It was our first experience booking a room with a shared bathroom but it turned out to be even better than we expected: the hostel had several bathrooms on our floor and the one that was closer to us was almost always free. We loved the area, very close to Zocalo and free coffee was a very pleasant surprise for my husband

The hostel is amazing! It's cute and clean, there are curtains around the bed, so you kinda have a small room for yourself and don't have to change like a contortionist on your bed or in the bathrooms. The breakfast is good and changes every day, and there's free water. The staff is amazing, and make the vibe very nice for everyone who's staying there! If you're looking for a party hostel this is not your place, if you're looking for a very social and chill one, this is THE place! The hostel organizes free activities both at the hostel and at a nearby bar.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I liked everything at this hostel, the hostel is close to everything and I felt safe in the area. The only downside for me was that breakfast was being served quiet late considering the start of the tours. Other than that, it's all great and I would come back.

    Nice and friendly staff (not english speaking but made use of translation apps) who let me wait when I arrived early and waiting for a night bus after check out. The hostel is very well located close to the main square within short walk of all the main sights. It feels very safe with a key issues to guests for the front door. The reception area has free coffee, water, biscuits and fruits for breakfast. The room was well appointed with hot water and wifi. Lovely roof terrace for relaxing in the evening too.

    Cute and very clean little hostel. Friendly staff members. I felt safe as there was always someone around at the reception when I stayed there. And it was very quiet (I barely even saw other guests). The neighborhood is within walking distance of the main points of interest in town.

    Great location, a few blocks from the centre, but do not walk around after 11/12pm, good to ask for a taxi number at the reception and use it even for a short ride if coming back late at night. Staff is very helpful and attentive, pays attention to safety. Nice, basic rooftop to chill. Great choice for travelers looking for private suite that like peace and quiet. It’s not a hostel if one’s looking some social interactions.
