La Palomilla Bed & Breakfast

The staff was very helpful. When I needed to take a bus to a concert venue on the other side of town, they explained how to do it and even lent me a transit card. It’s easy to get Ubers right near La Palomilla. The room had a binder with useful recommendations on what to do on Mondays when most of the museums are closed— so we took their advice and discovered the free “Museo Vivo del Muralismo” where we discovered dozens of amazing murals by Diego Rivera. This hotel used to be a mansion that was converted into a Bed and Breakfast and each room is uniquely styled with cute Mexican decor—our room was the “Lucha Libre” room. They can arrange for massages in your room— we took advantage of that and thoroughly enjoyed our massages. The breakfasts were outstanding and included freshly squeezed juices, homemade jams, pastries and Mexican breakfast specialties. When I craved a little more protein for breakfast, they even gave me made-to-order eggs.

Located in Roma Norte, just a block from Condesa, La Palomilla is a small family-run establishment with seven guest rooms on a quiet residential street. The location provides easy access to both neighborhoods while remaining removed from much of the traffic and noise. The rooms are on the small side, with limited storage for personal belongings. There are a few open shelves and a small rack for hanging clothes. There is also a long shelf above the bed, which came in handy. The king bed was firm but comfortable. The room also had a desk and chair. The bathroom was average in size, with a good-sized shower, good water pressure, and reliable hot water. However, the water temperature was touchy and needed to be adjusted continuously to maintain a consistent temperature. The Wi-Fi worked well in the downstairs common area but not in our room. There was supposed to be a separate login for the guest rooms, but I never saw it listed among the available networks. The room did have plenty of outlets for charging electronics. This is a homey place with friendly service. They offer juice and cookies in the afternoon. Breakfast is a full meal, starting with fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola, followed by a main plate that changes daily. During our stay they served chalupas with pork, huevos al albañil, and vegetable enchiladas. If the main dish does not appeal to you, they can usually offer something more to your taste. Everything we tried was well prepared and tasty.

small room with limited storage. Not good Wifi in the rooms.

The location is perfect, right at the boarder of Condesa and Roma Norte. Safe and walkable.

The location and breakfast were fine. The night person was friendly.

The owners, despite saying they would see us, never showed up. the place is very over-priced. we had a tiny room that we paid over $200 a night for. We just came from a different hotel that was the same price and the room was twice the size, there was a happy hour for guests every day and the staff were amazing. would not recommend
