If you want a true feel of old Mexico in a contemporary setting this is the place. The hotel "home" is beautiful with hardwood floors, cozy corners and beautifully decorated. Lovely healthy breakfast in a beautiful setting. Great location. Quiet and not to far to get to places. Plenty of local neighborhood restaurants you can go to to have a feel of living like a local. The Jalisco room is spacious with your own toilet and bathroom.

This is a delightful and beautiful guesthouse- so tastefully decorated with warm and friendly hosts. They gave me some good tips for getting around solo, helped me with getting a SIM card and made me feel welcome. The bed was super comfortable and my room was peaceful and a real sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and generous serving which kept me going through the day.

This boutique hotel in San Rafael is a gem! Cozy rooms, beautiful decor, healthy breakfast and a friendly staff make for a wonderful stay. The location is also great: around 30 min walk to Roma Norte and the same to the park of Chapultepec. Highly recommended!

This is an outstanding boutique hotel. Beautifully appointed, so artfully done. Feels like you’re staying in a chic friends home. The host is so warm and inviting and takes care of every need. The breakfasts are tasty and ample. The entire house is spotless and there are comfortable common rooms. When I go back to CDMX I will definitely stay here again

We had the most wonderful time in El Patio 77 when we visited Mexico City for my birthday in February. This boutique hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Over the course of our visit to Mexico, we stayed in El Patio twice, once at the start of our trip and once at the end before flying home. Our first stay was in the Chiapas Suite. The room is incredibly spacious, with a sofa and chair, plenty of storage room and its own bathroom with rain shower. Although it is on the street, we couldn't hear any street noise at all! Our second stay was in the Oaxaca Suite. If we thought the Chiapas Suite was nice, this room blew us away. It is gorgeous. The room is on the first floor, also overlooking the street. Again, we didn't hear any street noise at all. It is bathed in sunlight, incredibly spacious and has an amazing bathroom with rain shower as well. There is a little desk that I made use of to journal, and a very comfortable rocking chair. I would highly, highly recommend booking this suite if it is free! The complimentary breakfast everyday was amongst the best we've had on our stay in Mexico. The coffee was incredible, and the dish would change daily but always be Mexican / egg based. We also got fresh fruit, juice and yoghurt every morning and would always leave feeling ready to explore on a full stomach. We were there on a Sunday, which apparently is pancake day. We decided to opt in to the brunch they put on (this does come at an extra cost and isn't included) and did not regret it. Brunch was served in the atrium and we were given multiple options for dishes. Would highly recommend! Ana at the front desk was incredibly helpful with any and all requests we might have, and recommended some great food places for us to go and explore. She was also kind enough to let us store our luggage on our way out, since we had an evening flight but check-out is at 12pm. I would highly recommend El Patio, we will definitely be staying here again when visiting Mexico City!…

This was our first visit to Mexico City and we'd booked a lovely airbnb months prior until we realized the city was SO large we'd be better off staying somewhere where people could help advise us. We switched our reservation to El Patio 77 and it was a very smart move. From the minute we arrived throughout the entire stay we received numerous recommendations that were spot on. Although we'd done a lot of research in advance, there is nothing like learning from a local. We were steered clear of some of the more touristy (and not as good restaurants) in favor of outstanding choices made by the b&b. We also were recommended an incredible lesser known art market and a tour guide who was excellent. We stayed in close communication with the concierge through "what's app" almost every day. Also, staying there is like staying at a home. We loved being able to use the fridge for our wine and to sip it before dinner in the communal area. The staff is extremely warm and really work to fulfill your every need. Additionally, the environment is lovely and full of art. And the little dog adds a nice touch. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.…

El Patio 77 is a unique and beautiful place to stay in CDMX. Located in San Rafael, it's in a quiet neighborhood and close to some local food! It's about a 7 minute Uber ride from Roma Norte. I was blown away by the building--stain glass ceiling, beautiful common areas, etc. Wonderful staff, fresh daily breakfast, really comfortable beds, warm showers, and an authentic and kind community of people! We left El Patio meeting new friends from across the world. If you like meeting new friends when you travel, this is the place for you! All the rooms have thoughtful touches, privacy, and a sense of security. They also have some amazing sustainability initiatives. I will definitely be returning to our next trip to CDMX. You won't regret staying here!
