About

We are a cosy backpacker hostel on the Penthouse (4th Floor, NO elevator) of a historic building, in the center of Mexico City.

We are a small, independent, locally run hostel, built with care and shaped by the people who live and work here. We focus on community, genuine connections, and learning through shared experiences, encouraging a deeper, more honest understanding of Mexico and Latin America. From backpackers to backpackers.

All the downtown hot spots are within walking distance and you can grab public transportation a few blocks from here to get to any other place of interest, museums, parks, entertainment. We're right in front of the Police Museum, and you won't go more than a few minutes before finding delicious street food, local bars and restaurants and some more upscale options. Ask us about our favorite vegan and vegetarian places ;)

2 Kitchens: A big spacious kitchen & a vegetarians only kitchen!
FREE COMPLEMENTARY (SMALL) vegetarian breakfast every morning 8:30am-09:30am; we love our guests and we want you to have an amazing start to the day - we offer a small complementary breakfast up on our beautiful terrace!
Don't forget to check out our pop up bar as well as activities during the week!

This hostel has great vibes! Pau and Sofia are super friendly and supportive, the rooftop patio is a great spot to socialize, and the staff are organizing adventures almost every day. I think Centro Histórico is a really overlooked place to immerse yourself in a CDMX visit, so much history is right around the corner and there are great restaurants right around the corner. Only complaints are the broken elevator and lack of paper towels.

Had an memorable stay here. The staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Also atmosphere is laid-back, so it's really easy to meet people in a calm vibe. The location is great, it's very clean, the free breakfast was a good surprise every morning and I honestly didn't want to leave. I'd definitely stay here again!
