Our stay at El Patio was great, a little home on holiday. The design is beautiful and San Rafael is a great neighbourhood to stay in. Feels good coming back in tranquility after a busy day in the city. I was happy that we did not stay in the hipster mania of Roma or Condesa. If you like small scale hotel with personality this the place to go.
We absolutely loved our stay at El Patio 77 and we could not recommend it enough. The wonderful host manager Elvia (and her gorgeous dog Juanito!) made us feel so at home from the second we arrived.. We didn't want to leave! We had the best nights sleep we've had in months on the memory foam bed, the breakfast was INCREDIBLE (2 courses too!!!), really strong wifi, central location in the wonderful neighbourhood of San Rafael, and everything was absolutely spotless! It was so interesting chatting to Elvia about the history of the B&B and how they really go above and beyond to be good for the environment too - through solar panels, collected and recycled rain water, and locally sourced food and furniture. Highly recommend a stay here when in CDMX!
If you want to experience a real Mexico neighbourhood, with a 5 star experience, San Rafael holds El Patio 77! Housed in a 19th Century mansion, El Patio 77 is unparalleled! Designer Alan Favero has so tastefully designed the interiors all to be entirely sustainable! Recycled and rain water harvest water, solar powered, zero waste and all things organic, they have taken modern hospitality to the highest level. The delectable breakfast is healthy, authentically Mexican and so fulfilling! We were taken care of so well by the Elvia, Lupita and the others! Elvia (and her dog Bonito), especially, was our wonderful friend! She was gracious enough to let us stay two more nights when our flight to Tulum was suddenly cancelled. She assisted us with making calls for hotel cancellations and even figured out where we could go instead! (Sayulita!) The hotel is right next to the San Cosme stop where both the metro bus and train are available for you to take to places like Zucalo and Couyocan. There is a lovely authentic mexican cafe right across the street. We were also able to walk all the way to Roma from the hotel - took us about 30 minutes. We were a honeymooning couple, and truly enjoyed our stay at El Patio more than anything. We hope to remain friends with Elvia and return some day!…
Loved the neighborhood and the vibe of the place. Make sure you get a room with a private bath. Some have toilets behind a wall in the bedroom. No thank you. Allegedly the art on display is for sale, but we asked about two paintings and were told that they were not for sale? Service was lackluster. We asked specific questions about an art fair in the neighborhood and got no response from management until we missed it. An affordable spot, but don’t expect help or hospitality.
We were lucky enough to be able to book 6 rooms (a year ago) in this beautiful old house in San Rafael district for ourselves and our friends. We were all traveling together exploring the history and culture of this amazing city. Patio 77 did not disappoint (it has been featured in several travel articles in the British press) and indeed it exceeded expectations. Our group of 12 felt instantly at home. The staff were friendly, helpful and very welcoming. The rooms were really lovely, beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. The breakfasts were generous and delicious, freshly cooked to order in the open kitchen next to the dining room. It felt like being at home (if home was featured in magazines had staff!) If corporate hotels are not your thing and you are you are lucky enough to have found Patio 77 then don’t hesitate. Just book it! Thank you to Alex, Karen and all the staff for making our time in Mexico City so very special. …
We started our trip from staying at El Patio 77 and it set a great tone for rest of the trip. Our 5 year-old enjoyed exploring the plants-filled building and the courtyard. And not to mention the delicious (and nutritious!) breakfast that are prepared freshly each morning. Room was spacious with beautiful light. Clean and stylish bathroom with hot water. Andrea and her staffs were friendly and make sure you have what you need. This welcoming B&B is highly recommended for all parties!
We loved it! Location, every day changing lovely breakfast, the whole beautiful atmosphere of the house! Spent 4 nights here and would have wish to stay longer, this city has so much to offer. Would certainly recommend.
We stayed at El Patio 77 just recently and we absolutely loved everything about it. Andrea, Alex and the staff were so sweet and accomodating. The rooms were great...Vera Cruz and Oaxaca (on the street, so may be noisy). There are such special design elements every where. The hotel is is in the San Rafael district, and walking was very easy. But Uber is very reliable and reasonable! Try El Asadero restaurant for local flavor.
Loved it. Definitely a hidden treasure in Mexico City, it's such a lovely and cozy place where the staff are always looking into making you comfortable, Andrea was always so kind and attentive & the kitchen ladies are so sweet. Our room Oaxaca was incredibly beautiful, and the main courtyard is just amazing. Surely will come back.
Clean, green, very friendly, and offering wonderful amenities (especially the delicious food), this San Rafael spot has the perfect balance of easy access to the city's attractions as well as being just slightly away from the bustle. I highly recommend staying here the next time you're in CDMX.
