Habitaciones Coyoacan (UNAM)

The location was great, it was nice and quiet, very secure.

It was advertised as two double beds, and they don't have a room like in the picture. The day we were arriving we were notified the room was changed to a king bed and a sofa bed, next to a window, which is uncomfortable, and when it rains you can get wet. No AC and you have to climb a lot of stairs with your luggage to get to the rooms.

so friendly and helpful

Quiet guest house in excellent location in Coyoacán. Walking distance to many restaurants and to UNAM where we were taking a Spanish course. Spacious room with kitchenette where we could cook simple meals. Spacious shared terrace accessible directly from the room. Comfortable bed and super hot shower with great pressure. Caretaker lived upstairs and was available for any issues. Hostess was out of town during our stay (we met her on the last day) but was reachable to address any issues. Good value in an area with few lodging options.We will stay again if we're back in the area.

A malfunctioning light sensor in the hallway outside our room that flashed off and on at night. Hostess was made aware and was having it worked on when we left.

Everything is so cool here! Very stylish, but eclectic. This is a great place for the savvy, independent traveler who does not need coddling. The bed was comfortable (I did not use the stacked roll-away mattress), as was the bedding. The bathroom was very nice, with good hot water in the shower. I arrived earlier than check-in time, but they worked with me so that I could drop my bags and then return later once my room was ready. This was so nice! When you arrive, you will find a laminated page with the rules of the residencia, as well as practical information, including wifi passwords and useful phone numbers (emergency, delivery options, etc.). There was a great galley-style kitchen right outside my door with coffee and tea that I could make for myself fresh—at breakfast time or whenever. There was a community Nespresso machine (with capsules!), but there is also a drop coffee maker in the room. There was also a small oven, microwave, cooktop, with basic dishes and cookware. I had a small refrigerator in my room, which was also very practical. I particularly liked the corner desk in my room (#4) and the fast, reliable wifi, which allowed me to work during my visit. The location is great! It is a 5-minute walk to the Copilco (line 3) metro stop and a 20-minute walk to UNAM buildings surrounding "Las Islas", a popular campus quad area. Kitty corner from Copilco station, there is a 7-11, where you can buy many basic groceries. If you're looking for something more than uni student fast food (i.e. pizza) or street stalls, 10 minutes in the opposite direction, you will find Oasis Coyoacán, with a fantastic selection of restaurants and shopping.

Please allow me to clarify that I liked everything about this place. That said, I noticed some things that might not appeal universally: 1) The quiet times (after 8pm) might not work for everyone. That said, I understand. In this house, there is little to deaden sound waves, so any noise really reverberates and travels. I am rather quiet, so this was not a problem. 2) You are also expected to sort (into organic v. non-organic) and take out your own trash at departure, which some might find to be too much of an inconvenience. I did not mind this. 3) This is not a hotel, so somebody will not make up your room every day. This is how I prefer it, so I did not mind in the slightest! 4) This room is claimed to be a King suite in the listing, but the bed is not a king size. It is maybe a queen.
