Roomies Hostel Parque México

There are no lockers for luggage at the hostel. There is a set of small lockers near the front desk, but I don’t think those are for luggage. The receptionist open one and took out a towel. So I think they are for the hostel’s use. They may also use it for luggage storage. There were quite a few of backpacks next to the reception desk. In addition, the room I was in had no spare space. The bunk beds were arranged in a U with the mouth facing the door. You could stand sideways with the door closed and maybe could lift your arms out with your forearms folded in. Your elbows would touch the door and the bed frame. The beds that form the vertical arms of the U are blocked 2/3 of the way by the bed at the base of the U. There are no common areas except for the hallways leading to the rooms. There are a few benches in front of some of the rooms. The only other space that is not a room, hallway, or reception, is the kitchen. The building and rooms are in a state of general disrepair. It is more than an old building. It has not been maintained. There is a small leak in the roof above the main hallway. The internet is not very good except for streaming video or audio to you computer. Then there is the staff. The receptionist was nice. However, she couldn’t find my reservation when I showed up. That has happened before, especially since I booked it right before I walked in. I wasn’t bothered by waiting. However, after following up with me for the first 15 minutes, she kept me waiting for just over an hour. She only offered to do anything after I picked up all my stuff and was about to leave. I was starving. She said she would make a manual reservation for me. So the thing that I took away is that she was very reactive, not proactive. This place is only good if you plan on staying out sightseeing or doing something until you come to the hostel to sleep. Additionally, you should take all your valuables with you. Only leave stuff in the room if you can replace it in case it goes missing.

I liked this place. It is an experience. The layout of the place is super exotic. It is like a labyrinth. I would NOT recommend for those looking for comfort or a more normal place. The room I stayed was good. The hang out places are cool like in the roof top. I recommend for those who likes an experience/adventure more than comfort. The price is the only thing that felt weird. Even though it is the lowest price, for similar price you can get a place more normal.
