Loved the hotel, staff and amazing location. Just be aware the hotel is across the street from an historic cathedral that is closed to taxis/ubers so you need to walk a couple of blocks to get picked up or dropped off. But the location is totally worth it!

Zen space in historic city centre
Círculo is a revelation. Beautifully designed bedrooms, friendly staff and a thoughtful space. The roof top is well thought out. The bar could be more lively - it was empty most of the time and smoking is not permitted. But overall wonderful stay.

This hotel was probably one of the nicest hotels I've had the pleasure of staying at. Incredible facilities, cleanliness, and the staff were so kind and helpful. The surrounding area was not my favourite as there were lots of people and many big box shops vs. smaller local boutiques. Despite this, it was worth it to see the historic area and buildings that are famous to Mexico City. The building design and the room with all of the finishings were stunning and minimal but especially comfortable, providing an oasis in the middle of a fairly busy district. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

best hotel in Mexico City by far. The location can’t be beat and the view from the rooftop is unreal. service is excellent and we spend most of our time between the rooftop sauna and jacuzzi. The design and layout is stunning, you are lucky if you have the opportunity to stay here.

This is a lovely hotel with a stunning rooftop. On the rooftop there is a cold water pool which is wonderfully refreshing, a restaurant-bar, and gorgeous views of the historic centre. The room was really nicely decorated with brushed concrete and pastel cream colors. The windows of this room give onto an internal courtyard - not a big deal… for privacy you can close them. Minor suggestions: a little more little in the bathroom (mirror) and a dimmed light at the foot of the platform on which rests the bed (because it’s quite dangerous to navigate that in the dark)

A beautiful hotel in the absolute center of Zocalo and literally steps from Temple Mayor. Perfect for those interested in the history of the city. The food was excellent and the room was gorgeous. The staff couldn’t have been any nicer.

Stay away - contaminated water and awful reception
Jug of water left in the room for consumption was poisoned/contaminated with what I can only assume to be a floor cleaner liquid or room odoriser oil. Only noticed once I downed a glass of it, which caused nausea and stomach problems at 10pm before our long haul return flight at 8am the next day. When contacted, lady at reception couldn’t care less, offered no apology or remedy. And when called numerous times to ask for clean water, she simply ignored (in fact she was playing on her phone while the phone was ringing as seen by my partner). Clean hotel and nice views of cathedral, but awful and appalling service from staff, plus intentional contamination of water in the room.
