Great hostel. Brilliant location. Stayed for four nights, but really only met people on the last night which was a shame.

The first and best hostel I ever stayed at. Only one thing, the WIFI was not working in the room.

Facilities were really great, it was really well kept and I was impressed with the overall service (good responsiveness and timeliness); however although the staff was very kind, I felt they did not always deliver their message properly and had a few accounts where there were major discrepancies in information given about tours and transportation (incorrect information which cost time and money). I'm not sure if this was just one bad experience, but it was very hotel-like with bad internet.

This is a good hostel , 2 minutes from the Zocalo, The historic building has character and the staff is most helpful and friendly. My concern : the innercourt echoes every little noise made! Light sleepers: rooms facing the innercourt are not recommended! Also, quiet time is at midnight which is much too late. Security and staff might continue conversing after this time, creating unwanted noise (echo). Manager Dena is aware. After 3 sleepless nights I got rm 36 to myself and could sleep

Much better than what expected for the price. Free wifi and free breakfast were awesome. The staff were mostly very helpful, the only problem we had was it was a bit quiet - if you're looking to meet a few other travellers and party in Mexico City, choose another hostel. Otherwise very good.

Staff were extremely rude epically one female girl, I'm sure there's alot of unemployed people that would kill for her job. It doesn't take much to smile and to be nice. Such a shame because the place has a excellent location and is very clean, nice brekky with friendly male cook but that girl just ruined the vibe

Bit of a pain walking down a flight of steps from the fourth floor to the third every time I needed to use the bathroom/toilet. Great breakfast though, friendly staff and location couldn't be more central.

Full mosquito room : receptionist's advice was do not open the window ! Usual staff useless : strange , the experience was not very bad . Value for money is high .

No curtains, so there was too much sun light in the morning and people from other buildings could see you in your bedroom. Dirty bathrooms. Girls bathrooms only in the second floor. They promised breakfast at 7 am and forgot to tell the kitchen staff to prepare it earlier in the day we were leaving the city, so we lost it. Anyone can enter in the dorms area - poor security.

The smoking area is right as you walk in the door. So you have to smoke a few just get inside. You really ought to have that else where.

clean enough and a good place to see the city from. lacked atmosphere and was very empty when i stayed there. a good hot breakfast was provided though. great hostel if your interested in spending your time away from the hostel.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable. I stored some luggage here for free for a week! Lockers in the female dorm are screechy and make a lot of noise when you open them, so I felt bad for the people sleeping in my room when I had to get up super early to go to the airport. Also, we ran out of water that morning, so I couldn't wash my face in the sink and had to wash it when I got to the airport. Luckily, I had taken a shower the night before!

Mexico City is not the best location to visit. The hostel was very nice but in our private room we didn't have hangers to hang our clothes or anywhere to put our clothes. Some of the desk people were more helpful than others.

Good place to stay but just lacked a little something in atmosphere. Nevertheless is a good choice for a central location
