J’y suis resté plus d’un mois pour la coupe du monde et j’ai adoré
Pros:

Des activités tout les jours
La salle de coworking en haut avec des canapés et super confortable et une grande télé.
Tout le personnel est vraiment super, des personnes qui travaille au bar jusqu’aux personnels de ménages.

Cons:

Pas de wifi dans plusieurs chambres.
Le fait qu’il n’y est pas d’espaces fumeur et qu’on soit obligé de sortir de l’établissement pour fumer

Good location and affordable, but disappointing overall
Pros:

The main positive aspects are the good location, near Zócalo square, and the fairly cheap room price.

Cons:

Very disappointing stay. The night receptionist was rude and unpleasant. Cleanliness was terrible, especially the bedsheets and bathrooms, which were often very dirty. There were frequent problems with the water, including no water or no hot water. I also booked a room without air conditioning but was placed in one with the AC set extremely cold, and I couldn’t change it, so the room was freezing at night. Overall, a very poor experience and definitely not recommended.

Bad stay
Pros:

Locatie dicht bij het historische centrum. Personeel is vriendelijk.

Cons:

Kamers zijn niet echt schoon, vieze vlekken op de muren van je bed. Gordijntjes zijn ook vies. Muziek tot laat heel hard. Geen warm water uit de douches. Zeep bij de badkamer was al dagen leeg en werd niet bijgevuld. Laatste dag zelfs helemaal nergens geen water, waardoor alle wc’s ontzettend stonken omdat ze vol met uitwerpselen zaten. Airco wordt niet uit hunzelf aangezet dus je moet elke avond vragen of ze hem willen aanzetten. Dit was mijn 4e Viajero hostel, alle andere waren echt top, maar deze viel erg tegen…

Nunca tenen agua en los baños
Pros:

solo la ubicación cerca de comércio y zocalo, fuera de eso meh 😑

Cons:

No tienen agua en los baños y estaba muy, pero muuy sucio siempre. Hubo problemas con desayuno aún cuando ya estaba pagado y te cobran muy caro la renta de toallas como para que ni siquiera te puedas bañar.

Nice hostel for your first time in Mexico city. Easy to meet people and socialize. But too central..
Pros:

This is a great hostel right in the center, equipped with everything you need. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, frequently organizing fun activities that make it easy for guests to connect and enjoy their stay together. Had a lot of fun at the salsa class on Thursday and going out with some of the guests I met here!

Cons:

While it might be fun for a couple of nights, the location is actually the biggest drawback. It's too central, and aside from the tourist spots you see quickly, there isn't much to do in the area during the day or evening.
If I come back to Mexico City, I’ll definitely stay in a different neighborhood (Condesa, Rome)
