Hotel Boutique Casa Abuela María

There’s no elevator, so you have to carry your suitcases upstairs yourself. The hotel is also extremely noisy, with loud music at night and terrible street noise. Since the entrance is just a gate, the sound comes straight through to the rooms.

For a solo trip, this little boutique hotel was just right. The service was excellent, and I especially loved the terrace bar. It’s walking distance from downtown Zocalo. The bed wasn’t the softest after six days, and there were some noise complaints, but that’s what you get in a busy area. Everything else was good. I’ll definitely be back!

The room had been ready for hours, but they still made me wait in the lobby until 3 o’clock. Total BS. The hotel has some nice touches and a nice terrace restaurant, but the rooms all face inward and are noisy. It seems like they’re trying to be a boutique hotel.

The room and bed were both comfortable, though small, and the hotel is nicely decorated in a great location. Breakfast was good, if not sumptuous. There’s also a terrace bar and restaurant, which looked nice, though we didn’t eat or drink there. I’d suggest serving breakfast on the terrace. That would have made it excellent.
