It's a good place to stay. You have to pay for the towels and internet. Rooms have their own bathroom and are clean. The service is ok but don't ask to much. For everything they have a form. The rooms near the streets are maybe a little noisy.

Just a few blocks from the central plaza the location of this hostel in good. It's housed in an orignial colonial building with all rooms upstairs surrounding a central courtyard.

The dorm was not the best I've seen for a number of reasons. It felt a bit too crowded at times with 20 beds in total (if I counted right). Worse was that those 20 beds shared just 2 toilets (no locks on the doors) and 3 showers in a bathroom that was within the dorm. The toilets were not kept particularly clean - the bins full of toilet paper overflowing. There was also a shortage of plug sockets (only 2 that I saw). There were wooden lockers (locks provided) big enough for a small backpack.

Breakfast was included in the price (150 pesos) but (as is normally the case in hostels) was not great - sugary cereal/juice, coffee, white bread and jam. There was wi fi but those without laptops had to pay to use the hostel's computers.

The staff were friendly and helpful with local information. As well as the cafe downstairs where breakfast was served there was a seating area upstairs with sofas and tv plus a water despenser.

Whilst the dorm wasn't that nice I would recommend this hostel for the social atmosphere and central location.

1 night at the Hostel

+ Nice service, speaks English
+ great location, 3 blocks from Zocalo
+ great place to meet other backpackers
+ good to party (many clubs with live bands)

- dorm has 20 beds instead of 8
- bathroom is inside the sleeping dorm
- beds squeak terribly

Stayed here for two nights in a private room. Room was very large with high ceilings and one double and one single bed. Bathroom was good size aswell with plenty of hot water. You need to have your own towel, or rent one from the hostel for 40p (35p returned on checkout). Breakfast included in price with toast, cereal, coffee, etc which was pretty good. The bed itself was very hard even for Mexico standards, so had trouble sleeping. Staff were excellent and very helpful, spoke good english. Not the funnest hostal out there, as you are forced to sign a declaration on checkin saying you wont have alcohol in the rooms or on the premises, wont make any noice after 11pm, etc. During our stay there was no one staying in the dorms, only the private rooms. Good budget choice.
