Charming colonial building with a nice common outdoor space and fully equipped shared kitchen. Rooms are large and comfortable, surrounding area has lots of restaurants. Close to historic centre. Don’t book the hotel for the complimentary breakfast- sometimes fruit, sometimes not, always cereal, bread & coffee. Sound travels quite well in the building! Overall good value for a budget friendly option.

Awful hotel. It had mold in the suite. No toilet tissue, no towels. Restroom was dirty and stinky.
Will not stay here.

Great place to stay if you like people!
This is a great place to stay if you want to feel like you are in a community. The common areas are conducive to meeting fellow travelers and having access to a kitchen is a great way to save money on food. Our room (at the top of the stairway) was more than large enough -- it wasn't fancy, but it was comfortable and had a private bathroom. The location is great - 15-20 minute walk to Centro HIstorico. Staff are very warm, friendly and helpful. You can't beat the price. Thanks for making our stay special.

Very quiet and well equipped, especially if the traveler is staying awhile. The only thing that I found as a negative is that the plumbing in my room was a bit drippy. They need a good plumber in room 3 to fix the toilet. Otherwise this is a very clean, very functional place to stay at a very reasonable price.

Centric hostel near tourist area
We enjoyed the stay at the hostel overall. The breakfast was included only cereal coffee toast and fruit. Our only complaint is that our shower did not work properly. Extremely hot water would pour and then it would switch to extremely cold without notice. It was a fun little experience but not after the third day. The staff told us they would fix it but probably it was not an easy task so we didn't ask again. Overall this is a super cute place if u just need to come back to rest. I still recommend it! They also have tours available Tequila tours are a MUST! Don’t be ripped off and check ask for every detail!

Great Stay
I got in late, around midnight, and there was someone there to check me in. Everything went smooth. The people were very nice but the best part of this hotel was how beautiful it is. I mean I was blown away. When I come back to GDL I will be staying here again.

Home Away From Home
We really loved it. There was traditional Mexican decor - beautiful vibrant colors on the walls, tapestries, and art. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. It felt like a home away from home. The rooms were spacious and slept all three of us easily. The area is a little worrisome for night wandering but in the day it is perfect - centrally located near church and galleries, food trucks and markets. We will be back!

Not really a hostel..
We stayed here in a private room, and it is much more of a hotel than a hostel. Just with common areas to boot. It is in a quiet street, but more than walkable to restaurants and bars.
The common areas are FANTASTIC! A fully equipped chef kitchen, sitting area, a rooftop garden.
The staff are friendly and will do anything they can to accommodate you during your stay.
Highly recommend.
