Very good location to be in Mexico City! In the middle of everything. The rooms are a bitt muffy but alright overall. Warm water and even a bathtub! Good excursion to the Teothiuacan ruines. The breakfast was really nice, especially the bread with beans, bacon and pepper stuff.. :) Nice...

Completely depends what you're looking for. The staff and location are awesome. If you want to sleep more than from 2-7 am, don't stay here or ask for a room away from the stairwell. We could hear music from the bar, and everyone walking in the halls echoes like crazy. I'm not kidding about how... more Completely depends what you're looking for.

Great base for exploring Mexico city. Really recommend their free walking tour (some other tours a bit overpriced). Staff very helpful and friendly. Good atmosphere on rooftop bar. Best out of 4 hostels we booked through HostelWorld for our Mexican trip.

BiLingual staff very welcoming and informative. Tasty breakfast and dinner. Hot Showers. Clean rooms. Very Chill not a party atmosphere. No fans or window screens, so bugs bite at night and flys buzz by your ear.

Augustine was a great help always. This is a great launch point for anyone who wants to see what the city has to offer. The only thing that went bad was it rained every day, but even that did not stop a fun time in Mexico City

The location was great! The rooms and bathrooms were a little bit under the typical hostel standard, and I was disappointed by the meals. But in complex my judgement is POSITIVE!

The best thing about the hostel was the terrace above. They gave free meals up there, had some computers and had an awesome view.

I dont know if it was at the mold stage...rooms seemed basic, cigarette... more The best thing about the hostel was the terrace above.

A LOT of noise at night, you hear neighbours taking shower. Breakfasts not exactly as described on the website. Dinner DISGUSTING. You would be better up eating in the city, where you needs not to fight for a table seat. Staff sells overpriced bus tickets.

Great place but too much noise! People come in late at night & sit in the stairwells & halls having conversations at 6 am. The way the place is set out the noise resonates throughout the whole building. You would expect the night duty manager to keep the place quiet but they let them... more Great place but too much noise!

A good no frills hostel. Clean enough, excellent location and a good bar. The free dinner isnt gormet but decent enough for those on a budget. For couples there are a few hotels the same price so if youre not bothered about the hostel atmosphere then look around.
