Everything was perfect

Meticoulosly clean, nice staff , fantastic breakfast

Stayed in June 2025

Things to note, but not dislikes - as with the few houses that I've visited in the area (and according to friends who live there), lack of air conditioning and screens in fairly normal. The temperatures usually cool off enough at night so getting a good cross breeze going when returning for the evening was just fine. Also water pressure is also something that is often lower in the area. It's quite usable, but if you need power shower you might want to call in advance to any place you're considering. However if you want authentic and a bit of the magic of Mexico, then it's just part of the experience.

Fernando is the owner of the property and he really is a wonderful host along with Jorge. They are both so helpful - with good ideas for what to see and do - and some insider tips. Strawberry jam to die for! Fernando was very communicative in advance of my arrival. As I was traveling alone to a pretty unfamiliar city, it was great to have someone I felt I could ask for information if things went wonky after I arrived. He's also a terrific cook with tasty meals and very accommodating of people's needs. Both he and Jorge speak English and Spanish, and probably some other languages :-) The room was cleaned and straightened daily. The property is very nice - old school charm. Nothing trendy, but very traditional and welcoming - thank you!

Maria del Alma offered an authentic Mexican experience in a beautiful home that has been in the owner’s family for over 100 years. We did not lack for anything during our stay - the house was located in a safe walking neighborhood, the rooms were extremely clean, fast WiFi was available, the showers had hot water, and you were even able to flush toilet paper in the restrooms. We also loved the fact that their housekeepers refreshed our rooms and even changed our bedsheets extremely often. It was a joy to wake up to breakfast and coffee cooked by the owner each morning, who was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in multiple subjects. He was happy to give us suggestions for our itinerary and make sure that our stay was as pleasant as possible. A convenience store (where you can purchase packs of water, toiletries, and other essentials), many coffee shops and restaurants, a pharmacy, the plaza where a market is located, the Frida Kahlo Museum, and a tour bus stop were all located within blocks of the house, making this an ideal location for any tourists. We are so grateful to Don Fernando and Don Jorge for their hospitality and loved every minute of our time at Maria del Alma.

Hmmm...one night my husband ended up with numerous mosquitos bites. I had none! We did keep windows and even the patio door open for the fresh air. It would have been nice to have some programs like Netflix; I watched Mexican news channels instead!

Jorge and Fernando were so kind and helpful. The grounds are lovely; the location is ideal. Our stay felt so comfortable, safe and accommodating. It was a pleasant surprise that our room was cleaned and refreshed every day. The breakfasts were excellent; in 10 days we did not have the same breakfast twice, except every breakfast began with a delightful serving of fresh fruit. If I have the opportunity to return to Mexico City I would want to stay at Maria del Alma House!

We had a large room that was great but the double bed was small. I would suggest putting at least a queen bed there- there is plenty of room!

Great location, nice staff, lovely breakfast

Honestly, everything was great.

We had a wonderful 8-day stay at Maria Del Alma House. Fernando and Jorge are welcoming hosts and gave us good advice about things to do and see as well as practicalities of things like transportation. The room was comfortable and very clean, the patio and garden are delightful. Daily hot breakfast with fresh fruit was delicious. We enjoyed meeting and talking with the other guests over breakfast as well. Located on a quiet street, but very close to the central plaza of Coyacoan.

The water pressure was just a trickle in the shower.

Fernando and Jorge were absolutely delightful and kind hosts. The property felt like a lovely oasis but steps away from all the places we wanted to be.

Fernando is a warm and gracious host; his breakfasts reflect his experience in fine dining. The property is gorgeous, the grounds well kept, the room and bed quite comfortable and the location, between Viveros and the center of Coyoacan and a few blocks from the Casa Azul, can't be beat.

Breakfast is only served for an hour (super early)

Es una casa tradicional de Coyoacán, los anfitriones son muy amables y accesibles

This guest house is amazing! My room was huge and overlooked the beautiful gardens below, and it had a large terrace with lots of plants and birds - quite an oasis. The location is great, a few blocks from the center of Coyoacan but very safe and quiet. Fernando and Jorge were so welcoming and helpful.

The owners are the most friendly and engaging people you can imagine. That and breakfast with the other guests was wonderful. It all felt wonderfully homey.

Nothing

The breakfast, the garden, the accommodations

Stayed in December 2024

The only thing I would say is that there are no blackout curtains in the room so the room is very bright as soon as the sun is out. This could be an issue for some who want to sleep in or in the summer when the day is up early.

We had an amazing stay! Fernando and Jorge were very attentive hosts, always made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great advice for things to so and places to visit. The breakfasts were delicious with freshly squeezed fruit juice, fresh fruits, toasts with jam, and a different hot dish of local breakfast food (homecooked by Fernando) every day. The room was spacious, comfortable with all the equipment needed, including new water bottles every day. The balcony allowed us to enjoy calm moments with a view over the very pretty garden. Lastly, the location is awesome, just a few blocks away from the main attractions in Coyoacan (Frida Khalo museum, main Plaza, market, etc) Pick-up was also a breeze from the airport and there are plenty if Ubers in the neighborhood to go explore other places of the city. Can't recommend this place enough!

The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating - they maintain a charming home that feels like a garden oasis in the middle of Coyoacán. Each morning, they cooked us a delicious authentic breakfast, and for a small fee, they did our laundry for us. The room was clean, beautiful, and inviting, and we had access to a lovely balcony area. I can not overstate that the friendly staff were the best feature. They made us feel at home and relaxed in a city foreign to us. I highly recommend staying here. My wife and I will certainly return someday. When we do, we will make fewer plans just to spend more time at the house.

Nothing to mention

Fernando and Jorge are very pleasant, gentle and nice persons …

Stayed in December 2024

This gorgeous homely property was a delight and Fernando an excellent and charming Host. Only footsteps from the legendary Frida Kahlo museum and a short walk to the centre of beautiful Coyoacán. It was lovely to stay in a more intimate setting than large hotels. All the guests could breakfast and chat together. Giorgio (George) looked after us all at breakfast exceptionally well. Our blue room with terrace was like our own Casa Azul!

I found myself feeling pretty cold for the first couple of nights, when temperatures in the area dropped. It would have been nice to have had a wall heater. I didn't use the small portable electric heater over night, since there have been a reports of the danger of these heaters tipping over. And, the shower drain wash partially clogged.

It has a great location in Coyoacan. It is a lovely building with attractive inviting rooms. The bed was very comfortable in a spacious well decorated room. The woman doing room service does and great job with daily cleaning and remaking the bed. It's nice touch. The breakfasts are really good, and add a special touch to staying there.
