Really great lively hostel if you’re visiting Mexico City. Good location in the historic centre. Very social and lots of activities available. Music can be a little loud in the evening if you prefer a quieter place, but it stops around 11pm and after that it is quiet so people can sleep. Would recommend and stay again.

my 4th Viajero, but unfortunately not the best one. the kitchen is often dirty. my bunk had paper and tissue stuck in the ceiling that had not been removed and cleaned. you cannot smoke in the common area, even though it is outside. and the music they play is SO loud, even when nobody is at the bar. a bit strange. area is on the end of the history part bordering the Ghetto. please take caution when you go out!!!!
