Manu behind the bar is priceless, really good fun. Great hostel to meet people in the bar. Only negative thing was the breakfast considering the price of the room.

I had an absolutely incredible time in Mexico City and i think that in a great part this was due to this hostel. It was extremely sociable and I made some good friends here who i ended up spending all week with. The hostel staff were also hugely friendly, knowledgeable and approachable, partying with us in the bar by night and providing useful advice for things to do and how to get around the city by day. I would definitely recommend the hostel to anyone thinking of visiting Mexico City.

Great Hostel. I was surprised as it was better than I expected. Rooftop bar and also the restaurant/bar downstairs are great spots to hang out. My room was clean except for the odd baby cockroach but maybe that's the norm in Mexico. Thanks to Manu for being an awesome host!!!

I had the best time here! The atmosphere is awesome, the building is clean and in the perfect location, and there are daily activities you can do if you feel like it. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone going to the DF.

We had a private room with 2 beds and private bathroom. Nice to have the toilet and shower in separate rooms. No fan in room. Room a bit small for the 2 of us. Only one electric outlet, and it is by the sink. Our room overlooked the restaurant and lobby. Somewhat noisy even with the wooden "windows" / shutters closed.

great location and staff, only real problem is cleanliness, bathrooms are cleaned very irregularly.

Thanks for your comments! Common bathrooms are cleaned many times a day. Sometimes it takes one person to make them dirty. We will keep trying hard to ensure perfect cleanliness. Happy travels!

Easily one of the better hostels, have stayed here 4 times in the last 6 years and it never disappoints

For what it is, its fine. But what it is, is a very loud courtyard surrounded by 4 floors of rooms. We got a 4star hotel down the street for just a bit more. Either lower the price, or invest a bit in some soundproofing for the walls, i'd say. Other than being too noisy for us to rest in, the staff was amazingly nice and accommodating, even after we asked for a refund for the remaining nights we had already paid for. If you're traveling alone and want to meet people, this is the place.

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately you were here at the exact same day as the football finals and it did not help, also there was a big group of students staying at the time. We apologize. Happy travels!

Good hostel! Very clean, in the centre of the city and amazing roof top bar. Only complaint was that I constantly had to keep changing my key card because it always deactivated automatically!

We stayed for two nights and were sad to leave!! The room was nice and clean, its in a really central location, the staff are really helpful and friendly and the roof top bar is a great place to meet new people over some very reasonably priced drinks. We also really appreciated that they let us use the kitchen and bar after we had checked out. This hostel has everything you could need and more and was a great experience, thanks!!!

Cool rooftop bar at affordable prices. Well connected-turibus (recommend) starts from outside the hostel, good subway (metro) systems. Staff all friendly and happy to help. Often there are problems with the card keys not working at the first set of doors inside the hostel, but staff quickly sort this out. Breakfast is fine, lockers are spacious.

SO SO SO SO loud. Really fun/energetic place to be, but on nights when my sister and I weren't up for partying all night long... we weren't able to get away from the noise. It made it really hard to sleep at night. Also, privacy was a bit weird with all the windows opening up into the center of the building (too hot/stuffy to leave the windows shut all the time).

Would write all the names of your staff here but their are too many. They were all LEGENDS. I have worked in Hospitality Management most my life and you are very lucky to have such a good crew of people working for you. They all made my stay awesome and I will recommend you to all my friends. Take care, thankyou, and pat all your staff on the back for me. Take care J

Likes Great location for the city centre for walking, access to buses, tours, metro and shopping. Good tours operated by Wayak tours with desk at hostel. Great rooftop bar location with very affordable drinks. Staff at front desk and bar area friendly and knowledgable. Dislikes Private room with ensuite very small only able to fit double bed and no room for suitcases. Very noisy due to atrium design of hostel. Very hot at night due to no ventilation or fans. Roof top bar in desperate need of
