We'are not too much into hanging around big cities. However, visiting such a huge metropol as Mexico City is noy so stressful if you follow Msnuel's and Aaron's recommendations. They are both excelent tourist advisers and hosts and are always willing to give you the best pieces of advice.

I spent two days there.Aaron and Manuel, the owners were very helpful with me. The location is not the best, but still, is pretty good. If you stay a Friday or saturday Ask Aaron about a place two blocks away to eat Quesadillas. Wonderful!

Hostel doesn't have airconditioner's, fans nor screens on the windows in the rooms, therefore if you are hot you will get eaten alive by mozzies.

The hostel is very clean and comfortable with a courtyard where you can have a beer and talk to other guests - and in the mornings watch the hummingbirds that visit to feed from the flowers. Breakfast is included but the kitchen is off-limits at other times. It's a bit of a walk into town but the upside is that it's in a safe neighbourhood and there are plenty of restaurants within about ten minutes walk. I'd happily stay here again.close

Really nice place, really clean, really friendly and helpful staff. Really. I definitely recommend. It's got a nice location, as it's close enough to Polanco and the Zona Rosa to walk, but is in a quiet residential area. I definitely recommend.

The owner of this hostal is really friendly and helpful. (he even took us to a lovely local market). We arrived early one morning and he had loads of sugestions of things to do. Nice garden and living room. The area is very safe. Its a short walk to buses that go into the centre.

The owners are very helpful, and friendly. There is a lock out period in the afternoon, but thats not that big of a deal. The major problem is that it's not close to major transportation.

A very decent place but with no real charm. Everything is clean and in order. The atrium is also nice. It is a 5 min walk to the next bus, another 5 min by bus to the next metro station. In total it takes 30 min to get to the Zocalo. The owners are helpful, e.g. with the laundry.
