a hotel, the personnel was really welcoming and warm, we arrive early but they let us to leave our luggage there until our room was ready, we walked around there are so many restaurants and cafes, also a Walmart across the street, it's a great location everywhere that you want to go is easy to take an Uber and move to different parts of Mexico City, the neighborhood is really safe and quite you can barely hear the cars at least in the room that we stayed it was really quiet and last the breakfast was included it's a really simple breakfast with bread, yogurt, fruits, butter, jam, coffee, tea and water they can cook for you in the moment so I consider it was great, they gave us filter water during our stay and clean our room every day.
It doesn't have A/C they have a fan in the room. Also, if you need a hair dryer or an iron, you have to request it, sometimes you can hear when the guests closed the doors of their room or even my own was a little bit noisy, but most of the guest were polite and they didn't make a lot of noise.

A lovely place to stay in a great part of Mexico City.
A lovely place to stay in a great part of Mexico City.
The room was a nice size and had a great ambience.
The staff were great- we ended up with a very late check in and a super early check out (but still needed luggage stored), this was all accommodated for us with no trouble (Thank you!). For a small extra fee I was also able to get a load of laundry cleaned.
Lots of nice restaurants/cafes around and a supermarket just across the street.
The breakfast choice was limited - but so long as you like Mexican eggs there is no problem!
The shower in the room lacked pressure- but was useable.

A charming homestyle stay in a quiet, leafy neighborhood
The breakfast was good to get a taste of what a typical home-cooked breakfast might be. Our room was very spacious and it’s a very quiet area. Loved the location.
The tables in the breakfast room are all a bit off kilter, it would be nice to have sturdy tables. Also some light music could be good, it’s so quiet in the mornings. The shower pressure is very low and it’s hard to regulate the temperature.

Beautiful property in a beautiful neighborhood
Location was superb, in a beautiful neighborhood. Rooms are basic but very clean. Breakfast was delicious.
The sink was tricky, the water seemed to pour out of sink when opened.

Welcoming stay in the heart of beautiful Roma Norte
Friendly staff, comfortable bed and great location.
I struggled to regulate her temperature of the water on the shower.

Quirky property in a great location
Excellent breakfast, part buffet and part tasty home-cooked dish which changed daily. Tucked away off Avenida Amsterdam, so quiet but very central. The lounge is a welcome addition, with a good selection of books to browse. Small but very attractive shady garden with some chairs. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Interesting vintage furnishings. There was an issue with water during our stay, which was not the fault of the Stella, but we received generous compensation for this.
The room needed a deep clean - the window sills were dirty, the bedhead had ingrained dust, just needed more than a daily freshen up. There was almost no storage - the chest of drawers had handles, and even a drawer base, missing, so mostly unusable. I had to ask for hangers for the clothes rail. Vintage is not an excuse for a lack of maintenance.

Would recommend for La Condesa / Roma
It was in a great location in a lovely area, there were coffee shops and restaurants within a few meters of the B&B, the staff were really friendly and helpful, and the room was comfortable.
There was nothing bad about Stella B&B! Ideally, there would be air con in the room but the fan provided was sufficient. Perhaps have table lamps would be good, as the overhead lights were very strong.

great location for a bed and breakfast that has the basics.
you can't beat the location. the room is also pretty sizable. the breakfast was good.
the bathroom is down a few stairs and requires a key, which required some planning. the shampoo/soap situation was not great. the towels are old.

Atmospheric place to stay in the heart of Condesa, lovely staff, delicious homemade breakfast
Location is magical, right on Amsterdam in Condensa. Very charming place, with a taste for art deco. Lovely staff and delicious homemade breakfast.
A bit noisy sometimes, with water running all night
