The worst hostel I ever had and I am quite experienced traveller
Location
1. Dirty 2. Room was dark (no light), extremely small - no place for luggage, linen was not changed until I requested to do so, room was located that bad bathroom and chemicals smell went into the door 3. Room was different from those booked. Room was booked only for women however the men had been placed. Room was a worst possible place for living, i bet any prison room is bigger and much better

Got a female dormitory, but it was only men
Good location
Got a female dormitory, but it was only men?? Don’t really feel like this is okay when stated its for women. Towel and sheets were dirty with spots. Bathroom was dirty and didn’t even have a towel or paper to dry your hands

No thanks.
Location was great, price was good, staff was very friendly. We stayed for 10 nights and survived but would not do again. If you have cleanliness standards this probably isn't for you.
I think there's only 3 staff members total and it's open 24 hours a day meaning these girls are way overworked. That could explain why everything is so gross. You see them cleaning but never smell cleaning products, it might just be water. There's just an overall dirtiness to the place. The refrigerator in the kitchen is terrifying they definitely need a better system for cleaning it out, also the stove knobs are caked in grime. Showers all have black mold on the ceiling and there is only 1 hot water heater for all of the showers meaning they are always cold. The sheets do not fit the beds (it appears that the elastic on the fitted sheet is all stretched out). Our sheet popped off every time we sat down. It's pretty gross that there is no waterproof protective sheet on the mattresses either, it's just bare dirty stained mattress. All of the budget private rooms are in the lobby, so they are pretty loud. Pictures online are definitely photoshopped. This was our first hostel experience, so I really didn't realize how bad it was until we had a tour meet inside of another similar priced hostel that was stunning and didn't smell like hot trash (the lobby trashcan itself wafts throughout the room no matter if they change the trash bag there is clearly something rotting at the bottom.)

Fine room, gross shared bathroom, pretty good location.
There was an indoor courtyard area that was kind of cool and there was a really nice cafe next door. Close to a big metro station
The bathroom was pretty disgusting. There were specks of mold all over the ceiling. There was also no shower drain, it was just a hole. The walls of our room were super thin, there was a window in our room that let a lot of light in from the hallway all night long. The one staff member that was there the entire time did not speak any English at all. Lastly, we had to pay for an extra night and could not get a refund. Our flight had been changed completely and we wanted to switch our Sunday night to Friday night and I emailed several times and never got a response. Then they made us pay for the extra night anyways.

Don’t let the pictures in the profile fool you on this one.
It’s a nice neighbourhood and right next to a branch of Rosetta panaderia
The female dorm room was only 2 beds, but I’ve seen bigger broom cupboards. They wouldn’t give a key, so the room was open all the time to everyone and it didn’t have lockers so was insecure.

Great location. Decent value, but you get what you pay for, and definitely not more. Service was only good cause one of

In the first room we got, the door couldn’t lock. The staff didn’t believe us and took 20 minutes for them to come try it at figure out we were telling the truth. They offered us to downgrade with no refund, which didn’t seem like a very good deal. We kept inquiring about the other visibly vacant “double superior” rooms, like the one we had booked, but they gave all kinds of excuses like the system was down etc., before a cleaning lady chimed in and had the receptionist help us because my girlfriend is mexican. So he let us switch to a room with a lockable door, of the tier we had paid for. Great. Except the new room didn’t have neither windows or AC.

Bedbugs, dirty rooms, pictures dont match my booking and some of the staff is rude.
Location was ok
The room I got was not the one I booked in the site and did not match the photos. June is Mexico is rainiy season but its humid and hot and the room didnt have a fan and if open the windows the mosquitoes enter the room. The blinds were broken so no privacy, it was dusty and the floors were a bit dirty but the ABSOLUTE WORST WERE THE BED BUGS. At 2 am I was working on my computer(btw the internet is not reliable) and the beadboard had like small and large bedbugs. I went to the staff and he kindly helped me moved my stuff to another room but I was not able to sleep properly. Next day I was told the supervisor would show and he didnt, I had to call Booking to get my refund as Im sure they would have not done it without my complain to Booking. The kitcken doesnt have enough supplies and the bathroom in the first floor is horrible. Staying in this place was a nightmare and some of the staff gaslights you and act as like they were doing you a favor...I suggest you find another place
