That is typical hostel noise and nothing to worry about! The problem here is the music that the door clerk blasts all night long at night club volume, while singing along nearly as loud...The rooms are clean, lockers are pretty secure, and the roof terrace is a nice perk as is the free breakfast. One thing to note- to take a shower everyone in your room will see you naked. Might be a big deal to some. A little pricey for a hostel at $25 usd a night, but the area is very nice and super convenient and there is nary a sign of the dreaded bed bug.

Walking to this hostel from across the Zocola and checking in was a huge relief for us. It truly is…read morelocated RIGHT BEHIND the Cathedral. We had just arrived in Mexico City and were a little culture shocked by the immensity of the city, and as ignorant Americans who speak little to no Spanish, it was nice to check in to a friendly, clean hostel with English speakers to get grounded before exploring the city. If staying in the D.F. this hostel is very centrally located. We did take the metro throughout the day and this place is located close to two metro stops. There is always a bilingual (English and Spanish speaking, I think) staff member at the front desk at all hours to answer any questions. Several times we asked for directions or about taking a bus or metro and were given great advice. The hostel is super clean and friendly. Our shared room was small, but brightly painted and clean. We did have a locker in the room and we travel with our own lock, so we felt safe locking our valuables up when out of the room. If you don't travel with your own lock, locks can be purchased at the front desk. At 2:00 PM, which is check in time, there was a long line of backpackers and travelers trying to get a room and a lot of them were turned down due to no vacancy, so definitely make your reservations online before coming, especially if you're planning to stay on a weekend. We made ours on Hostel World and had no issues with the reservations. There is a bar upstairs and free WiFi throughout the entire hostel, as well as a restaurant downstairs. The restaurant downstairs does serve really good food, and while it is more pricey than other places, it's convenient to grab a snack or drink. The free breakfast provided upstairs was fresh and hearty with lots of fruit. There is free coffee provided, but it's the instant kind. Another huge plus to this hostel was the free filtered water which is available on every floor in a drinking fountain. We refilled all of our water bottles and didn't have to buy any water while in Mexico City. The water fountains on the bottommost floors have the coldest water. There were some loud, obnoxious juveniles in the hostel, so if you want to get a good night's sleep definitely bring ear plugs, as a lot of the rooms open up to the restaurant and lobby downstairs and voices travel far in this hostel. The showers and bathrooms were clean and we were even provided with towels and soap, which is a plus for hostels. The same people who run this hostel also have others throughout Mexico, so it looks like a nice, trusty chain of hostels to me.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and functional, and the murals are impressive. My three girlfriends and I shared the large, "yellow" room with private bath for 2 nights. It overlooked the courtyard out back and the beds were fairly comfortable. The bathroom was surprisingly elegant with large mirrors and a deep bathtub. We stayed our last night in the "pink" room with a shared bath, which had two queen-size beds and a bunk bed. While it wasn't as nice as the yellow room (obnoxious lighting), it was a bit quieter at night... A group of rowdy boys partied into the early morning in the courtyard for two of our 3 nights, which could be heard clearly through the thin windows in the yellow room. The noise was nothing a white noise phone app couldn't fix. Breakfast was fabulous each morning, with fresh coffee and full meals, fruit and all. It's served every morning from 9-10, and fills you up. They happily cater to vegetarians. The family who runs the place is really great, and there was usually someone who spoke English in the office/front room at all times, 24/7. They are family friendly (offering PacNPlays), and have a dog named Soy who hangs out. They offer travel advice, will reserve taxis, loan out travel books, hand out maps, etc. I can't wait to return and bring my family next time. The only thing that wasn't too comfortable was the noise at night... But this city likes to have fun, and it is a hostel after all. I love you Dos Fridas!!!
