One of the main reasons we enjoyed Coyoacán was due to our stay at Hotel Casa Jacinta, a 10-room guest house which exudes loads of charm and hospitality. My partner chose Casa Jacinta based on a Google search of Coyoacán accommodations within close proximity to Casa Azul. Our stay in July was ~$125 USD/night, which is pricier than other accommodations we considered in Mexico City, but we would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Casa Jacinta is managed by the quirky and kind Emiliano, as well as Sarah who was super sweet and attentive to our kid. Every time Sarah saw our little one, she checked in with her and asked if she needed anything, and tried making conversation with her, too. The staff can really make or break a stay, and the staff at Casa Jacinta certainly enhanced our experience.
We stayed for three nights in Cuarto 2, which has a barred Juliet balcony that looks over the front courtyard of the guesthouse. We also got a peek into Cuarto 5, which looked lovely as it has an open terrace/patio that faces the back garden area. The rooms have beautiful bathrooms, local art hanging on every wall, decent WiFi, and cable TV (not that we turned it on once–we were busy!). Casa Jacinta also has a common area dining space where they serve coffee, tea, and water, as well as a living space with couches and some board games.
The garden in the back was a great spot to kick back and enjoy the fresh air and greenery. We loved eating our breakfast out there. It was private and homey enough to feel like your own backyard.
Casa Jacinta is within close proximity to numerous eateries, as well as the Coyoacán town center. As much as we loved the proximity, we could have easily spent our entire days within the walls of the guest house’s retreat-like atmosphere. Definitely...
Read moreMy sister and I recently visited CDMX for just 48 hours to see Lady Gaga. We stayed at Casa Jacinta and could not have had a better experience. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, including helping us hire a taxi driver to take us to and from the concert. Miguel managed to get us in and out of the MASSIVE (65,000 people) concert crowds in record time. What could have taken hours only took minutes. ||The location of Casa Jacinta is perfect. The streets are lovely and quiet, but you’re a quick walk from the center of Coyoacan where you can find lots of incredible food and street vendors. It’s very walkable, including the Frida Kahlo musuem.||The room was comfortable and beautiful, from the amazing art on the walls to the tile work in the bathroom. Plenty of water was provided daily and the breakfast each morning was delicious. ||I would happily stay here again. With only a handful of guest rooms, you truly feel like a guest in a BnB and not a dollar sign at a hotel. Thank you to the staff for taking such...
Read moreWe had a fantastic stay at Casa Jacinta. It's an extremely charming, relaxing, and beautiful boutique hotel with friendly staff. I booked room 5 for the beautiful green tile bathroom, and it did not disappoint! I wasn't 100% sure based on the online photos whether the attached balcony in this room was private---it is! The king bed was comfortable. Guilty pleasure: I like watching TV at bedtime, so it was nice to have that, including a few HBO channels. Everything was perfect for our entire stay. The hotel is on a quiet street, not far from the main square. We loved staying in Coyoacan, for a bustling but more relaxed, historic neighborhood, and we based our trip around spending a lot of time exploring Coyoacan on foot. We visited several museums, markets, and churches, and did lots of "slice of life" stuff like visiting coffee shops, parks, even the Cineteca Nacional (movie theater). For the days we ventured out beyond Coyoacan, it took about 45 minutes to an hour to reach Centro and Chapultepec by car during...
