Detailed Reviews
This hotel is human sized, near a park and restaurant.
The room was large and comfortable, we had some problem with equipment, but all was solved by the hotel manager and we have been upgraded to a very large room on the upper floor.
Room service was nice.
The manager speaks French which is to be noticed.
We spent about a week in the hotel.
Due to COVID breakfast is served in the room.
The back point to be noticed are the noise of the ventilation which can be annoying, the lift is small and not easy to deal with

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this boutique hotel. The staff here truly goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and easy. They booked us a COVID swab in the hotel for travel home, found us transport to the airport and shoutout to Saul who helped us get a portable AC unit at 1 am when the AC was not working. Location is perfect for venturing out in Roma Condesa.

The Hippodrome Condesa is a delightful small hotel in an attractive suburb of Mexico City. The building is art deco; the rooms are well furnished; and the staff is professional, friendly, and helpful. The room service is world class with fresh flowers and snacks. The Condesa neighborhood is pleasant for strolling with fine restaurants in easy walking distance. The hotel is close to a handsome park with a duck pond. The hotel has a narrow spiral staircase and small elevator: no difficulty if you're quick on your feet but otherwise not convenient.

I need to describe our room PH2. This was the executive terrace category on the top floor.
Our terrace was shared with another room. The doors to the terrace did not lock. Our neighbors could easily our room.
Our room and the other room used to be one unit but the hotel put some kind of plywood or hollow-wooden-door barrier between them. It blocked no sound at all.
The A/C didn't work. At all. It blew some air at ceiling height but it wasn't cooled. The front desk was unsurprised and said that someone would look at it the next day. I doubt that the A/C had worked in a long time. They brought us a small fan that did very little.
The room itself was fine. The ceiling showed some water damage. It was definitely a bit "Roma" in that it seems like it was a very nice place at one time that hasn't had the love it needs.
The elevator has one of those old-fashioned inner sliding gates which you must open and close manually. The elevator will not function unless it is closed after each use. People forget.
On our floor the elevator door opened so as to block the corridor. Instead one must exit unsafely with the wide staircase next to you, and if you are more than one person you will need to step down onto the stairs after exiting the elevator, before you can close the elevator door. Try picturing loading and unloading luggage.
I should stay that the staff was polite and did their best. They spoke very little English but still tried their best to communicate effectively. The location is fabulous.

Nestled in a quiet and lovely neighborhood this hotel is wonderful. We stayed 6 nights and each one was quiet and lovely. The staff mostly spoke English and were happy to provide daily housekeeping and a laundry service. The towels were very long and fluffy! It was nice to have a seperate sitting area to plan the days outings. Would go back again.

Hippodrome Hotel Condessa is located in a great part of Mexico City, There are tons of options for coffee, food and outdoor space all within a very short walk. The building itself is beautiful and had a lot more charm than you would find in a modern hotel. The room we booked was nice, spacious and had a small balcony.
Everything was perfect with the exception of the AC. The AC in our room did not blow cool air and would not get our room to a comfortable temperature for sleeping. I spoke with the staff multiple times and they said they were working on it. After a few nights they gave us a small fan, and then a bigger fan the following night, which still didn't get the room to a comfortable temperature. In reading past reviews it looks like broken ACs and then the staff providing a fan is somewhat frequent so this is my only flag for someone considering staying at the hotel.

This hotel remains consistently a top choice in La Condesa. Flawless twenty four hour concierge service. The rooms are beautiful and well kept. The new restaurant offers a tasty menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A comfortable, quiet and tastful accomodation in one of the most interesting neighborhoods of Mexico City

The room was clean and well laid out. Location is very central and therefore convenient but is yet next to a small park. Restaurants around the area are decent. Area seems safe. Staff was friendly but there didn't seem to be a restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast was either served outside or in the room.

I recently went to CDMX with my wife to attend a wedding in Cuernavaca. We stayed one night at Hippodrome so we could visit some friends in the city before going to the weeding.
We just loved it. The Condesa neighborhood is also really interesting, with plenty of options to eat. We went out for dinner and the area is safe. We walked the streets and really got captivated by some of the architecture and the parks and green spaces.
The Staff was very hospitable and caring. It is quiet and elegant. And the antique elevator is a piece of art!
Would definitely stay again.

This hotel was perfectly situated for our Mexico City trip. Within walking distance to several great restaurants, cafes, coffeehouses and bars. The staff was beyond hospitable and Denise is the best! Hottest water on planet earth made for a great shower and the Nespresso in the room is a fantastic touch. Can’t wait to return someday!

Hellow Tristen, to make arrangements for transportation to the hotel you would need to email or call, they will be happy to set it up. Have a great visit!
Dear Mr. Connor, so sorry to have seen your question just now. Not all rooms have a balcony or terrace, please make sure during your booking process to request one as smoking is not permitted in rooms. Thank you for asking.
