We were travelling from Australia. Our room and the ambiance of the house is tasteful and cosy with a stunning art collection, soft music and a beautiful peaceful garden. It is a refuge away from the busyness of the city. The breakfasts are to die for and the happy hour was an opportunity to socialise and network which is helpful when the city is new to you. For me the two friendly resident pet dogs were a bonus as I was missing my own. I can't recommend the Red Tree House enough.

When I saw all the 5 star reviews I thought, no way, they must be all fake, how could any place…read morehave such glowing reviews and nothing negative?! But after my stay here, I can say they were absolutely right!!! This is the most perfect hotel/B&B EVER. I'm so glad I stayed here over other soulless hotels that were cheaper. From the first welcome to the last goodbye, every staff member here has made us feel so warm and cared for. Breakfast: This was my absolute favorite part -- I usually don't care for hotel breakfasts because I'm always on the go, but once I had the first bite, I moved our itinerary around so that we could get their breakfast every morning! They start around 7am with the bread and coffee, but the hot breakfasts start at 8am and end at 10am. I got to try chilaquiles, enchiladas, and enmoladas while I was here, and they really make them with heart and soul! These were the best things I ate during my trip to Mexico City! Also really loved the outside garden in the mornings with all the greenery and birds chirping. Location: in the heart of La Condesa, walking distance to Roma Norte, both neighborhoods were great for strolling through parks and art galleries. We ubered to other places further away and it was so cheap and convenient. Rooms: We stayed here for 4 nights and went to Oaxaca for 3, then back to the Red Tree House for the last night, and both rooms we had were cozy and comfy, with AC. They have great shampoo/conditioner and shower gel, amazing water pressure and temperature, everything was so clean, and I got to sit outside in the balcony and took it slow for the last morning we were there. Housekeeping was amazing, everything was perfect when we came back every night. Safety: They lock their front doors and the front gate so you need your key to get in, and there's a safe in every room. Happy Hour every night 6-8PM: This was such an unexpected bonus! I didn't even plan for us to be at the hotel during those hours because I wanted to see everything in CDMX, but it ended up raining during those hours and we went to one, and it was so much fun chitchatting with other like-minded travelers who shared what they loved about their trip -- We ended up going to a few more & got so many tips from other guests! The hotel dogs Romeo & Booz - I love them and miss them so much! Side note: I LOOOOVED all the art work and interior design and colors. Felt like I was in an art gallery but at the same time so comfortable at a friend's home. HIGHLY recommend!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!

Walking to this hostel from across the Zocola and checking in was a huge relief for us. It truly is…read morelocated RIGHT BEHIND the Cathedral. We had just arrived in Mexico City and were a little culture shocked by the immensity of the city, and as ignorant Americans who speak little to no Spanish, it was nice to check in to a friendly, clean hostel with English speakers to get grounded before exploring the city. If staying in the D.F. this hostel is very centrally located. We did take the metro throughout the day and this place is located close to two metro stops. There is always a bilingual (English and Spanish speaking, I think) staff member at the front desk at all hours to answer any questions. Several times we asked for directions or about taking a bus or metro and were given great advice. The hostel is super clean and friendly. Our shared room was small, but brightly painted and clean. We did have a locker in the room and we travel with our own lock, so we felt safe locking our valuables up when out of the room. If you don't travel with your own lock, locks can be purchased at the front desk. At 2:00 PM, which is check in time, there was a long line of backpackers and travelers trying to get a room and a lot of them were turned down due to no vacancy, so definitely make your reservations online before coming, especially if you're planning to stay on a weekend. We made ours on Hostel World and had no issues with the reservations. There is a bar upstairs and free WiFi throughout the entire hostel, as well as a restaurant downstairs. The restaurant downstairs does serve really good food, and while it is more pricey than other places, it's convenient to grab a snack or drink. The free breakfast provided upstairs was fresh and hearty with lots of fruit. There is free coffee provided, but it's the instant kind. Another huge plus to this hostel was the free filtered water which is available on every floor in a drinking fountain. We refilled all of our water bottles and didn't have to buy any water while in Mexico City. The water fountains on the bottommost floors have the coldest water. There were some loud, obnoxious juveniles in the hostel, so if you want to get a good night's sleep definitely bring ear plugs, as a lot of the rooms open up to the restaurant and lobby downstairs and voices travel far in this hostel. The showers and bathrooms were clean and we were even provided with towels and soap, which is a plus for hostels. The same people who run this hostel also have others throughout Mexico, so it looks like a nice, trusty chain of hostels to me.

One thing to note- to take a shower everyone in your room will see you naked. Might be a big deal to some. A little pricey for a hostel at $25 usd a night, but the area is very nice and super convenient and there is nary a sign of the dreaded bed bug.

The rooftop and activities also facilitate the encounters. You can book most city activities through the hostel if you want to do them in a group. They have activities every day. The rooms are cleanish, there's a weird lingering pipe smell but I feel that's pretty common in older buildings. I took off one start because it can be suppeerrr loud, this messed up my sleep for a bit of my stay. It's more due to the location of it being in Centro.

The space itself is stunning and beautifully decorated yet very comfortable.

My partner and I are a lesbian couple and felt very safe, definitely a very LGBTQIA+ friendly hotel! We loved the neighborhood, San Rafael, for its authenticity, history, food, and proximity to a lot of other things on our itinerary. We felt that a lot of areas were walkable, if not a short metro or taxi ride away. We're so happy to have found this special gem in such an incredible city, we can't wait to be back!

Right upon arrival, we were greeted by incredible architectural and design details, an amazing staff, and the most adorable dog, Bonito. Axel and Elvia and were attentive and didn't mind our millions of questions or requests (including using their laundry service or where to get the best tacos within walking distance!). Our room was cozy and calming resulting in restful sleep, and the fresh fruit and delicious Mexican breakfast in the mornings by Nora and Lupita was the absolute best way to start our day. Finally, housekeeping made it so we'd always return to an inviting and tidy room every evening with a fresh jug of water. I was drawn to El Patio 77 for its charm and pledge to sustainability, and it did not disappoint. A few things to note (which didn't hinder our experience whatsoever, but might be useful for other travelers): Location: El Patio 77 is located in the charming and quiet neighborhood of San Rafael, but a lot of our planned activities were in Roma Norte or Condesa. We knew this at the time of booking, and were excited to be a little further away from the city center. This did mean about a 20-40 minute Uber ride most of the time (depending on traffic), or a long meandering walk. My partner and I both love walking and felt pretty safe in the area, so this was not a problem for us. I encourage visitors to spend some time in the neighborhood and check out local shops and restaurants. Rooms: It's an old home with lots of quirks, which means you may hear movement throughout the house. We stayed in the Veracruz room which we loved and got great sleep in, but it did get a little warm at night. There was a fan in the room which helped tremendously, and we'd wake up to the smell of coffee and breakfast cooking on the nights we kept the window open (this was an incredible way to wake up). Bathroom: In our room, and I imagine in others as well, there was no door to the bathroom, only a doorway. It's not so different than most hotel rooms these days, but if you are planning on sharing the room with someone and aren't comfortable with the bathroom arrangement, this is something to note. Luckily the property is absolutely beautiful with a number of calm corners where, if someone needs privacy, the other person can go and read a book, work on their laptop, etc. All in all, we loved our time here and look forward to returning to CDMX and staying at El Patio 77 once again! Big shout out to Bonito, Alan (the owner), and the entire team for making this a magical little spot.

Wether I was having a drink and a cigar on the rooftop bar/patio, or visiting with Christian and the other employees there I was having a good time! Now, I did have my own room. I did this because I was in Mexico to visit (for the first time face to face) my now fiancée Maru! She and I shared plenty of vino y puros there, and just had a fun time all around! I was able to visit and befriend people from all over the world here! On top of that, the location is perfect!! You are right in the middle of everything! I did see another reviewer comment about the loudness, but in all reality, the area shuts down pretty early. I had a room facing the street on the second level, and I do admit that at times the noise did get bothersome, but I was offered a change of room if I found it to much so. I liked the view, so I stayed there. (Not much of a "view" but it was fun to look over the street.) There is food everywhere, and a little spot directly across the street that sells deep fried quesadilla all night. Great drunk food!! Hostal Regina was fantastic! The people were great, and I highly recommend that you stop by here if you are visiting Mexico!! Que Dios te bendiga!

The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and functional, and the murals are impressive. My three girlfriends and I shared the large, "yellow" room with private bath for 2 nights. It overlooked the courtyard out back and the beds were fairly comfortable. The bathroom was surprisingly elegant with large mirrors and a deep bathtub. We stayed our last night in the "pink" room with a shared bath, which had two queen-size beds and a bunk bed. While it wasn't as nice as the yellow room (obnoxious lighting), it was a bit quieter at night... A group of rowdy boys partied into the early morning in the courtyard for two of our 3 nights, which could be heard clearly through the thin windows in the yellow room. The noise was nothing a white noise phone app couldn't fix. Breakfast was fabulous each morning, with fresh coffee and full meals, fruit and all. It's served every morning from 9-10, and fills you up. They happily cater to vegetarians. The family who runs the place is really great, and there was usually someone who spoke English in the office/front room at all times, 24/7. They are family friendly (offering PacNPlays), and have a dog named Soy who hangs out. They offer travel advice, will reserve taxis, loan out travel books, hand out maps, etc. I can't wait to return and bring my family next time. The only thing that wasn't too comfortable was the noise at night... But this city likes to have fun, and it is a hostel after all. I love you Dos Fridas!!!

It's located in a perfect neighborhood for tourism and is surrounded with restaurants, bars, parks, entertainment and plenty of tourist attractions. *they do not allow guests to visit your room. I do wish that would be a consideration of management. Parking is off premises and ** after editing and updating I did read the reviews of the other travelers. And yes the rooms are small, noise does echo, the rooms are outdated and yes bathrooms are small but that is not a reason to not experience the Charm of the Hotel & Historical Neighborhood for dining, touring, vacationing, and exploring. Too the restaurant is maybe a separate vendor or opportunity to up sale. BUT the price does equal the good service and food and unique dining and drinking experience and I believe the Staff provided very good service & have always been reliable & responsive.
