Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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.

Everything a hostel should NOT be
It's a party hostel, nothing more, and the people going there are the shady sort. The place is filthy & desolate. COMFORT: The room itself seems fine in photos, but is poorly engineered. Your bed shakes violently every time someone steps within the 16-person room, which is quite often. You get woken up easily. LIGHT: The bed curtains are placed poorly, allowing a wide gap of bright light to enter as people enter the room between 10pm and 3am. Again, waking you up. NOISE: One night, the hostel hosted a party that started at 11:30pm, waking me up entirely. I have professional earplugs, and they were of no use. I also tried earphones & blasting music, but I could still hear them. Also, the hostel supposedly enforces silence from midnight onward, but all they do is say "shhhh" every now and then, but just allow conversation to continue. The sound echoes into your room, which has doors & windows open. HEAT: There is no AC nor fan in the room. Good luck in the Mexican heat. Instead, the door and windows are left open. You couldn't even close the doors if you wanted because you're never given a key, so you'd be locking everyone out. If you close your bed curtains to combat the noise/light issues, the heat issue just gets amplified.

The room was spacious and nice. There was a working television. There was an on-site cooler where you could buy drinks. I didn’t like the fact that a lot of people were hanging out in the common areas without masks during COVID. And there was a noise curfew but people were still kind of loud after that.

Clean and well-managed, excellent location. Firm beds, nice showers, good breakfast and games room, efficient baggage storage and friendly staff. The only complaint is that there are no lights above each bed. Would repeat for sure.

Legitimate health and safety problems
Tons of danger: sharp corners, low doorways and unsafe food. Food waste, dirty dishes and used napkins are next to the food. People put the lid for the fruit on top of the bin for dirty bin and food waste. Saliva, snot and diseases contaminate the lid, and the lid contaminates the fruit. Recently, a person dripped a thick trail of blood from the top floor to the bottom floor, but the blood wasn't cleaned for 5 days. This is horrible. A man had a seizure and fell down the stairs. The de facto manger called an ambulance—but did nothing else. For 30 minutes, the man had 12 seizures and heart arrhythmia—life-threatening. Over 10 guests begged the manager over 30 times to get the ambulance to hurry. The annoyed manager sometimes called but he never said this was life-threatening. A competent person at a responsible business would have brought the first aid kit and portable defibrilator if available. He should have talked about local hospitals: guests don't have this knowledge. But his indifference to other people's suffering increased the risks. The guests hired Uber but had to go to 4 hospitals to be admitted because foreigners don't know the Mexican healthcare system—and the manager was too annoyed to help. The man is in the hospital but we don't know if he will recover, have brain damage or die. This hostel ignores health and safety by contaminating food with influenza or herpes, not eliminating bloodborne diseases and allowing tons of physical dangers.

Clean, well located, good breakfast
Good hostel. I don't understand why the ratings aren't higher. Everything is cleaned multiple times a day. The lockers are large and fit 2 carry-ons easily. Bring your lockpad. The bunk beds are more like capsules and have curtains. That means a bit of privacy. They also have 2 electrical sockets but no light. WiFi everywhere. They keep your bags for free. Large communal areas with balconies, media rooms, ping pong, small gym, etc. Lots of toilets and showers. Right next to a major avenue, famous church, subway station and lots of places to eat. Walking distance to belas artes and zocalo (20 something minutes). Great breakfast with fruit (watermelon and papaya), good coffee, milk, toast, jam, corn flakes and oatmeal. Nothing ever ran out. The team was always making sure everything was running smoothly. The only "negatives" are that breakfast is really early and in some showers the floor is uneven and the water accumulated.
