This is a colorful, diverse market in a nice neighborhood. I absolutely love browsing crafts and…read morerandom atypical souvenirs while traveling and this is the perfect spot to do so. There is also a little bar serving food and drinks. There are several shops within the market on two levels. There are also vendors selling items outside on the first floor. The prices vary, but most of the stuff upstairs seemed more high-end. The owner was very friendly and welcomed me and asked me how I found out about the market. I told him an Instagram travel influencer made it look like a cool place to stop in, and she was right!

Cute place buy totally overpriced. Seems to cater to naive tourists. For instance a sensitiva plant…read morethat I just bought in Xochimilco for $5 pesos, they sell it there for $50 - seriously exactly the same plant in the same pot. There is a cool cafeteria run by couple of chilean guys but so far they are not very good taking several orders and delivering to the terrace upstairs. The highlight of my visit was a band that played covers during the Saturday evening that I was there. This is a place to have a look, grab a coffee, listen to some music and get out. Savvy shoppers should not spend money there.

I've stayed at this hotel six times. This time, I received an email from them offering free…read morebreakfasts. I bought a six night stay, and was expected the free breakfasts. However, the attached restaurant didn't even open until 9 am, so by then we were long gone so the offer was circumvented by not being open until late. They also tried to charge me twice for the last night stay, which was annoying plus I found that I was overcharged for the room based on their rack rate... and they wouldn't adjust the rate! For some reason, they no longer provided bottles of water in the rooms, you had to ask. That means if you didn't know better you'd drink from the faucet, which in Mexico is asking to become ill. Don't bother with this place, it's falling apart!

As someone who travels frequently for both work and pleasure, I can say with complete certainty…read morethat La Valise CDMX is one of the finest hotels I've had the pleasure of staying at. Everything from the pre-stay communication and exceptional customer service to the beautiful and tastefully decorated accommodations was world class. My wife and I started our honeymoon with two nights in La Luna suite, one of only three rooms at the hotel. Prior to our stay, I emailed several times with the staff to hammer out some details. They provided a beautiful complimentary bouquet of white roses in our room, which was more of a luxury one bedroom apartment with kitchen and superb bathroom. Emails were returned within a matter of minutes, and always were very pleasant. Our initial flight to Mexico City was delayed for four hours, and we missed our opportunity to visit the archeology museum. When we arrived to La Valise, we were welcomed with a shot of very tasty mezcal and freshly sliced orange. The hotel then delivered our luggage to our room along with the remainder of the bottle of mezcal while we went for a walk in the neighborhood, again complimentary. The attention to detail in our room was superb. The bathroom was supplied with excellent soaps and shampoos, along with fragrant bath salts to use in the claw foot tub. The refrigerator was stalked with complimentary still and sparkling water, beer, and juice. Wifi was excellent, with a UE Boom speaker and Apple TV provided. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the complimentary coffee provided by the shop next door was exceptional. The icing on top of our trip happened when we unfortunately left a cell phone in the back of an Uber. We left Mexico City early the following morning, making it impossible for Uber to return our phone to us. The hotel helped us facilitate calling our carrier to turn off service to the phone, and volunteered to allow us to use them as a contact for the return of the phone. The manager, Roberto, communicated with us frequently to let us know the phone had been returned, and is going to meet us at the airport in several days to hand deliver while we have a lengthy layover on our return home... On Christmas Eve Day!! I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It exceeded our expectations.

We had a lovely holiday in Mexico City, anchored at La Valise. The hotel is in a large brownstone…read morewith only three suites. We booked the El Patio which is on the first floor (our friends did La Terraza which was on the third floor with a roll out to the balcony bed!). We didn't have that luxury but our stay was one of the most pleasant stays we've had at a hotel. Our suite was tastefully appointed. Incredibly comfortable bed, and a darling patio with a swing and a hammock. We couldn't spend much time on the patio because it rained quite a bit while we were there. A special shout out to the bath products - divine. Breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious. Fruits, yogurt, granola, and fresh juice. Room service was catered by Rosetta and El Khalifa. The UE roll added an atmospheric vibe, perfect for lazing around the suite. The only con, if any, is I wish they had more lights in the room. I highly recommend this lovely little hotel. Roma Norte is a delightful neighborhood and you'll enjoy exploring all its little secrets.
