About this property

Welcome to Mexico Hostel

Located in the heart of Mexico City's cultural quarter, Mexico Hostel offers simple, budget-friendly accommodation suited for travelers focused on exploring nearby landmarks. Positioned close to Alameda Central park and Palacio de Bellas Artes, guests have easy access to iconic attractions featuring murals by Diego Rivera and frequent cultural events at Constitution Plaza. The hostel is well connected, with Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez just a 26-minute drive away.

This hostel provides basic amenities including free Wi-Fi and kid-friendly facilities, though it lacks parking, a swimming pool, and fitness center. The rooms are compact and mainly shared, reflecting its hostel nature rather than a typical hotel environment. Guests seeking a quiet place to rest after a day of sightseeing will find it adequately comfortable, although some have noted that beds and room furnishings could benefit from improvements, especially for taller individuals.

Guest reviews reveal a generally positive experience with friendly, attentive staff and a clean atmosphere. The rooftop area offers a social spot, though the space for interaction is limited compared to other hostels. Wi-Fi reliability is occasionally mentioned as inconsistent, but this has not been a major concern for those mainly using the hostel for overnight stays. The proximity to multiple dining options and public transport makes it a convenient choice for first-time visitors to CDMX with modest accommodation expectations.

While Mexico Hostel may not suit travelers valuing spacious private rooms or extensive hotel facilities, it is well positioned for cultural tourists and budget-conscious guests who prioritize location over luxury. Its location near numerous museums and plazas offers a practical base for exploring the historical and artistic highlights of Mexico City’s centre.

Es mi lugar favorito por sieeeempre a la hora de hospedarme en la CDMX, la atencion de la recepción siempre ha sido amable conmigo, las habitaciones son chicas pero cómodas ya que si es para dormir después de andar turisteando se verdad el internet falla honestamente pero si tú propósito es llegar a descansar después de pasear ni lo notas, además tener datos en el móvil nunca está demás. Sinceramente es un lugar que recomendaría sin problema alguno, es un hostal no un hotel por lo que son espacios compartidos pero es agradable, los baños en lo personal nunca los he encontrado sucios, por la mañana siempre encontrarás a alguien dándoles limpieza. Además estar súper cerca de bellas artes. Nada más que decir, siempre son mi primera opción a la hora de pisar la CDMX, GRACIAS.

Hostal mixto aunque tiene apartados exclusivos para mujeres y hombres Me encanto la ubicación, esta muy céntrica puedes llegar caminando al metro, agarrar autobus o esperar de manera segura un uber hay tiendas cerca, y hasta un gym al lado La salud habitaciones no son muy cómodas, pero el precio lo vale por la ubicación, Aunque si Yo fuera el dueño sí mejoraría un poco los dormitorios, si son muy incomodos, específicamente la cama, para una persona Alta seria imposible dormir comodo ahi, además se escucha demasiado ruido debido al suelo , ya que es de madera y los pasos se escuchan en tu oído a mi me costo algo de trabajo dormir corrido Las regaderas están separadas por hombre y mujer cuentan con agua caliente y jabon Referente a las áreas en común solo están abiertas en la noche y ponen música alta se escucha hasta las habitaciones, hay una terraza en el tercer piso ideal para una buena charla o noviear lo único que no me gusta es que solo te sientas y ya quieren que consumas El personal de seguridad y recepción son muy amables, aunque se batalla para localizarlos en ocasiones. Es buen lugar , pero si eres sensible al ruido y quieres que te atiendan al segundo mejor búscate otra opcion, Sino eres delicado y buscas solo un lugar pars dormir esta es una excelente opcion

Well decorated, and planned, the wifi sucked but they were very well intenioned. I went to the restaurant by the windows and it made all the difference. The waitress gave me this little Oragami cat ring, very cute(Lindo) with my check(my hands are dry). Spectacular!, m hm, very proper and well regulated restaurant. The wait staff was attentive and precise.

La mejor experiencia que he tenido, hasta el momento, en mis viajes a CDMX; hice amistad con un extranjero bastante extrovertido; la atención de gerencia fue muy buena, todo muy chido a mi criterio, definitivamente vuelvo a hospedarme ahí!

Está en muy buena ubicación, cerca de muchos lugares turísticos, aunque algo confuso de encontrar el hostal. Sin embargo, me hicieron esperar más de una hora porque no había nadie en su recepción. Las camas (literas), tienen espacios muy reducidos para una persona alta como yo (1.85 cm), por lo que jamás iba a poder entrar en una de sus camas. Realmente sólo es para pasar la noche en situaciones de emergencia y con muy poco presupuesto.

I really enjoy staying in this hostel. I stayed there 5 days. The staff was very friendly and professional. It was clean. There was a rooftop where we can smoke. In the same building there are different places to eat. The location is very central. You are close really ti many important sites to visit. I didn’t feel unsafety. The only things I would add, that didn’t bother me, but they could bother someone else, is that there aren’t air condition in the rooms. The other thing is about conviviality. I don’t know if it is the fact that it is a very big city, but it’s not the type of hostels you will make friends. There are some common spaces but they are not made to stay a long time. I went with a friend so it was ok but I Thought that if I wanted to meet people there, it would be different.
