Mala Vecindad Beer Hotel, Cuauhtemoc

Wouldn’t recommend it

Liked: The shower was good that’s probably the only good thing about this place.
Disliked: Everything…I’ve done a lot of hostels this year and this is the worst. First, you need to know that it is in a prostitute area, then the staff was really not friendly, the communication was terrible before arriving at the hostel, the mattress are really hard, the room wasn’t clean properly, smelt humidity, the window from the toilets were showing a staff room where people could come and go. There were no recommandations for stuff to do, they didn’t want to keep our bag for one day which could be understood but on top of everything else it was really frustrating and I just wanted to get out of there. Finally, our room was on a ground floor and it was really noisy…even the staff was speaking way too loud which resulted in waking us up way too many times. Just go somewhere else.

Bad

Liked: The 2 Ladies at the reception in the second hotel
Disliked: Everything else...so first we stayed at mala vecindad beer hotel. The neighbourhood is supersketchy, with a lot of homeless, drunk people and prostitutes. The girl at the reception was with an annoyed attitude. We had no electricity and water. Only after i complained about 3 times they said, they can bring us to the other mala vecindad hotel in centro viejo. There it was still a sketchy neighbourhood, but the room was nice and finnally we had water and electricity. BUT: i went out at night and when i came back at 4:30am i had to ring the bell and bang on the door for 20 minutes untill the guy came and opened the door for me. There were very strange people on the street at this time and a group of guys coming closer and closer, i was very afraid and thought, they will rob me. It cant be that a woman has to wait 20minutes on a dark street untill someone let her in the hotel. I wouldnt recommend either of this hotels, there are other options in mexico city
