Summary of traveller reviews

Hostel Mundo Joven Catedral in Mexico City boasts an unbeatable location right by the cathedral. Guests praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the rooftop bar offers fantastic views. However, some recent reviews mention that the hostel can be very noisy, especially at night due to music from the rooftop bar, and some rooms lack proper ventilation.

great location, great breakfast. everything else was awful! beds were shaky and uncomfortable, windows lead to inside the building so there's no air and you hear everything happening in the other rooms.

Disappointing Guest Service and Lack of Basic Guest Consideration My experience at Hostel Mundo Joven Cathedral in Mexico City’s Historic Center was extremely disappointing, particularly when it came to guest service, management, noise control, and cleanliness.

Stayed here a few times- this will be my last visit. Beds are very hard and noisy, terrible sleep. Insanely loud Fri/Sat/Sun nights. 10 people (2 dorms of people) were expected to use only one toilet/sink/shower. The rooftop bar is the nicest thing (during non-weekend nights) but since it’s open to the public anyone can go. Only 1 morning was breakfast veg friendly. They make you were a tacky paper armband for entry to your room the entire time like a child at an amusement park.
