Reviews of Umbral, Curio Collection By Hilton

• Armando from United States – 29 March 2025 (8/10)

  Good location when visiting the Centro Histórico, if you venture beyond the centro traffic can be a problem. Comfortable room, great bath and shower, and very good breakfast provided. Service throughout the property was excellent.

• Laura from Austria – 17 March 2025 (8/10)

  We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was very nice and attentive. The rooms were spacious with real, cozy European-style blankets. Water pressure in shower was great (very important for ladies with long hair 😊). The location is perfect—just a short walk to the main square in Mexico City.
  
  What could be improved: What I didn’t like as much was that it was a bit noisy—we woke up around 4 a.m. hearing our neighbors shower for about 30 minutes.
  Also, in some parts of the room, the wall paint wasn’t applied very well, which didn’t look great. And there were visible streaks on the floors from cleaning or mopping.

• Julien from United Kingdom – 20 February 2025 (9/10)

  The building is surprising and has been beautifully renovated
  
  What could be improved: The location is nice but is maybe missing bars and restaurants but great to feel the local vibe

• Keval from United States – 13 February 2025 (8/10)

  Great aesthetics, the cocktail bar was top tier.
  
  What could be improved: Felt like a welcoming place for CERTAIN people in terms of the breakfast experience but absolutely awesome in general.

• Lucas from Australia – 7 October 2024 (9/10)

  Incredible shower, great cafe and rooftop pool

• Dharmender from United Kingdom – 27 March 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful hotel, with great design. Super comfortable beds, bathrooms with great products and showers. Also, a fantastic rooftop with pool.
  
  What could be improved: The location was not idea for exploring the more fun and vibrant areas of CMDX, which meant we had to spend time taking taxis to get to fun bars, restaurants, and neighbourhoods.

• Sonia from United States – 13 February 2024 (8/10)

  Good staff and quick service; nice location in the downtown area. The in house coffee / juice / snack place was really good- great food options and good quality coupled with efficient service.
  
  What could be improved: The property had a bit of desolate look about it – maybe it was the lighting.

• Thomas from United Arab Emirates – 8 August 2023 (7/10)

  Place is clean and the bed is very comfortable. The location is just next to Zocalo what makes it a perfect place for visiting Centro Historico. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
  
  What could be improved: The entire hotel is extremely dark from the lobby to the rooms. Our room was relatively small and had a window facing a wall what is a bit unfortunate when you are paying more than $200/night for an hotel room.

• Mimi from United States – 19 February 2023 (9/10)

  Loved the outside restaurant upstairs for breakfast. The groovy places downstairs were fun as well!
  
  What could be improved: For me, the neighborhood was a little too business-person feeling. However, it was safe and close to the square, which was appreciated!

• Dan from United Kingdom – 3 December 2022 (8/10)

  The quality of the rooms is very high, exceeded our expectations.
  The location is very central however we prefer to stay in Roma Norte as it is a very nice area.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was poor standard for a Hilton – we did not get everything that was on the dishes we ordered and the staff seemed confused at what the offering was.
