Very nice inside, and I liked the code option instead of a key. However, the street was SUPER NOISY, and it was difficult to sleep, with truck noises until 11 pm and starting at 5 am. Not very walkable area.

The stay was nice until I wanted to extend my stay there. The property manager was so rude and forced and pushed me to move out when the new room was not ready for me to move in at all. He even threatened me on WhatsApp in all ways, including they had to enter my room. Unfortunately, I forgot his name but I think he is in charge of and manage all the rooms in different buildings. This horrible and awful experience gave me a lot of trauma. I can't believe that the manager can be so rude to customers who has been living there for 10 days and was going to extend for a long stay. Also, I have to mention, be ready for the noise by the street, the traffic is very busy and the noise can let you up all night. If you don't belive in me try some of their rooms by the street and you will know what I'm saying. It's not just the normal noise, I'm not sensitive with noise and sound at all, but I still can't stand it and can't sleep at all. Be careful when you book.

This place is under a new management and its bad.i was there 9 days and my towels were the same, cleaning lady said every 7days.. i never had clean towels called the main office, same thing. If you have company, they have to leave by 10 pm , if you go out , you must knock at the door to get in.. I won't be back , and its not cheap either.

This is the first property I’ve ever stayed at that charges you to use the in-room coffee maker. Don’t fall prey like I did to their generous shelling of Nespresso pods only to receive a steeply upmarked bill upon checkout ($4 per pod). In-room telephones connecting you to the front desk don’t work, nor their elevators’ room key sensors. Rooms don’t have light switches — illumination is controlled by an overly-complicated monitor that, again, you’re left to figure out on your own since the in-house phones don’t work. The air conditioning unit was extremely noisy and only cooled off the room briefly every 30 minutes, blowing lukewarm air throughout the room. Perhaps the only bright side to my stay was how warm and welcoming are the maintenance and front desk staff.

I have stayed at Stara, now owned by Capitalia, for many years for business. Note that the sign outside still remains to be Stara to avoid any confusion. All rooms are nice, we had the top floor and these two rooms are large and very nice. There used to be breakfast, lunch and Dinner served on the roof top patio. Breakfast included in the room fee and this made life easy instead of having to walk to the city center of San Angel which is about a 15 minute walk each way. The staff is always great, but missing amenities are in need of being addressed. Capitalia can't expect people to eat an overpriced snickers bar and an 11 dollar bottle of water for breakfast or dinner and be happy about it. If improvements are made, then I'd recommend this place, but I can tell you I will take my business elsewhere in the future if some thing as simple as food service cannot be addressed. 4 months ago at least they had a small kitchen downstairs that could cook a simple breakfast but that is now gone too. This is a disappointment as I have been staying here for almost 10 years for business and have spent tens of thousands of US dollars to stay here. Best of luck!

I stayed at Stara San Angel Inn for 4 nights with my partner, and we were absolutely floored with how stunning the suite we reserved was. The entire hotel was modernized, had smart controls for lighting in rooms in the form of an iPad, room entry was tap to enter, as was the elevator, and the service at the desk , house keeping, and restaurant were outstanding. We had an excellent balcony view into the patio area, which provided privacy from the main road outside the hotel. There was a convenience store, a fuel station, a bakery, a pharmacy all within a 10 minute walk from the hotel, so you never were left with the want for anything for a very long time. And the price couldn't be beat, this will absolutely be our go-to hotel whenever we visit Mexico city again.

Outstanding value for top tier boutique hotel
An outstanding value for an excellent boutique hotel. Everything is ultra modern, clean and comfortable. A roof-top terrace, restaurant, and library only sweeten the deal. Two caveats: For whatever reason, many cabbies still don't use GPS to locate unfamiliar addresses, and you sometimes have to ask two or three before finding one who knows this hotel's location, even though the name of the street appears prominently off a major thoroughfare. Second, the hotel is situated close enough to the major thoroughfare that street noise can be an issue. But hey, this is Mexico City, so noise comes with the territory. I recommend asking for room as far away from the street as may be available and packing ear plugs just in case. HTH.

Beautiful view, meh food
The room is like a studio apartment, it's outfitted with kitchen pots and utensils, notably a water jug with glasses. It has room service which is convenient, but the food itself was hit or miss. The chocolate cake is amazing for example. I loved the fresh fruit and ingredients and the beautiful presentation but often the food would end up sticking to the plate or just tasting bland. Speaking of service, the cleaning staff ignored the Do Not Disturb sign, to the point where the front desk called and asked if I wanted the room cleaned, but they left me alone when I told them no.

Bad Choice
New hotel with modern rooms that should have been great but its not: - No Airconditioning in the rooms! Very hot...hotel says open sliders but noise from traffic is really loud. They brought a "cooler" to the room but it was just a fancy fan. - Car service...when asking for them to call you a cab...they direct you to one of their workers with a car....five times the cost of cab and they do not mention the price before hand

Arrived at Hotel in the middle of the night, does not feel like a welcoming hotel for out of town guests. Surrounding area is dark and would not recommend to anyone. Decided to lose my fully paid reservation and stayed somewhere I felt SAFE and welcomed. Room cleanliness and comfort could not be rated or verified because I got as far as lobby and felt scared off.

Very nice hotel and great service. The bed is a queen size platform bed and it is not too comfortable for two people used to sleeping on a king with a box spring. The only two chairs are very narrow.

Location is out of the way in San Angel. We wanted to stay for a week in the south of the city so the location served our needs. Ironically, it's easier to catch a cab outside the hotel than it is downtown or in Polanco or Condesa. Facilities are terrific, spacious and super-modern. Staff was amazingly helpful day and night. Rooftop terrace for excellent American breakfast daily.

Great stay!
There are not much options in the south part of the city and this apartments/hotel is superb! Located only 2 blocks from Periferico (main highway). Rooms are clean, very spacious and comfortable. Service is amazing. So new that all the lights are controlled from an ipad, which for me is what I didn't like that much, you have to go through too much trouble to turn the room light on at middle of the night! Other than that, best hotel in south part of Mexico if you like boutique hotels.
