The honest take
La Valise sits at $1,008 a night with no price given for Nima, so on the data alone it's hard to call on cost, but Nima counters with a spa, hot tub and bar that La Valise's listing doesn't mention. Both are five-star boutique properties in Roma Norte with excellent guest ratings (9.8 versus 10) and similar review counts, essentially neighbours in the same few streets. If a spa and bar matter to your stay, book Nima; if you want Rosetta's cooking sent to your room and pet-friendly stays, book La Valise.
The look and the feel
La Valise Mexico City, Member of Small Luxury Hotels
La Valise occupies a converted Roma Norte townhouse and each suite is decorated on its own terms, not from a template, so the place reads more like a small collection of private apartments than a hotel. Expect the usual Mexico City boutique language of high ceilings, tile floors, and mixed vintage and contemporary furniture, with terraces on some suites catching the jacaranda-lined streets below. The signature move is room service from Rosetta, one of the city's most admired kitchens, which turns breakfast or a late dinner into an event without leaving your suite. It draws a design-literate, food-focused guest who wants privacy over a lobby scene.
Guests who want a design-forward suite with restaurant-calibre room service and minimal shared space.
Nima Local House Hotel & Spa
Nima works the same neighbourhood but goes wider on shared space: a roof garden, a shared living room, and a business centre alongside the guest rooms, each individually decorated with king beds and an iPod dock that dates the fit-out a little. The presence of a spa, hot tub and bar suggests a hotel built for lingering rather than just sleeping, with more communal rooms to drift between through the day. It suits someone who wants a boutique feel but also wants amenities to use on site, plus the option of a drink downstairs rather than out on Colima.
Guests who want spa and bar facilities on site along with communal rooms like a roof garden and shared living room.
Nima's facility list doesn't mention a pet policy, so travellers with animals have reason to prefer La Valise; beyond that the gap is really about which set of amenities each hotel chose to prioritise rather than one lacking scale.
La Valise is the more characterful place to be, because its power comes from restraint and individuality in the suites rather than a checklist of amenities, and having Rosetta's kitchen attached gives it a cultural weight Nima's broader facility list doesn't match.

“There are stairs to access rooms due to the age of the property however it is completely in keeping and a beautiful property”
Nima's guests seem slightly happier overall, praising a consistently serene, pampering experience with only a minor gripe about stairs, whereas La Valise guests loved the service but one felt nickel-and-dimed over small charges.

“Just... AMAZING”
We had a wonderful stay at La Valise. The entire hotel team is absolutely incredible: always attentive, caring, and available. They organized some amazing experiences for us and truly made our stay unforgettable. A huge thank you to the whole team! I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. Incredible team, incredible hotel, incredible stay!

“Great hotel, but was charged for 2 coffee pods!!”
Great room. Service was good, nothing outstanding. Nice and cute small hotel. However, they charged me $7 for 2 Nespresso pods. Really?? Yes, really!!! With the price of the room, they shouldn’t nickel and dime little stuff. I have never, ever been charged for coffee pods! For that reason, I will look for another option next time!

“First time guest at Nima House”
Nima house hands down is an elite level lodging 2 blocks east of Av Insurgentes sur road splitting the Roma Norte/La condesa neighborhood. Its location makes walking to each neighborhood easy, and simple for transportation pick up/drop offs.
The vibe of the hotel is quiet modern luxury with focus on resident experience providing a calm atmosphere to contrast the busy CDMX hustle.
