The environmentally aware aspect of El Patio was the reason for us choosing to stay there. But what we hadn't anticipated was the beauty of the building-photos cannot convey how spectacular El Patio is. In addition all the staff were professional and helpful. We were very appreciative that they were able to accomodate us as vegans with a really great... More

Finding this eco B&B (a rarity in DF) can be a bit of a challenge. However, after staying there a couple of days it was easy to orient the cab driver to it. With no signage the building looks like other stately mansions in this quiet neighborhood except that this one has been beautifully restored. I can feel that this... More

I wanted really to be near StaMaria de la Ribera to explore that area and go to Museo Chopo and that is how I found El Patio 77 which is in the adjacent Colonia San Rafael. All is very well done in the style, beds are comfortable but the issued one large towel should include a hand towel and washcloth.... More

Where to start? First off, I liked the host, Adrian. He wore a fashionably tattered electronica festival shirt and appeared to be in his early-mid thirties. Very chill dude, very helpful. The room we stayed in had a bathroom and shower down the hall which was fine because there were only like five rooms there so it was mellow (some... More

This is more about the neighborhood, I know, than El Patio 77, but so many folks already have written great things, which we totally agree with; we thought to add some other stuff. The Oaxaca Room was magical, the room and neighborhood was actually quieter than where we live in urban USA. The Museo del Chopo, in walking distance, is... More

This has to be one of the nicest, laid back, forward thinking B&B I've ever experienced. I went strictly by the TA reviews and was not disappointed. I cannot imagine a nicer place to stay. Very simple and practical. My girlfriend strives to have a small eco-footprint, so this property was a perfect fit! Unless you're a knuckle-dragger, you will... More

I had never been to DF before. My partner and I flew in to surprise my mother on her 60th birthday, and after the festivities we were exhausted! We stayed there and experienced friendly service, beautiful rooms, a charming atmosphere, and were able to get a good night's rest after, and in preparation to, a long flight. Thank you El... More

Without doubt one of the most original, friendliest and well thought out places I have had the pleasure of staying in. Me and my mum have just returned from a stay at patio 77 and we both left feeling genuinely grateful to the wonderful staff for making our stay the pleasure that it was. Thanks to Adrian for his help... More

My sister and I stayed there (first time in DF) for a couple of days in late January 2013 on our way to Oaxaca. Everyone at el Patio was responsive and nice - concerned - whether in person or via email. The map with taxi instructions was very helpful - I just handed the print-out to our driver. The place...
