Everything was excellent about this hostel. It was my first time ever staying in a hostel, so I wasn't sure what to expect but the staff is friendly, the check in and check out policies are easy, the rooms are modern, there are many fun amenities including social events for guests to get to know the staff and one another, the facilities are clean, and the location is downtown Mexico City about a 30 minute walk away from major locations like the Museo de Bellas Artes, the square near the Presidental House, etc. Fares are cheap, so if you are thinking about Barrio Downtown, don't hesitate!

The hostelería El hotel está convenientemente ubicado en el centro histórico. Para quienes visitan la ciudad de México por primera vez, este sería ideal para viajeros. La zona es muy bulliciosa, con muchos negocios, lo que hace que la calle sea muy ruidosa y llena de gente local y turistas. No hay aire acondicionado en las habitaciones, por lo que puede hacer calor. Ofrecen tours grupales, que son una excelente manera de ver las principales atracciones de la ciudad México.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The walls were extremely thin. I paid for a private room, but I was constantly awakened because it was like sleeping a common area. I could hear full conversations from other rooms, even phone calls, word for word. The bar is seldom staffed. Instead, there is a vending machine that dispenses “almost cold” beer, but it pre‑shakes the cans for you. At this price point, there are much better options in the area. The private rooms share a communal shower, which (in my experience) was only cleaned about every three days. I repeatedly saw the same filth there day after day. The breakfast was okay, say thing each day, they need more tables as they have all this great outdoor seating but almost no tables. Also only one small sick to wash your dishes so you may wait a while is a groups is leaving or someone takes 5 minutes to wash a single plate.. and than washes the sink to get ride of the soap bubbles
