The best best best hostel I have ever stay! Brilliant location in historic centre, easy to get around. Really cool decorated building. Dorms are so spacious and high ceiling makes the space so relaxing. Sparkling clean. Amazing group of people running the place, kind and helpful. They are organising walking tours, they are also provide free dinners or margarita nights to encourage socialising! Really Highly recommended!

Set in Mexico City and with Chapultepec Castle reachable within 1.8 km, Casa Pancha offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 2.9 km from The Angel of Independence, 2 km from Chapultepec Forest and 3.5 km from National Museum of Anthropology. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

The rooms are equipped with a private bathroom and a shower, and some units at the hostel have a safety deposit box.

Probably it’ll be the best hostel I’m staying. Located in rather safe area, lightproof curtains, squeaky clean everywhere and plentiful activities running meanwhile not too scary for introverts like me. Also you only share bathroom with roommates, a great plus.

Located 3.1 km from National Cinematheque, Cozy Private Room offers a shared lounge, a garden and accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

Frida Kahlo House Museum is 3.4 km from Cozy Private Room, while The Angel of Independence is 6 km away. The nearest airport is Benito Juarez International Airport, 13 km from the accommodation.

The house is in a nice, safe and quiet neighborhood. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and tidy. Alexander, the young man in charge of the place is a helpful and cooperative lad. You can reach him through Whatsapp if you need extra information. The location is excellent, three blocks away from the Metro stations “Eugenia” and “División Norte”. There are several shops nearby where you can buy an OXXO sim card to be used while you are in Mexico, if you are a foreigner. In about 5 minutes you can walk to the closest Sanborns for breakfast or other meal: a good restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere and service. It even has an INBURSA Bank ATM inside. However, there are lots of different places to eat and drink in the area, including the local market called “24 de Agosto”, within walking distance via Anaxágoras street. The supermarket SORIANA is also nearby. "Esperanza", an excellent bakery on Avenida Cuautehmoc offers a variety of breads and "tostadas", the crispy corn tortillas. And for the ladies who like to look well all the time, there are plenty of hairdressers in the area. I would definitely stay there again, when I go back to CDMX.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I stayed in the 8(?) person dorm room. Excellent beds!! They’re in boxes with plenty of space inside for big backpacks too. Cute design too. Each bed has a lockable sliding door and a safe inside, sockets including usb, even internal shelving and a space to hang some shirts! There are also different light settings inside your box. It was a very nice little nook to get some R&R. The bathrooms were awesome too - best hostel bathrooms I think I’ve seen. Everything clean, hot water, good pressure, hair dryers too.

    The rooftop of the hostel is a charm! You can have a great view of the Mexico City and also do workout there. Also they provide a place for you to handwash and hang your clothes, which is a huge bonus point for long term budget travellers! There is locker in the room. Everything is very safe.
