The beds were comfy and clean. Breakfast was 10/10 super delicious. Staff were really nice, Jessica helped me amend my booking when I made a mistake, also, she let us check in and take our beds when we arrived early in the morning all tired from a night bus. Overall a really nice hostel, very good location too, close to the main square.

The bathroom. The shower's water pressure was really weak. Toilets are in the same airspace with everything else so you can literally hear and smell someone else's business when you're showering or washing your teeth. People kept leaving the bathroom door so you can then smell everything from your bed really fast. The dorm was also kinda noisy and loud with so many people staying there, slamming doors and being loud late at night.

The breakfast was really nice and diverse. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything was clean. The beds were also comfortable.

Unfortunately there was only one toilet in the dorm. So sometimes when it's busy in the morning you have to wait.

A good-sized, doublebed room with shower-room ensuite and a large semi-private terrace. It had no wardrobe space beyond a few hooks and hangers. But very comfortable overall for our 7 day stay and toiletries were included. The shared common spaces were tastefully decorated in a colonial style building, with tiles and high ceilings in the room, and stone interior walls with lots of greenery in the courtyards. The kitchen and facilities were well equipped for meal preps and the daily breakfast was simple but with fresh ingredients and attended by lovely staff! The trio at the reception were really friendly, and very helpful and patient with our questions! This is a quiet place, lights are dimmed at 10 pm. The location in Centro is perfect, walking distance to most places of interest and the bus station for Progress.

The lack of coverage over the common spaces during rain.

This hostel exceeded my expectations. It is located in the owner's grandmother's beautiful, colonial house. It felt and looked very homely, with lots of outdoor / open plan spaces, inc 2 kitchens, 2 dining areas, TV lounge, lush garden space, with a plunge pool and hammock area. There is even a large tortoise! All this makes for a very friendly, sociable hostel. It was very well run, with clear house rules, very clean and well organised. A very generous, delicious, freshly prepared and varied breakfast is served everyday, which can include cereal, yogurt, toast, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, a Mexican dish, fruit juice, hot drinks and pastries. There is also free water. I initially stayed in a ground floor 4-bed, mixed dorm room, which had a private bathroom, ceiling fans and air conditioning. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. Towels and toiletries are free. The room and bathroom had a window, so was bright and airy. Lockable luggage storage was under the beds. Each bed had a privacy curtain and shelf. I shared the room with a bloke who snored, which could still be heard with ear plugs! I then changed rooms for a 6-bed female dorm room, but regretted my decision, as the room was a lot smaller and lacked windows, plus the bathroom was super tiny! There was also a female that snored louder than the bloke! The hostel put on a Mexican cooking class, which only cost MXN50. Guests were shown how to make empanadas ... my favourite. However, I read the hostel's online message too late and missed out on this activity, which proved to be very popular with other guests. The hostel is located on a quiet road. It is a very short walk to the ADO Bus Terminal and the main plaza.

Perhaps also put up a written notice of any cookery classes taking place.

What a gem this place was to stay in. A combination of hotel and hostel but with a lovely hostel vibe with lots of international young people mingling in the 2 well equipped kitchens making supper and snacks. As a pair of active seniors we enjoyed being surrounded by all ages. The room was comfortable, well equipped and cleaned daily. Our patio was a delight to relax on. The living and public spaces were scattered over many levels with lots of seating in nooks and crannies among many lovely plants and trees. Breakfast was good, not outstanding but perfectly sufficient. The staff were more than helpful. Checking in and out was easy. The location is central, about a 10 minute easy walk from the Plaza Grande. Restaurants, cafes and convenience stores fairly nearby. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A little bit more variety with the breakfast, but not a deal breaker. If you have difficulty with stairs make sure to ask for a ground floor room.

Gorgeous traditional house, with lots of different high-ceilinged rooms and beautiful furniture and ornaments/decorations. Like a large historic family home (which I think it is!), and the owner is a lovely and welcoming. The location is good - 5/10 mins walk from the main square but far enough away to be chilled and quiet. The free breakfast was awesome and changed daily, the ladies that work there to clean and cook were really charming :). The dorm room was decent in terms of space with comfortable beds and large under bed lockers, the bathroom was kept clean and was in good condition. Wi-Fi was good, and there are 2 large kitchens for guest use

The downside of the property being so beautiful and traditional is that noise sometimes travelled as the whole place is tiled and has old wooden doors - our bathroom door closing made a booming sound that easily disturbed other roommates. The majority of the hostel is also built around large inner courtyards which, as we were still in rainy season, were often pummelled by rain so everything was wet, including a lot of the seating/dining area. The small dip pools looked a bit dirty and weren’t very inviting, and the resident turtle didn’t seem to exist. The male reception staff were sometimes a bit too chill, our bathroom sink was blocked and after telling them nothing was done, I had to ask the cleaning ladies a couple of days later

We stayed in a private room in this hostel and it was the best of both worlds. Staff was super nice, breakfast was yummy and there were some activities offered (eg. Empanada class for 50 pesos). Nicely equipped & great amenities (kitchen, room, common rooms). We booked a parking space through the hostel for 100 pesos/day which was across the street, so very convenient. Just be mindful that they lock it during the night, so if you want to go in/out you will have to ask the staff for the key during the night.

For us it was not really relevant as we did not use it but the pool is a bit small and not that inviting.

The property was large and inviting. There are dorms as well as private rooms. Aaron, Gibran and Jessica were all very kind and helpful from emails to questions before arriving, throughout my stay and hopefully after. Wonderful location a few blocks off the Zocolo on a busy but quiet at night street near the ADO bus station. Bountiful breakfast which changed daily but had staples coffee, tea, juice, fresh fruit, breads, cereal, milk, yogurt, granola daily. Really enjoyed the cooking class on Thursday. This isn't a party hostel, it's a place to call home, chill, clean and well looked after.

lights off in common/shared areas at 10pm

Wonderful hostel, set in a historical building, not too far from the main square. The staff are very nice and work hard to make the place spotless and enjoyable. They organise daily very interesting activities. The breakfast is rich and caters for all tastes. The beds in the dorms are comfortable and have privacy curtains.

Having a night lamp near the dorm beds would be a great addition. It would make reading possible when your room mates want the lights off.

A very comfortable room with ensuite and porch-like sitting area outside the entrance, almost private! Inside, nice furniture with lots of drawers and a very, very comfortable king size bed! The ensuite was large and bright, toiletries included but watch your toes on the bottom border under the sink (ouch!) ;) The staff was great; the reception, food service and housekeeping -- all lovely people!

Nothing to report !
