Andaz CDMX is in a fabulous and convenient location in Condesa. Although I never took the public transit, my friend said the train station is only a few minutes walking distance. UBER is very convenient and I highly recommend it. There are a lot of restaurants and eateries nearby with all levels of budget. There is a convenient store right across the street in case you need to pick up water etc. The management really makes this hotel stand out from others I have stayed at before. After informing some issues regarding the room, the Hotel or Room Manager actually came to my room to discuss about them and made sure that everything else was fine. Needless to say, I was quite impressed and appreciated of their acknowledgement. So, here are a couple issues I had. One was the known sewage smell in the bathroom. I was lucky (or unlucky) assigned to a room with a foul smell. It became very noticeable on the third day. Their maintenance team came right away to fix it by pouring some liquid plumber down the drain. That did help a lot. Front desk was willing to change room for us but we tolerated it instead. It's just too much hassle. I appreciate how quickly they addressed the problem and made every effort to ensure our stay enjoyable. There is a Nespresso machine but we never got to use it. The electric plug doesn't fit into the socket. The room attendant tried to fix this by removing a table lamp to spare the outlet. Even then, it still doesn't fit perfectly. I was afraid of electric short circuit so decided not to use it. I am actually surprised of this problem. Do other guests not make coffee in the room? We had some drinks and food at La Terraza on the ground floor between Mondrian and Andaz. It's part of Mondrian Hotel. Breakfasts were also served at Portico Restaurant in Mondrian. Breakfast spread was decent and changed every couple days. Staff were attentive. Unfortunately, rooftop restaurant Cabuya and pool were closed for renovation. That would have been a nice place to hang out in the afternoon after sightseeing. The hotel is beautiful and well maintained. There are a lot staff and security around the hotel and we always felt safe and welcome. Everyone I encountered were friendly and professional. I really do hope that they can address the sewage smell issue. It is just not appropriate for a 5 star hotel. Aside from this, staff, service, location, room, common areas are all top notch. I would definitely return to this hotel if I ever visit Mexico City again, provided the sewage smell problem is resolved.
