I'm at a loss for words when it comes to describing the girls who work at the front desk. I've seen them work a double shift and still manage to stay composed even under stressfull situation. They make you feel welcome and well attended.
Great place to stay for a few days, the staff is very attentive and surroundings all though it's not the prettiest i promise it is quite safe at least in my opinion. The best part is it is located near a public transit station!
No hot water. They turn off the water during the day, leading to toilets not being able to be flushed during the day. Only 1 faucet worked in the restroom and the showers barely worked.
The kitchen area was filthy. One of my worst hostel experiences. I went without showering for 2 days because the water wasn’t working. I left early because I couldn’t take it anymore. Save your money because this place is trash.
The beds are good with full privacy curtains. They don’t include a private lamp however. The electrical outlet in my bunk was loose, so cords fell out too easily. Staff were very friendly. The kitchen and bar area need better signage. The neighbourhood is a bit seedy but I didn’t feel unsafe walking around and it’s not that far from downtown.
They try to scam tourist as I stayed an extra night which I booked via online and I was told when I was about to leave there is a fee for extending my stay. That is ridiculous so they can make extra cash. This should be written up front.
I know it's a hostel so my expectations were accordingly. The route from the subway to the property felt unsafe at night, I was not given a key to the shared room as the were no more keys available, and I had to rely on the staff when re-entering. The floor is made of wood, which is noisy when walking. I mean, if you only need a place to sleep and take a shower for a small price, it's okay, but IMO, the Casa MX hostel near Zocalo is way better.
The Hostel was good in general, close to bus and subway stations, it was not a party hostel so there was no noise, rooms where spacious and clean. What really needs improvement is the cleanness of the showers. I stayed there for 3 nights and the floors inside the shower were discusting, old soap, toilet paper and this big chunks/balls of hair on the floor. Took three showers in seperate stalls and everytime the floor was not good.
The kitchen was usually filthy with Roaches. The staff would sometimes answere you and other times they would ignore you. They wanted to milk you as much as possible and when you don't spend money there they want you to stay elsewhere. Felt unsafe, unwelcomed. Overheard various racist and homophobic comments. Would never stay there again, unless they hired brand new staff.
The kitchen was extremely filthy with roaches. This was definitely not the place to try and get any kind of sleep as they would play weird techno music (not the cool kind of techno) starting very early in the morning, during the week and on weekends. Some of the employees were rude, and they would not talk to you when you would greet them in the morning or at night.
Since the place is low budget you do get many interesting characters that stay there, also on a budget so you feel like you have to watch your belongings from thieves.
I had a few low cost items stolen, they were inexpensive, but it wasn't the cost it was the act.
The only good thing I could find about this place, is that I met some interesting people from different places. And that it wasn't too far from the subway, and one of the main strips in the area. But I also met many people on budgets who were probably looking for help or some kind of come up.
I definitely would never stay here again. Horrible experience.

El personal de recepción puede mejorar. Al llegar me preguntaron si era mi primera vez hospedándome, les dije que si, pero aún así no me explicaron nada sobre el lugar, como las áreas comúnes, baños ni nada. Y lo mismo con el personal que estuvo en el turno de la noche.
