Had a really great stay here. Perfect if you're travelling alone, you'll be sure to meet a bunch of people. The hostel has a great bar area which has cheap beers and really throws everyone together in a great way. Really good location for finding things to do and eat and they offer heaps of tours to get you out and about. Two thumbs up from me!

The private double room was very nice, it even had a big television with satellite TV.

Very nice friendly hostel in the old town. The friendly staff offer their own very good trips too! The bar is lively and good fun. Only drawback is that it is a (cheap) taxi ride for a good night out - there isn't much in the old town itself! But highly recommended.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff with great proficiency both with English and Spanish. Great place to stay if you want a bit of extra help getting to know some of the major cites in Mexico City!

I had a great overnight stay; the staff were very friendly and the facilities were nice. However, an innocent mistake on the part of the staff when I paid -- they added a zero, so I paid ten times too much -- wasn't handled particularly well. I was eventually refunded, but not quickly, and they didn't offer to pay for the banking fees for the wire transfer or the overdraft fee their mistake caused. So I ended up paying US$62 for what should have been a US$10 night.

Parties too noisy, weak wifi, some mice of computers not working. Staff not checking names against rooms when giving out room keys. No alternate fire exit. Our room doesn't have any window that opens to the exterior.

Great hostel. Met a lot of cool people here. Right next to the Zocalo and the craziness of Mexico City.

My friend and I stayed at Hostel Amigo for a week, I have to say that I have never been so impressed by a hostel. Extremely clean and safe, I felt like I was in a hotel! The staff were all great, they really helped us out. Really fun place to be, the bar in the hostel is a good place to meet people and the planned events are pretty cool. Not really the place to go if you are looking for a really quiet place to sleep all day and night.. I have zero complains though.

i don't know about the common rooms, but the couples room is almost a luxury! it was a marvelous surprise, extremely confortable. i couldn't imagine a nicer room i could have stayed in. the staff was very very nice and considerate always, always helping and giving good advice and tips of what to do around the city, etc. the music in the hall can get a bit loud, but inside the room almost nothing could be heard, so it wasn't a bother at all! for guests who like dancing i'm sure this is a plus.

Very convenient location and fact that open/access 24 hrs is good. Friendly staff. Cool for younger people with the bar and large screen tv in the loby.
