I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Acueducto for 10 nights just recently (Sept/Oct 2026). This small hotel is impeccably clean, quiet, and well-located for exploring the city. The views from the covered rooftop are fantastic, especially of the imposing hills to the west.
The Xochimilco neighborhood where it is located is very scenic and charming, close enough to easily walk to the central district while remaining a quiet sanctuary that I was happy to return to each afternoon. The cobblestone road it is on follows the old aqueduct into town, and has many fantastic street murals decorating the buildings and walls.
Within a very short distance of the hotel (without crossing any major streets) there is everything you need - several great restaurants, an artisan bakery, a drop-off laundry facility, convenience stores, an artisan chocolate maker, etc.
Finally, Emilio and the rest of the hotel staff were very kind and helpful and made me feel instantly at home during my stay.
After my recent stay, I can recommend Casa Acueducto without hesitation.
