The breakfast was a great highlight, we found ourselves to be excited for what pastry selection we were going to be offered each day as they were one of the best we’ve had. Also, inside the hotel there is absolutely no issues with the noise from outside, at least in the room we were in, but the rooftop and as soon as you exit the hotel means that you entering a busy and touristy area.

Loved the hotel, staff and amazing location. Just be aware the hotel is across the street from an historic cathedral that is closed to taxis/ubers so you need to walk a couple of blocks to get picked up or dropped off. But the location is totally worth it!

best hotel in Mexico City by far. The location can’t be beat and the view from the rooftop is unreal. service is excellent and we spend most of our time between the rooftop sauna and jacuzzi. The design and layout is stunning, you are lucky if you have the opportunity to stay here.

Zen space in historic city centre

Círculo is a revelation. Beautifully designed bedrooms, friendly staff and a thoughtful space. The roof top is well thought out. The bar could be more lively - it was empty most of the time and smoking is not permitted. But overall wonderful stay.

I, wouldn’t bother making reservations here staff is not helpful and don’t care to help in any way, shape or form. The property looks nice in pictures and videos, but what makes it a better experience are the staff in any establishment, like any other business. The quality of the business is a reflection of its staff. There’s probably better options in and around the area. I would definitely stay away from círculo Mexicano

This hotel was probably one of the nicest hotels I've had the pleasure of staying at. Incredible facilities, cleanliness, and the staff were so kind and helpful. The surrounding area was not my favourite as there were lots of people and many big box shops vs. smaller local boutiques. Despite this, it was worth it to see the historic area and buildings that are famous to Mexico City. The building design and the room with all of the finishings were stunning and minimal but especially comfortable, providing an oasis in the middle of a fairly busy district. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is a lovely hotel with a stunning rooftop. On the rooftop there is a cold water pool which is wonderfully refreshing, a restaurant-bar, and gorgeous views of the historic centre. The room was really nicely decorated with brushed concrete and pastel cream colors. The windows of this room give onto an internal courtyard - not a big deal… for privacy you can close them. Minor suggestions: a little more little in the bathroom (mirror) and a dimmed light at the foot of the platform on which rests the bed (because it’s quite dangerous to navigate that in the dark)

Stephanie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was nice, but our room was connected to the room below via a vertical shaft (presumably for light) so that we could see into and hear the room below. We found this aspect to be unacceptable. Beyond the lack of privacy and noise, the bed was comfortable, the staff were incredibly helpful, and the roof and breakfast each morning were a highlight.

Rooms were architecturally interesting as is the entire hotel - roomy and great beds & shower. The breakfast which was included was delicious with a gorgeous setting in the rooftop across from the cathedral- with jacuzzi, sauna, small pool and deck and bar. And the rooms were QUIET. The staff was lovely. Right near the Historic Centro. Great oasis in the middle of all the history. Unique layout.

Stay away - contaminated water and awful reception

Jug of water left in the room for consumption was poisoned/contaminated with what I can only assume to be a floor cleaner liquid or room odoriser oil. Only noticed once I downed a glass of it, which caused nausea and stomach problems at 10pm before our long haul return flight at 8am the next day. When contacted, lady at reception couldn’t care less, offered no apology or remedy. And when called numerous times to ask for clean water, she simply ignored (in fact she was playing on her phone while the phone was ringing as seen by my partner). Clean hotel and nice views of cathedral, but awful and appalling service from staff, plus intentional contamination of water in the room.
