Very good hotel. Excellent location, well decorated. The breakfeast is not sumptuos, but it is good. The room was confortable, but small. The same applies for the bed. There is a terrace bar/restaurant. It seems nice, but we didn't eat or drink anything there. I would make one suggestion: serve the breakfeast on the terrace. It would have been excellent.

This little boutique was perfect for my solo travel. Excellent service and most of I love the terrace hotel bar. Waking distance from downtown zocalo. The only thing is the bed was not the softest after 6 days..but other than that everything was good. Some complaints was the noise but you will get that anytime you are in a busy area. I will definitely be back!!

I had a comfortable stay in this hotel. Very clean rooms thought room size is little small. Location is best in the central, can walk around at night also. Breakfast was nice, fresh orange juice and cut fruits was a highlight.

Attentive and helpful service. Cute boutique hotel with free continental breakfast. Very central to everything. Rooftop restaurant on the 3rd floor. The only two cons are that it could get noisy during the time the rooftop restaurant operates, specially if there is live music. Also the main entrance to the hotel is locked at night, so if you are returning after hours you have to knock to be let in. Not sure if this is common in other hotels in the city.

My wife and I stayed at Casa Abuela María for seven nights. The entire staff demonstrated a very high degree of professionalism. Our rooms were well kept. The good men and women at the front desk attended to all of our needs and requests. As stated in other reviews, our room was rather small. However, our bathroom was delightful and the location is truly exceptional. Overall, our week at Casa Abuela María was very enjoyable. I would love to stay there again in the future.
