Mexico Hostellit

Plussat: Kind helpful people running the hostel.

Miinukset: Climbing 64 stairs to the superior single room. It wasn’t worth it at all!

Plussat: Perfect if flying from MEX. Friendly staff. Offered to collect me from the airport. Breakfast was excellent. Bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly.

Plussat: The staff were really helpful with giving good recommendations for food & places to visit & for arranging travel to airport.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. They are very good for setting up a taxi to the airport, even very early in the morning. The option to cook your own breakfast with the available food is nice. The location is very close to the airport, about a ten minute walk, or a two minute taxi ride. I found staying there very affordable, comfortable, and perfect for stopping through while on a layover between flights.

Miinukset: Suggestion from taxi drivers that this neighborhood is "very dangerous." I didn't actually witness anything to suggest that, but the reputation had me on my toes.

Plussat: I arrived late ,about 2am. No problem checking in at that late hour. .Staff very friendly , and arranged a taxi for the morning. It is very walkable from the airport, but late at night, better to take cab or uber. Would stay again.

Plussat: Very courteous staff, in very good, timely communication with me via messaging before my arrival. There were some details to work out, such as my awkward arrival time (12:45 am), which staff diligently made sure to check up on, a couple of times, to be certain. Arturo (? So sorry, I keep forgetting his name) greeted; took my heavy suitcase upstairs, and drove me to the airport early the next morning, all with a very pleasant manner (and very good English, which was good since I was not so good in Spanish, in my weary, tired state).....The hostel is very cozy and clean and interesting, with some open-air interior space upstairs, and lots of plants and trees. Just maybe a 3-minute drive from the airport, it was very a convenient stay for my overnight layover, and I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to others. Muchas gracias!

Plussat: It was pretty average

Miinukset: There was no locker on the door, hence we couldn’t close the door and were a bit worried.

Plussat: It was a very comfortable, cozy hostel. I did not see anyone else in there during our stay and the person working there was helpful and friendly. It is also close to the airport (in a taxi), which is convenient.

Miinukset: As other reviews state, this neighborhood is residential and not very walkable. I stayed here with a friend from Mexico City who knows the area and advised me that we should not walk around. He insisted that we wait inside for the taxi before exiting due to security concerns of that area. Because he is from a Mexico City, I trusted his judgement and took precautions and had no issues.

Plussat: The bed was really big and comfy and the owner was super nice

Miinukset: The breakfast could have been better

Plussat: This is a great place to stay if you have a long layover at the airport. It is an easy walk from the airport. It was cool being up in the "penthouse" room. Nice terraces. Be sure to check to see if a street market is happening in the morning. (I was there on a Wednesday morning.) Although they serve breakfast at the guesthouse, I would have loved to have gotten a fresh quesedilla right outside the door instead!

Miinukset: Airport noise is constant, but I expected that to be the case. Nothing to be done about it and the trade-off of being so close between flights was worth it. It would have been nice if the night clerk would have helped me with one of my bags up the 3 flights of stairs.

Plussat: Authentic place, magical atmosphere. The handmade dinner was excellent. The district seemed a bit unsafe but happy to see real life in Mexico. Very kind and human. Anti-mosquitoes was provided upon our request.

Miinukset: if you want to go out during night it must be dangerous.

Plussat: So close to the airport! A must for a layover in mexico city. You can walk from the airport in less than 10 minutes.

Plussat: The location is unbeatable, right in the center next to the cathedral, the view from the rooftop is simply stunning.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not my taste, we had pancakes mainly and i couldn’t eat them due to my allergies. no alternatives or fruits. strict one plate per person policy, no chance to fool around there.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff and great location

Plussat: Location. Price.

Miinukset: 9 bunk room. Jammed tight at 6 people two of the nights we stayed. Maybe 12x16 room no window. No fan

Plussat: location and privacy

Miinukset: maybe the lack of bread with breakfast toast

Plussat: Natalia and Diana are the best!

Miinukset: More variety for breakfast, and toast, butter and honey available without the ONE PER PERSON rule.

Plussat: Love the terraza and the friendly staff!! They made the stay excellent!

Miinukset: I wish i could enjoy breakfast more often, but there's not self serve.

Plussat: Great location and staff, comfortable beds, clean rooms and simple but good breakfast! Nice rooftop with a bar and restaurant and the guy that works there are very friendly!

Miinukset: Was a bit empty.

Plussat: Location was amazing and the staff were great. The night manager was fantastic and helped me check out at 4am.

Miinukset: Washrooms leave a lot to be desired. The toilet stalls are very small and the showers leave you with nowhere to store your clothes.

Plussat: Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean, breakfast is enough to get your day started on the right foot. Great location near subway stop. Terrace view is awesome.

Miinukset: The first night my bed was very uncomfortable with springs poking me. I switched to a more comfortable bed the second night.

Miinukset: Henkilökunta oli todella töykeää ja röyhkeää

Plussat: Location is just off Templo Mayor and the Zocalo, as well as a metro stop.

Miinukset: The rooms are good enough. Clean, large lockers. But the beds There’s only one bathroom each for male and female, which consists of 2 toilets and two shower stalls. For the whole hostel. And beware, sometimes the water doesn’t run. So check before you do anything. The hangout room is not very good. This hostel is great if you prefer to keep to yourself. Be aware that this hostel is not very strict when it comes to noise.

Plussat: The proximity of the center and metro. And the staff who are really kind à helpful

Miinukset: The music player outside of hostel all of the day

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: I stayed in a private room, hoping for peace and quiet. The bathroom floors were permanently wet, the bathrooms were not clean and the humidity was insane. People were literally running around the hallways for hours on end at 4 in the morning, no control! It was the absolute worst. In the 4 days of my 14 day stay here, I didn’t sleep a single hour. I cannot fathom how there could be so much noise. The included “breakfast” was also mostly just a cup of coffee. I checked out 10 days early and lost about $450US in booking fees. Do not stay here if you need to ever sleep or be comfortable. Staying with one of the services that allows people to rent out private rooms in the city is a cheaper option and you’ll actually get sleep.

Plussat: The staff were very nice and helpfull

Miinukset: We didnt have AC or a fan in the room and it was wuite hot

Miinukset: The fact our room had mould and the door onto the balcony would not close let alone lock.

Plussat: the location is good.

Miinukset: 1. there is no charge besides your bed. 2. after 11 pm, it was still noisy.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Based on the ratings I figured it was good enough for a flight delay but was horrified by the area and the place. I have spent better nights in the woods sleeping on leaves and trigs

Plussat: Location is great.

Miinukset: I had room 201, the view lead to a « patio » which was extremely noisy all night and morning, the door didn’t seem to close properly which made us feel very unsafe, the towels where in very poor conditions, breakfast wasn’t a big deal either. Even though I booked 4 nights in advance only spent one there and changed to another hotel next day, the staff didn’t even ask why or if there was anything to be improved. There are much better options for similar prices, if you’re willing to pay a little extra go to another place.

Plussat: We stayed for 5 nights, each day there was something a little different in the breakfast. There was always fruit and cereal, and then something savory that was different each day. The staff were great, very helpful.

Plussat: The safety, comfort, location, staff, the service, and the value for the price.

Miinukset: There is nothing I did not like.This is a well located hostel on a quiet, safe street, close to the zocalo, Templo Mayor, National Cathedral, the murals at San Idelfonso, and the tour bus companies. It is clean and safe and offers excellent service, comfortable beds, hot showers, and a good breakfast included in the very reasonable price. I stay here every time I am in Mexico City.

Plussat: Clean bathrooms, tasty breakfasts new menu everyday. Very nice and helpful staff.

Plussat: Everybody from the staff was super nice, patient and helpful ! I don't think I've ever stayed in a place where this applied to the whole staff ! The breakfast was great too!

Miinukset: Dorm a bit small

Plussat: all

Miinukset: nothing everithing was ok

Plussat: The staff was very nice snd helpful, they gave me a lot of useful information

Miinukset: The room didn’t have a window, bed was a noisy

Plussat: Amazing staff and location

Plussat: Cleanliness of the bathroom and common area was good!

Miinukset: cleanliness of the beds.

Plussat: Friendly, quick responses to any requests. Overall a comfortable place to be.

Miinukset: They need new furniture in the lobby.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Worst hostel experience of my entire life So i arrived at Hostel Amiga on the 22nd Feb to stay for 1 night and check out on the 23rd. I made my booking on booking.com. The following morning I decided I would like to stay for 1 more. So I went down to reception where I was greeted by a sad excuse of a human being who started attacking me from the moment he saw me. First of all before asking my name he said there is a problem with my booking. He asked if I was Mellissa and I said no I was Maria. Then he continued to tell me that there was a problem. He said the hostel was booked for the night so I couldn't stay. I said fine but then he said I need to pay for 2 nights in a completely aggressive manner and an attitude that is no way acceptable for the line of work that he is in. He pulled out his computer screen and tried to tell me that I made a booking for the previous date. A date in the past which is actually impossible to do even if you try. So he gave me a bill for 2 nights. I said I was absolutely no way paying it. I just stayed for 1 and it made no logical sense What he was trying to do. There was no way he was backing down and his aggression was getting more intense and I was made to feel completely belittled in front of the audience of people sitting in the lounge area. I walked away and went to my room to pack my stuff and to try and process what just happened. 20mins later i went back down and I tried to show him again the booking I made and again he started showing me dates on the computer. Finally he was able to see that he made the mistake. Then he said ok then pay for 1 night. I gave him my credit card and I stood there waiting for an apology. It did not come so I had to ask him for one and he looked at me blankly and said I'm sorry. I have been travelling for the past 5 months and staying in many many hostels in different countries and I can safely say that something like this has never happened in my life.

Plussat: Location is quite good. Staff is friendly.

Miinukset: The hostel is very noisy at night. Weird layout, you have to cross the common room to get to the toilets. Breakfast started an hour late.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good price, good location.

Miinukset: Strange smell in the room 211 all the time.

Plussat: All you can eat breakfast and dinner is included in the price.

Miinukset: No chocolate with breakfast.

Plussat: The location is amazing the staff is friendly and accommodating the place is big with lots of space

Miinukset: The bathrooms definitely need some hooks and maybe a little tiny shelf inside the shower also the rooms smell like a mix between bleach and feet definitely could be alot better with how or what they clean with I don’t think that I have no complaints about the place I love it

Plussat: Breakfast and towel included. Great location nice hostel.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Hard to control temperature of shower water, seems broken

Plussat: Hot showers. Beds felt comfortable. Rooms had fans.

Miinukset: Breakfast was... horrible. Sliced white baguette, no butter, bizarre options to put on it (which would you prefer, sticky sickly sweet brown goop, or cubes of actual Jello?). Generic cheap cornflakes. There might be a slice of baguette with a smear of cheese brought out occasionally by staff, or some cooked vegetables and bad mole. Watery coffee. Why would they provide this mess? I booked to stay in a female-only dorm, after one night it turned into a mixed dorm. Also a large group arrived one night and made a huge amount of noise in the very early morning - slamming doors, banging around in the bathrooms, shouting loudly. I had earplugs in and they still woke me up. I'm disappointed staff didn't intervene.

Plussat: The hostel is the best one I've stayed at in Guatemala! The family which lives there and runs the place is the nicest and sweetest family I have met in Latin America. The hostel is located in Zona 1, just a few blocks from the main plaza and pedestrian walking street, a few blocks away from a big supermarket and right next to the San Sebastian Metrobus stop which is very handy for moving around the city. I walked around the hostel area at all hours and not once did I feel unsafe. Great value for money and I hope to stay here again soon!

Miinukset: Nada, everything was great!

Plussat: Nice rooftop, located close to Mercado Medellin, safe area...

Miinukset: very nice staff

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpfull.

Miinukset: The Room had no windows or ventilation and was very very small, no vacationfeeling what so ever. Because the room is ubicated next to the kitchen and rooftopterrace it was very noisy. The showers were not clean.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bathroom could improve

Plussat: Location is nice .. Although across the road / next to a bar which has loud music all through the night

Miinukset: Staff never gave me a receipt after asking them several times .. The guy was actually pretty rude about it for some reason ? It's kind of a normal thing to ask for a receipt not sure why it was such a big deal Room ridiculously hot, fan only hit one half of the room Worst thing .. The sheets were fkn stained and gross. Like disgusting white stains .. Super traumatised that I slept one night on them before realising as lighting is also really bad

Plussat: Nice location, safe, restaurants and bar nearby. Good bedrooms, kitchen , bathroom and strong wifi. the both colombian women that work there are nice and help you in everything as long as you talk to them .

Miinukset: The guy at the desk was very arrogant and unhelpful mostly of the time. you cant leave your backpacks at the desk after checkout. I had to move to another bed cuz the guy at the desk wanted me to instead asking me i was forced to move to another one so a big group of mexicans was getting the bed i already paid for kinda noisy outside during the nights, and the bathroom should have a door for the entrance .

Plussat: The location was the only thing I liked

Miinukset: It was super cold at night because the door couldn’t close, also it can’t be locked The bathroom was super small and I think there is just one for the whole hostel? To get to my room I had to go upstairs outside to a kind of terrace where the room was. Also i couldn’t charge my phone in the room because it was not working.

Plussat: The hotel is located in a very nice area. La Condesa is amazing. I have nothing good to say about the hotel, but the neighborhood is great. I highly recommend a different hostel in this area.

Miinukset: This place is a running scam. Do not stay here. I showed up and the staff pretended not to have my booking. They did the same for three other people who arrived. One guy had even paid the full amount and they "lost" his booking and tried to charge him again, even though he showed them the booking. After someone else showed up and agreed to pay their higher rate, they magically find my booking and charged me the original amount. The shower water is cold, the bathrooms smell awful, the rooms are right next to the bathroom, so they smell too. The kitchen is a joke. The hostel is tiny. I could continue. Again, this place is a scam. I speak Spanish, so I was able to argue with them. But no one in a customer service position speaks English and they just act like they don't know what happened. If you do end up staying they will try to charge you for everything - soap, water, towel. Whoever owns this place should be embarrassed.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything was horrible! If you want to book this hostel, you have to read my feedback first. If you book this hostel, you have to half of pay for each night(paypal or pay to oxxo), it has bothered me. Staff can’t speak english, manager was so rude to me. I paid to half of a night but when I check in, they are never checking my pay to Paypal. I booked 4 beds room, but they gave 6 beds room. I told about that, they said it’s full. What the heck.. Room was too small, bathroom was also terrible - super small, no toilet paper, it didn’t work water in the morning. When I check out I would like to keep my baggage there, but they said that is impossible. If you want to throw your money you should to book this hostel!

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Don't book this hostel of booking.com!, roomies do not check it I had paid for a room of booking.com and they booked my bed out to someone else and had no intrested in helping me out basically told me to go somewhere else and speak with booking.com
