Great place to meet people, nice breakfast and clean dorms/ bathrooms. I stayed at the end of oct 08 and was freezing at night, take a pair of socks! Would stay in this hostel again.

Good party hostel, good location. No self-catering though: can't even make a coffee.

The manager was a little miserable, it was very quiet but maybe it was just out of season! Excellent location.

Just don´t bother with the dinner, it´s pretty terrible. Otherwise, if you´re after a party hostel with lots of people to hang out with, this place is brilliant. If you´re looking for somewhere quiet, don´t bother! Staff are very friendly and helpful, beds pretty comfy.

Really helpful staff. Good location. So loud. Get a room on the second floor if you can. Stay at Moneda(?) sister hostel if you are after a calmer atmosphere. But fun for sure! Free Breakfast and Dinner a bonus.

Excellent value with breakfast and dinner included, good portions. Very loud barman and music but the ñusic stops by midnight and although the barman is loud he is a really friendly and nice guy. Very centrally located, 2 minute walk to the main Zocalo square in Mexico City. Good clean facilities.

We just stayed here as an overnight between flights, but it seemed like a very fun and social place. I've no idea how good the location is for people exploring Mexico City, but it was pretty close to the airport and they got us transfers to and from, so it was good for us.

Great hostel, lots of fun. Showers are good, so is breakfast. Dinner is not so good. Also don´t do any tours with the hostel as you can do them yourself cheaper and just as easily - we paid $200 pesos for the wrestling, which was a 5 minute car ride away, then we were given tickets and seats... more Great hostel, lots of fun.

Try and get a room on the 21nd floor if you hate noise!close

The hostel is very very noisey, ok if you want to stay up all night partying but if you want a good nights kip after a 12 hour flight, this place is not for you!

You get breakfast and Dinner, which is great! Simple traditional style food. If you pick a 10 bed dorm, ask to not be put in room #100, It is very noisy.... This place parties till late everynight... love it or hate it, choose before...

An excellent hostel. Right in the centre of the city, 10min walk from the presidential palace, 5min walk from the metro, bar staff that love to pour tequila down your throat. A lot of fun.

I loved Hostel Amigo. It is one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Its very lively and got a lot of character. Its also very clean and the staff are very friendly. You get a really good breakfast and dinner which is very good value for money. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone... more I loved Hostel Amigo.
