Very good
Liked: All good! It was a comfortable stay.
Disliked: Would recommend a dispenser for free water as well as a division in the top of bunk beds

Great place to stay Downtown...
Liked: The location is excellent if you want to be Downtown, the place itself is great, I felt safe, the staff was amazing always willing to help
Disliked: The noise of the aircondition at night is too loud and I was too tired to figure out how to turn it off

Highly satisfactory setting. ‘Nuff said.
Liked: I booked a reasonably priced bed in a quite basic four-bed room. The property is situated right in the city's historic core, practically around the corner from Zocalo Square. That proved to be an ideal base for going on day trips to visit and explore Tlatelolco, Xochimilco, Coyoacán (Frida Kahlo Museum), Guadalupe Shrine, Teotihuacan, and so on. I was alone in the room and among the very few guests staying there in mid-March. The whole place had an air of an abandoned ghost town about it, not that I minded. The neighbouring restaurant completely blew my mind with its lush green foliage covering every inch of the overhead space above the yard. The view from the terrace above the green canopy of the treetops was absolutely astounding, out of this world.
Disliked: Breakfast was quite modest and rudimentary, not to say stingy: two slices of bread and a banana (picture included).

Don't be fooled by the restaurant in front..
Liked: The location. The terrace.
Disliked: Staff was rather cold, uninterested, answered my questions from behind the curtain at the reception desk. I actually had to ask for breakfast (which was included) as it wasn't served. Judging by the rather expensive price per night, one would have expected more than an old piece of bread, a banana some thin coffee. On top of everything, there's no toilets in the actual room. You have to go out to a toilet section which gives the whole thing a rather prison-like ambience. One of my worst hostel experiences in Mexico. Find something else.

Great place to get some good sleep right in Centro
Liked: In my eyes, the couple bad reviews on here don't do the place justice. When I arrived at the main gate at night a kind security guard walked me all the way to the reception, where a very polite receptionist handled my checkin quickly and gave me all the instructions I needed to find my room. The room itself is rather simple, it only has beds and lockers, but everything worked and was clean. As the windows open to the courtyard, there was very little noise.The bathroom is well dimensioned for a hostel of this size (6 showers, 6 sinks, 6 WC) and the water pressure was perfect. Also, you get a big comfy towel at checkin.The breakfast that's included is a simple one, sure, but you can't expect a big buffet at this price, and the coffee was surprisingly good.So yes, all in all I'm very happy with my stay, felt safe and well taken care of all the time and did get some good sleep. However, if you're looking for a party/community hostel, this is not the right one for you.

Superb
Liked: Great location, great price. I WILL RETURN.
Disliked: I wish there was a little more signage on arrival. It's way in the back on the first floor. First I went upstairs, with all of my luggage, upps. All in all loved the funky decor, but I felt like the bathroom floors should have been tiled, for cleanliness.
