Jardín Roma By The Local Way Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Jardín Roma By The Local Way feels like discovering a well-kept secret in one of Mexico City’s most vibrant neighborhoods. This four-star boutique property sits right on Orizaba street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Roma Norte where the city’s creative energy pulses strongest. The entrance has this understated elegance that immediately tells you the owners actually care about design, not just filling rooms.
The Roma Norte Advantage
You know what’s brilliant about staying here? You’re surrounded by some of the best cafes, galleries, and restaurants in the city, but tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with constant street noise. I spent mornings wandering to Rosetta for coffee (it’s maybe a three-minute walk), and evenings exploring the incredible mezcal bars that Roma Norte is famous for. The tree-lined streets around Jardín Roma By The Local Way are perfect for those leisurely strolls that make you feel like a local rather than just another tourist rushing between attractions.
The Rooms and Comfort
The accommodations strike that sweet spot between modern comfort and Mexican character — you’ll find thoughtful touches that reflect the neighborhood’s artistic spirit without feeling overly themed. What I really appreciated was how quiet the rooms are, considering you’re in such a lively area. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and there’s enough space to actually unpack and settle in. Small details matter here — good water pressure, reliable WiFi, and those little amenities that show someone’s thinking about what travelers actually need.
Local Connections
This is where Jardín Roma By The Local Way really shines, and it’s probably why couples rate it so highly for romantic getaways. The staff doesn’t just give you generic recommendations — they’ll point you toward that hidden mezcaleria around the corner or tell you which food market has the best tacos on Tuesday mornings. It’s the kind of place where you feel connected to the real Mexico City, not just the tourist version. The property lives up to its name by actually helping you experience the city like someone who belongs here.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.5 location rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects how perfectly positioned you are to experience Roma Norte’s magic. Whether you’re interested in the weekend markets at Medellín, the galleries along Álvaro Obregón, or just want to people-watch from a sidewalk cafe, everything feels walkable and accessible. Couples especially seem to love how the neighborhood transforms from day to night, offering both quiet romantic moments and vibrant evening energy. It’s one of those places where you’ll find yourself planning your next Mexico City trip before you’ve even checked out.
Apartments in Mexico suit digital nomads craving leafy courtyards, tamal vendors, and reliable fiber internet.

Location
What could be improved: Property was very humid & moldy. No air circulation & the interior patio is totally enclosed again with no air exhaust & humid.Yasmina from United Kingdom – 19 May 2024 (8/10)
The location couldn’t be better to explore Mexico City. The Roma neighborhood is beautiful with so many food options nearby. The patio in the middle was a lovely place to hang out and the beds were comfortable.
What could be improved: There weren’t enough glasses for a big group but they did bring more when asked. A fumigation was needed as many cockroaches were seen.David from United Kingdom – 13 April 2024 (7/10)
Great and convenient location.
Good sized accommodation.
Ability to drop suitcases off early.
What could be improved: The property is a little tired with much rotten wood in evidence.
First day and night we 'enjoyed' several roaches visiting. Once we covered the open drains in the floor this stopped.
Off the central patio area were several glazed doors to another property through which we could hear people talking – presumably they (whoever they were) could hear us too.
Front doors to the 2 lounges were single glazed directly on to the pavement so every time someone or a car went by we felt we were sitting in public. We didn't use those rooms.Nicholas from United States – 20 March 2024 (9/10)
Location was incredible in the heart of Roma Norte. Beds were clean and comfortable. Apartment was spacious and had plenty of room to accommodate a group of 6 people. Wifi and amenities were excellent. Staff did an excellent job with communicating and responding at all times of the day.
What could be improved: Saw a few roaches in the bathrooms, however that was the only issue we ran intoNathan from Australia – 22 February 2024 (9/10)
The property is spacious and in a great location. The central atrium area is a nice, unique feature.
What could be improved: Just be aware that if you intend using the advertised sofa bed, no linen is provided unless you advise ahead of time.Tom from United Kingdom – 16 November 2023 (9/10)

So spacious and immaculately clean.Super helpful and friendly concierge.Highly recommended.Robin from United Kingdom – 10 August 2023 (9/10)
Fantastic location and a great apartment. Met at the door by a host to let us in and show us round. Loads of space, right in the heart of Roma: the best area of Mexico City.
What could be improved: We can't think of anything that could have been better: a really great place.Darell from United States – 7 December 2022 (9/10)
The location was incredible and right in the heart of Roma Norte, steps away from the beautiful Rio De Janerio park. The apartment(s) were well-appointed and well-stocked with thoughtful touches and decor. It was spacious and roomy, beautifully decorated and matched exactly the description provided. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place for your stay in Mexico City!
What could be improved: Not much, very pleased with it.
