Reviews and Ratings
The hostel offers really nice and well-equipped rooms in a modern setting, with nice common areas, good Wi-Fi, and a convenient location near the city center. However, the quirky 'STD Room' naming and some noise around the floor can be off-putting at times.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was incredible, with beautiful creative paintings decorating the hallways, but there wasn't much in terms of nearby restaurants and it didn't feel very safe to walk around at night. The dorms were located in the historic center, adding to the charm of the area. However, the constant loud music in the downstairs area made it hard to have a conversation or inquire about tours.
The hotel offers spotlessly clean rooms with great amenities in a convenient location, albeit a bit far from the main street. However, some noise disturbances could affect your stay. The service might not meet expectations with disoriented staff members. The dining area is average, and the facilities are adequate but nothing exceptional.
The hotel is located in the historical center, near main attractions in CDMX, with nicely decorated spaces, but it lacks modern amenities and suffers from noise issues due to nightly rooftop parties with loud music.
I found the hotel to have its ups and downs. The rooms were not ideal, with no windows and a lingering smell, plus the noise from the street was bothersome. However, the central location was a plus for visiting downtown attractions. The dining options were decent but a bit expensive. Service was a mix of friendly staff but some confusion with reservations. Overall, it's a so-so choice for accommodation.
