Reviews of Mansión Papilio

• Russell from United States – 21 April 2025 (8/10)

  The grounds and location. All staff very kind.
  
  What could be improved: Many of the lights were not working.

• Alejandro from United States – 27 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very relaxing place with friendly people that work hard to provide excellent services. It’s located very close to downtown Coyoacán. The full bed was very comfortable though hopefully one day it will be replaced with a bigger bed.

• Millsey from Canada – 16 March 2025 (9/10)

  The Heritage Mansion in Coyoacan is, quite simply, beautiful. Each room is a new treasure to discover, full of antiques and art. The grounds are a delight. The staff is awesome and both Concierges, Alonso and Enrique, are willing to go the extra mile to help their guests. The Mansion has an Old World Charm. The location close to everything and centrally located in Coyoacan. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
  
  What could be improved: There honestly wasn't much that I didn't like. I do have a few suggestions however. As the Mansion hosts a number of Special Events, while I was there a Film shoot and a very large wedding. It might help their guests to know more in advance what they might expect. However the Owner very kindly dealt with the issue in my case, to my satisfaction. Don't hesitate to stay!

• Olga from Russia – 28 February 2025 (9/10)

  The location was perfect. The villa is beautiful, French-style, with peacocks and a turtle in the garden. Nice music, beauty, relaxing environment, very friendly and helpful staff. We felt at home.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast (included) was very modest but when we ordered from the menu it was good. In the whole amazing experience the only thing I did not like was the coffee.

• Sheena from United States – 27 December 2024 (9/10)

  What a beautiful place to stay!! The grounds were gorgeous and I loved the peacocks always wandering around. The stay was so comfortable and the staff was very gracious.
