Villa Santa Mónica

I booked this hotel for a one night stay and thought it was beautiful. From the skylight in my room to the tile in the bathroom, I found the hotel to be beautiful. As others noted, the room I was in did not have a tv, but I didn't need one since I was only there for a night. I booked through my credit card travel portal and saw a note that the hotel didn't allow check-ins after 8:30. I got in touch with the hotel and they were able to accommodate my 11pm arrival, which I was so grateful for. The grounds of the hotel are amazing, especially the courtyard and the grounds near the pool. It is off the beaten path, but next to a gorgeous park. The staff were fabulous: Lulu and Jorge at the front desk were fabulous and helped me troubleshoot an issue I had, and the person who helped me with my bags went above and beyond. Had the hotel been the only thing I saw in SMA, I would have been happy.

We have just spent 8 nights and this beautiful characterful hotel … After spending the previous 8 nights in the bustlingMexico City this place was the tranquil rest we needed… the staff are amazing from housekeeping up to management … our room was a a beautiful suite Don Justin with a lovely garden complete with water fountain which made it even better … Food and Drinks also excellent … they serve breakfast and lunch but not dinner so we experienced some great food outside as well … the pool area complete with peacock and poolside service was also excellent … all the staff went out of their way to fulfil anything we asked for including Adan in the restaurant and the ever so knowledgable Larissa … everything and everyone was great. One thing to remember is at this time of year it’s chilly in the mornings and evenings so bring something to keep you warm. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely go back … Soon…

Such a beautiful hotel! Loved the location at the top of Parque Benito Juarez, which is so lovely in itself. Both the hotel courtyard, where we had breakfast every day ( always delicious), and our room were exquisite. Hummingbirds in abundance! Huge bathroom, antique-filled bedroom, super high ceilings— it felt grand and elegant. In January, the courtyard was chilly in the morning, so plan on a jacket. We had some plumbing issues on our first day (not exactly surprising for a building of this age), but they were completely fixed by the time we returned in the afternoon. If you like American style amenities— TV, microwave, tech upgrades— this is not for you. It’s an historic old building and provides an old school hotel experience. Silent at night, comfortable bed, great linens. Our room had a pretty private patio, but the furniture wasn’t too inviting (seriously weathered). However, it was great to leave the doors open and sit on the big comfy chairs with the sun streaming in. The staff, led by Lulu, was fantastic—you are completely taken care of in such a personal and caring way. The walk to the town center is about 10-15 minutes and we loved escaping back to this quiet and beautiful spot every night.
