This was probably the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in: the entire place (including our rooms) was cleaned every day; they made our beds, washed our dishes, etc. On the other hand, we were limited in the kitchen (the fridge is locked so, I didn't bother buying groceries). Also, I owed $144 US, but he quoted me MEX when I arrived. I was tired & just wanted to get to the room (my cab dropped me off 1/5 mile away) so, I said ok. Later, I realized he charged me about $30 US more. :/

Very nice hostel. I definitely recommend staying here. It is in a safe location, very hospitable staff, lots of good restaurants and bars within walking distance, clean rooms, showers, etc.

Very good modern hostel at reasonable price. Staff very helpful. Close to metro and bus links. Dorms are set out very well. And the facilities are very good. Worth staying at if you are a budget traveller that wants modern living.

This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Has character, a good vibe, is incredibly clean and well furnished, and it is in a great neighborhood, Condesa. Their only offense was that they charge more than the price they list on Hostelworld, which strikes me as unfair (and is probably against Hostelworld policy). Still, it's worth it.

They didn't respect the booking I did, they told me they had only place for 1 person and my booking was for 2, and they didn't give me back the 10% I paid.

I stayed for a few days. The hostel is very nice on facilities and location perspective. Not so much on Atmosphere... but i would recommend it.

Fantastic hostel. Very friendly staff. Simple, but nice breakfast included. Only criticism, a hanger should be installed in the shower to hang a towel/clothes.

La Buena vida! This is a chill hostel located in Condesa. The Patriotismo subway stop is just a nice 5 minute walk away, and at night there are plenty of cool restaurants and bars nearby. This isn't a party hostel, but there are still opportunity's to make friends. I met some really great people there! Also the staff are extremely helpful, I wish I could give them a high five right now. Book this hostel and give everyone high fives! You wont be disappointed.

This is a lovely, clean hostel with amazingly comfy beds, secure lockers and free breakfast. The location was perfect in La Condesa as I am travelling alone and I felt very safe during the day and at night. The Metro is 10 minutes walk, the Bosque 30 min and there are cash machines, restaurants, bars and a supermarket within 5 minutes. The staff could be a little unhelpful at times. My only complaint is that it was very quiet and difficult to meet people.
