About

Welcome to Casa Bolívar, where history meets modern comfort in the heart of Mexico City.

Housed in a beautifully restored historic building protected by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Casa Bolívar offers a unique stay that blends the character of a heritage property with the comfort and privacy today's travellers appreciate.

Instead of traditional bunk beds, our shared rooms feature modern sleeping pods, giving every guest a more private, secure, and comfortable experience. Each pod is thoughtfully designed to provide personal space while maintaining the social atmosphere that makes hostels so special.

Located in the Historic Centre of Mexico City, Casa Bolívar is within walking distance of the city's most iconic attractions, including the Zocalo, Bellas Artes, museums, markets, cafés, and vibrant nightlife. Whether you're here for history, culture, food, or adventure, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore it all.

Our friendly local team is always happy to share recommendations, help plan your itinerary, and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. We also organise regular social activities and local experiences, making it easy to meet fellow travellers and discover the authentic side of Mexico City.

At Casa Bolívar you'll find high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable common areas, daily housekeeping, and a welcoming atmosphere designed for solo travellers, couples, digital nomads, and friends alike.

More than just a place to stay, Casa Bolívar is a place to connect—with the city's rich history, its vibrant culture, and people from around the world.

We look forward to welcoming you to your home in Mexico City.

Brand-new hostel, very clean and with an excellent location, close to Bellas Artes, the Zócalo, and several Metro lines. As points for improvement: towels are rented, there is no shampoo or body soap, the bathrooms and showers are mixed, and the beds, although they have very comfortable mattresses, are closed wooden boxes with no ventilation at all, making them suffocating. Communication with the hostel prior to arrival is very poor.
