There is no doubt in my mind that Casa Jacinta is a five star place. It is a beautiful B and B in a house on a quiet leafy street in coyoacan. You can walk to many fabulous cafes, restaurants, museums, mercados, the zocalo... It is idyllic! The rooms are large and nicely decorated and have gorgeous tiled bathrooms with great showers and nice amenities. Many rooms have patios to enjoy the insanely perfect weather. The breakfasts are positively sumptuous... Norma will treat you right with fresh coffee, tea, juice, fruit, yogurt, breads with jam, honey and butter... And then the mexican specialty hot dish of the day... Perhaps mole or eggs with salsa verde!!
Everything is kept super clean and the people are as lovely as can be.
All of this is true and amazing ... As long as they don't give you room number one on the ground floor. We reserved a king room a month in advance and when we arrived were given room number one with two double beds... I knew it wasn't the correct room but we arrived at 8pm after the reception had gone home and the night man said that this was the only room left. It was spacious, clean and well appointed. It had two sets of French doors that open to an amazing garden... But it turned out it was the public smoking garden of the b&b and you couldn't open your drapes because then everyone could see in your room. Also in this room you can hear every and I mean every sound from reception, the breakfast room, sweeping, loud voices... From super early in the morning. The worst was the neighbors... The neighbors to the right of the b&b are big time partaaaayers... And hey, I love a party... But not when it is at 3am and it sounds like it is in your room.... Two nights in a row!! There is something about the acoustics of this room or maybe it is super thin walls ... I don't know... But do not accept this room!! It was absolute torture.
They said someone messed up and gave our room away by mistake... They offered us a discount which was professional and nice... They tried. I definitely would give them another chance and stay there again but only by reserving a room on the second or third floor. We saw room 5 and it was lovely. I think you should request a certain room number and then be absolutely adamant.... Otherwise... You'll be sorry!!
So... Great place... Not such a great experience room and sleeping wise, BUT... I still recommend wholeheartedly!! read more
