Colima 71 Art - Community - Hotel

The customer service at this hotel goes above and beyond to make you happy, from the check in to the breakfast and they even offer a free tour of the Colonia Roma, the rooms are very big, comfortable beds, amazing breakfasts with bread from panaderia Rosetta, I arrived with my daughter and I asked for an extra bed and in no time they put a comfortable little bed for her, usually I pay for the extra bed but the hotel told me is not necessary, love the decoration and the style of the hotel,

First, the positive. The staff is very good and very helpful. The place is very clean. The bed was comfortable. The place is a bit utilitarian, so the chairs in the room are less than comfortable and the bathroom a bit cramped. The lighting in the room is odd in that one side of the room was well lit, but the other side very dimly lit. . The biggest problem, and not a minor one, is that the place is a safety hazard. The stairways are a major safety hazard. I fell down the steps once and almost fell again two more times. Fortunately, I only suffered bruises, but bones could easily have been broken or worse. The steps are very, very poorly lit and are uniformly colored in very dark shades, so it is virtually impossible to actually see the steps. Making it worse is that the hotel has not even bothered to put in a banister on the stairway from the entrance to the lobby, and has failed to put in any kind of visible strip at the edge of each step to make it visible.

Beautiful hotel with inspiring design. Very clean, with plenty of filtered and bottled water available. Wonderful and helpful staff. Great location (quiet and walking distance from great restaurants and bars in Roma Norte). The breakfast from Rosetta is clutch. I would highly recommend!

We felt lucky to have been able to stay here before it inevitably appears on everyone’s Top Lists. It’s a wonderful place. The rooms are generous, the location absolutely perfect and the staff bend over backwards to make sure guests are happy. Breakfast on your own balcony is a treat and especially with food this good. The lobby area is super cool and the commitment to local artists evident. The hotel is surrounded by galleries, hip shops and the bars and restaurants are mostly walkable. The area feels very safe. We will hurry back!

“The best hotel experience we’ve ever had,” said my wife last night as we ate some delicious elevated tacos at a place called Tinze just four blocks away, I couldn’t agree more. We’re veteran travelers who live in Los Angeles and Hawaii. Hawaii is paradise and there are some pretty amazing hotels there, but they pale in comparison to Colima 71, both in the stylish modern decor and the incredible service. In the same way that you can tell someone is lying when trying to sell you something you can tell when friendly service is mandated by restaurants and hotels. Not here. You can *feel* that every single person who works at Colima is happy to cater to your wishes. You can feel that they genuinely enjoy doing it. I mentioned the stylish digs. It’s not just that the rooms are incredibly well designed and built, all of the little details are first class. Like dishes and mugs, all fine pottery (we stayed in a suite so not sure the smaller rooms have this). The shower products (made with honey) we delicious. The linens and towels were fluffy and buttery-soft. The neighborhood also plays a big role. We were here for nine days and only twice did we get on an Uber to go to other neighborhoods (and the Ubers get here in about four minutes, FYI) simply because the area is chock-full-of shops, restaurants (from hole-in-the-wall places to full-on gourmet experiences) within a short walk. The only detriment is that we’ve eaten soooooo much while here that we worried about gaining weight. But with all the walking we’ve done plus the gym access the hotel gives you as part of your stay (eighteen-minute walk from here), I’ve actually lost three pounds. Go figure. What else? Breakfast is included and it comes from the best little bakery in the area (Rosetta); it’s delivered to your room at the time you request it. Most transactions happen via WhatsApp and it makes everything so smooth and easy. We’re already planning a return trip to the hotel—and hoping to bring friends. One recommendation: Pack a bit light. There’s a place just a block away where you can get your laundry done for cheap. That’ll leave room in your suitcase for all of the cute goodies nearby stores sell. Must-trys: Rosetta (the main restaurant—and make sure you order the bread with the ant-topped butter); Brujas, a witchcraft-themed bar where the all-witch female bartenders prepare boozy potions; Tinze for funky, unusual tacos; Maximo, for a fancy dinner. At one point we just stopped trying all the recommended places and just popped into whatever place looks cool and never did we have a crappy meal. I think Mexicans just don’t tolerate crappy food.

Amazing boutique hotel in the heart of Roma Norte. Architecture and interior design are tops. Stayed for 4 days. Every detail was perfect, super attentive staff. Joaquin and his wife (owners) super helpful…definitely going back!
