"How did it strike you on arrival?White walls and black trim stand in stark contrast to a patterned talavera-tiled floor; the effect is a stylish, contemporary take on Mexican design. Nice. What’s the crowd like?A classy bunch, mostly business travelers and some European and American couples on vacation. If you've chosen to stay here, you did so because you want to be in one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods, Condesa. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The 37 rooms feel like minimalist inner-city loft apartments, with brick walls, light wood floors, leather headboards, and kitchenettes. Some of the suites open out on to a terrace or balcony. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Comfy mattresses are topped with Ralph Lauren bedding. There's also a pillow menu if you're picky about that. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?All rooms are equipped with Smart TVs, climate control (heating and AC), and comfy bathrobes. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Bathrooms have the same trendy, minimalist design as the bedrooms. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is free and runs at a speed of 200Mps (translation: you can download that Netflix show in a matter of seconds). Room service: Worth it?No room service but there's a Starbucks downstairs, so you can grab your morning coffee before heading out. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The rooftop garden is a relaxing place to take in views of the city. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The location: Step outside and you have restaurants, bars, and parks all around. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It's worth staying here just to see those beautiful floor tiles." - Susannah Rigg

"The 37 rooms at this La Condesa hotel feel like minimalist, inner-city loft apartments. The brick walls, light wood floors, leather headboards, and kitchenettes (plus private terraces or balconies in the suites) are strategically planned to accommodate business travelers on extended stays. But AR 218 still appeals to leisure-traveling couples from Europe and the U.S., many of whom choose the hotel for its prime location near the city's best restaurants, bars, and parks." - Susannah Rigg

This is a nice hotel but as many recent hotels designed to impress the eyes, its designers have skipped a few of the fundamentals. There is no sound proofing. The open stairs are made of stone and steel which amplifies the sound. You feel you’re part of the other guests conversation even if you can’t participate. The beeps of the digital locks are so loud that you hear the neighbours three doors away from yours. The design of the room is fresh and spacious, with a nice kitchenette. The beds are very comfortable, but the dim lighting is hard on the eyes after a while. It’s a great location. Staff is there to help.

AC was broken in the unit, but the most disappointing thing is the hotel’s management. We called at least 5 times and they just ignored our phone calls. They will text you back the next day and deflect all responsibility. Incompetent at best, negligent in reality. Would not recommend. The hotel is also a bit sketchy and security was asleep the two nights we arrived after dinner. I should add the agency with which we booked our stay was also unable to get in touch with the hotel.

Room was beautiful and location was great. However, someone stole my Apple EarPods from my room. I’ve been able to track them since, but nobody has turned them in even with communication from the hotel.

As advertised, spacious executive room, good size shower (the shower head is leaking and needs to be replaced). They provide two pods of coffee and two small bottles of water, only for the first day, and for the rest of the stay you have to buy your own. The room was nicely clean, the bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet.

The Way We Saw It

We stayed a few times in this Hotel but this was definitely our last time. Upon our arrival the room was not well cleaned. The shower sink was broken, the curtains in a bad condition, all the towels were old and worn out. We also did not receive the remote control for the AC. So we could not use it. Even when asked for it. On the second day of our stay the house keeping did not leave us a new room of toilet paper. On the third day we asked the the reception for a new one. The response of the manger on duty (Fernand Ramirez) was that we are not entitled to more than one roll a day and that we have to pay for it if we use more than this. I told him that this could not be true as this is a hotel. He told me no, it is not a hotel, it's an airbnb. I asked him if he would like to give me a roll of paper or receive a bad review. He threatened me to throw me out of the hotel. I told him to calm down and that I will go to the kiosk around the corner and buy my toilet paper, which I did. We can not recommend to stay here. The experience was terrible. Also the rooms which are facing the walkway are noisy and people are able to look into your room. We canceled all our future reservations in this hotel.

Would give this place 0 stars if I could. I and several people booked this as AC was listed when booking for all of us. Only a few rooms had AC and I checked in before a friend who received AC and I did not. I threw up because of the heat, could not sleep the entire weekend. Ask to check out early to be ghosted and then given a portable AC without responding to my messages. I am very upset.

The hotel management keep the room temperature so high that it was impossible to sleep for an entire week. We complained daily and begged them to do something about it but the manager just pretended that there was nothing wrong with the AC. ||They allowed one roll of toilet paper per day for 3 people and none on the last two days.||This place is run like a $150 a night youth hostel.

Stellar hotel in a great area. The room was clean, modern, large and beautiful. The neighborhood was great - safe, clean and walkable with loads of restaurants. The staff and hosts were extremely friendly and responsive. We will stay here again!!
