Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very attentive, friendly and provided quick service. Hostel had amenities such as outdoor courtyard, ping pong table, mini computer lab and outdoor seats with free breakfast cooked by one of the staff members. Convenient location as it is within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and bars. Only downside was showers didn’t dispense water well and need a little maintenance and renovation. Overall a good experience.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were really lovely, but the facilities were extremely basic, and a lot of the doors did not shut properly (shower and toilet). I room in particular had a dodgie doorknob which made me feel like someone could break in. The room was very hot and the outside noisy was loud. With that said, this was very affordable accommodation, so I wasn't expecting the best.

The staff was very nice but the conditions of the property and the linens were horrible. Old towels, mismatched bedding, the shared bathroom had no space, one of the toilets was always locked and the other wasn't working, no hot water in the showers. Someone would walk by my door burping loudly at all times and the hall smelled of cigarettes when it clearly states that it is smoke-free.

Nice place. A little out of the center, but there is a lot of buses. I haven't seen the individual rooms, but the dorm are what you need for solo travel (locker, clean mattress, curtains) and the common area is very relaxing with a functional kitchen and a lot if option for breakfast (eggs, 2 type of bread, cereals). The staff there spoke Spanish mainly (understand basic English) when I was there, but they do a lot to help you understand, and it's working. I would go back there.

Primero relación calidad-precio muy interesante, además desayuno está incluido. Luego, personal de recepción, la verdad, muy agradable y amable. Recomiendo tomar una recámara con baño completo. En esta zona, muchos bares y restaurantes, de todo tipo, fácil caminar hacia Chapultepec muy cerca (10') o el Centro (25'). Unico problema, estacionamiento complicado cerca del Hotel por los parquimetros.

Ma première nuit ne s'est pas passé dans la chambre réservée car il y a eu semble-t-il un problème entre ce qu'Expedia a communiqué à l'hotel et la chambre réservée réelle. J'ai pu y accéder à la deuxième nuit seulement. Le personnel est attentionné et a réglé un problème internet rapidement alors que j'étais en télétravail. L'endroit est bien situé la colonia Americana et à 25 minutes à pied centre historique. Le seul hic c'est qu'il se construit actuellement un énorme édifice juste en face et d'autres sont aussi en construction dans les rue avoisinantes. Il y a aussi un ou deux bars qui jouent de la musique à plein volume jusqu'à tard la nuit et ce plusieurs soirs semaine. C'est donc assez bruyant.
