“A bit basic but great location, friendly staff and clean rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Friendly, helpful staff, most of whom spoke english. Rooms were basic but nice and clean with ensuite bathroom at a good price. The computers and internet connection were a little unreliable (didn't use the WIFI) but still usable and free. Breakfast included, and there is a kitchen you can cook your own food in.
Free luggage storage - although your bags will be stored on some shelves in the kitchen, not in lockers. We left our stuff there (nothing of too much value though) for a few days anyway and it was fine, but I expect something secure when I see 'luggage storage' advertised.
Great location - only a few blocks from the town centre, and back up the street a few blocks is a decent market where you can buy vegetables, meat, cheese etc.
Pretty quiet while we were there, not a party atmosphere if that's what you're after. But if you're like us - a couple travelling on limited funds who like to get a private room with their own bathroom now and then, it's not a bad option.

“Not a bad choice.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

Great location, with walkable distance to the Zocalo and other major spots.

The wifi is not functioning for Macbook, the receptionist couldn't help with this problem though.

Overall good experience.

“Decent price and location but nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

The hostel is an easy walk to the Zocalo and major points of interest, but I found the room to be a bit grungy, it was very noisy (I had a room on the main street, so lots of traffic noise all night, bring your ear-plugs!), the (free) internet was generally ridiculously slow (with occasional moments of acceptable speed) and the breakfast was miserable (coco-pops, 2 pieces of white bread toast with butter and jam, coffee and juice) - better to just go elsewhere for something more nutritious. For the price it's ok but certainly nothing special and I'd look for an alternate hostel if I went back to Puebla.

Room Tip: rooms towards the back are quieter

“Meets expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

This is the second time I have stayed at this hostel and on this trip I stayed in the dorm room. Everything was clean and organized. The lockers are made of cheap thin wood and do not provide peace of mind security, even with a lock. The bathrooms in the dorms are in-suite, which I hated because it provides little privacy for anyone. I recommend staying in a private room over the dorms.

“Good place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2010

person found this review helpful

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.
