Good location a few minutes from the 1st class bus station and a few blocks from the centre. Very clean & modern though the 10 bed dorm was very cramped and hot, which made for an uncomfortable night - especially as the Mexican school/student group whose booking had led to me being moved from the 8 bed dorm I booked, made a lot of noise each night without any reproach.

Nice garden area, free internet on computers in common room. Rooms clean and good bathroom. Would recommend and stay there again!

Outstanding hostel! Facilities were the best I've seen at any hostel. Everything was cleaned frequently (beds were made daily!) and there were plenty of showers, toilets, etc. My dorm room had a lot of space, locker, and shelves for storage. Breakfast was good. Only drawback to this hostel is that it is a little longer walk than others closer to the Zocalo (about 20 minutes). Also I would have liked better tour offerings (there were tours available, but they were not recommended by others.

Great hostel that is more like a hotel. Creature comforts like cable tv, comfy beds and a very hot and powerful shower means you get your money's worth. Staff very helpful and location only ten min walk from zocolo and across the road from a family friendly park. Recommend this place highly

Agree with other reviews that it felt like a hotel. The facilities there are very good, apart from the computers as half didn't work. The upstairs beer garden had lots going for It but shut a 9.30pm. The staff were generally ok, apart from the English speaking girl at the front who would not let me use the phone to cancel a horse ride after I had been hugging the toilet all night. The breakfast is quite good and the beds are comfy and clean. This hostel could be great, but gets just an ok

Don Nino gave us mixed feelings. The upstairs kitchen was great. Cleanliness was good throughout the building. Free filtered water was nice. Staff were friendly and attentive. BUT our room (102) was cold and damp. The toilet leaked onto the floor and created a wet patch leading to the drain on the bathroom floor. The amount and type of cleaner used in the rooms by the staff caused us headaches because of the ventilation. On 2 out of the 3 days we were there breakfast was inadequate.
