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.

I think I found this place through a travel blog and I'm glad I did! The location was great and everyone was so kind and helpful. The breakfast was made fresh every day and it was absolutely delicious. I was in the Emo room which has a bathroom in the hall, but it wasn't an issue for me at all and I stayed for a week. It's right across the hall and locked the whole time. I was traveling solo and the place was clean, quiet, and had great decor. I really appreciated the staff who were there during my stay: Aida, Elvia, Gaby, Eduardo, and Gerardo. They were fantastic.

I had such a wonderful experience at this charming little Mexican boutique. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay feel special—every detail was handled with care. From thoughtfully accommodating our off-hour meal requests to offering helpful directions and personalized recommendations, they made everything feel effortless. Their warmth and attentiveness created a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that turned a simple visit into something genuinely memorable. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for heartfelt hospitality and a unique, personal touch.

Great location. Excellent breakfast. Communicative and lovely staff. Was a great stay and really enjoyed meeting the other guests around the breakfast table in the morning.

The hallway can be quite noisy as there are no soft furnishings/carpeting to absorb some of the noise, so it would be advisable to BYO ear plugs, however if you forget them there are ear plugs provided in the room (which is a nice touch!).

We had a lovely week staying at La Palomilla! It was our first time in Mexico City and the b&b was a perfect way to ground our trip. La Palomilla was on a beautiful quiet street, well located, and the space is decorated beautifully and kept well clean. We were grateful for the hospitality, particularly Elvia's kindness and flexibility in helping us navigate our plans. The breakfasts each day are beautifully crafted and delicious - such a great way to start the day. One thing to note is that the rooms are not particularly soundproof (or at least in the Jr. Suite) and the space is quite tight. Because of this, you can hear the doors opening and closing on your floor and also hear sounds through the courtyard at the start of breakfast (this is helped by keeping the bathroom door closed). They provide ear plugs but those sensitive to noise may want to consider this in their decision.

We had a great stay here in the Tolu room. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful with everything we needed. They served wonderful breakfast each day with fresh fruit and coffee/tea/juice. It is in a great location as well. Close to many shops and restaurants. The street it is on is also quiet. If I were to ever come back to CDMX, I would book here again in a heartbeat.
