excelent price/quality ratio
some confusion with pricing; the confirmation mail I received reported a priced a bit higher than what was reported on Booked.net; anyway the price I was then actually charge was the lower one, so not too big a deal.

I liked the location, it was convienent and easy to find once you can get your bearrings, it was also easy to get to from the airport, again once getting directions though. close to centro, zocalo metro it works for what I needed it for.
no windows, which was strange and made it hard to guess what time it was (found myself waking up at 730 am, stuff dosent start around here until 9-10) plus I kind of think that is a firehazard but meh.. place didn't burn down while I was here so tht'a alright :)

Extremely near to a metro. Free breakfast which is pretty good.
1. One of the staff is either forgetful or dishonest. After 2-3 hours from checking out, I suddenly remembered that I was not returned the $20 key deposit. I went to the counter. Unfortunately, the man who checked me out was not on duty anymore. I explained what happened to the woman who was on duty. She said it was reflected on the computer that the key deposit money has been returned to me. I refused to leave and said in my broken spanish about the man lying and I am going to write a review on the internet. She immediately returned me the $20. mx$20 is very little money but it's the principal that counts. 2. I asked the counter staff to dial a cab for me. She called a private cab for me which cost a bomb! From centro historic to colonia Tabacalera. It cost MXP$130. I repeatedly asked the counter staff whether it is reasonable and she repeatedly said yes. Being my first time taking a cab and sick (I had diarrhea), I paid the money to her. Yes, the cab fare of MXP$130 was paid to her instead of to the driver. Fishy to me. Perhaps, things work differently in Mexico. Anyhow, I know taxi privados are more expensive after reading certain posts on foreigners being ripped off by restuarants / hostels dialing a cab on their behalf. To make things worse, the driver does not know the place at all - not unexpected since DF is so huge. I had to give him instructions once we reached the colonia in 10 minutes. But he took another 10 minutes circling around to find the street based on my presumably poor instructions. 3. Dormitory rooms have no windows - at least the one I stayed in. But for the price, one cannot complain. 4. The crowd who stay at dormitories. If you enjoy socialising, partying, hanging out, this hostel is the perfect place for you. I had an exhausting trip before coming to DF and needed a place to rest and recuperate. The atmosphere of the whole place isn't conducive for that. BUT, perhaps, you get rest if you were to book a single room.

During our stay, we were thrilled with the location of the hostel. It was conveniently situated near a metro station, making it easy for us to explore the vibrant city of Mexico. Furthermore, there were several good tours available that allowed us to experience the rich local culture. In addition, the room we stayed in had a great view of the cityscape, providing a delightful backdrop to our trip.
The noise insulation in the hostel was lacking, as we could hear almost everything happening in the neighboring rooms.

I got great value for my money at this basic but clean hotel. The location was perfect, allowing me to easily walk to famous places in the old city within 5-10 minutes. The staff at the front desk were friendly, helpful, and spoke English.
The hotel breakfast could be improved with a wider variety of options.

This hotel is in a great area, close to many attractions in the historic center. It's conveniently located near two metro lines, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are spacious, with a king-size bed and very comfy bedding. In addition, the hotel offers a very decent breakfast that includes coffee or tea.
All was fine, no major issues to mention.

The location of this hostel is perfect for exploring the city's historical center. You can easily walk to many attractions and there is a Chedraui supermarket nearby for convenience. The rooms are bright and offer natural light, providing a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a great service. The breakfast is wonderful, with a variety of options including fresh fruit and homemade pancakes.
There is a lack of sockets in the rooms, which can be inconvenient for charging devices.
