State of México Hostels

The great thing about Mexico City is that you can get your own hotel room for about 200 pesos (about $20 USD), which is only a little more than the hostels, if you want more privacy. Though I believe most of them are in the Centro Histórico, which tends to die down at night (though that's great if you want to sleep in peace and quiet), as opposed to a place like the Zona Rosa (where I would have preferred to stay, since it's close to the gay clubs) where the hotels are more expensive. Of course, meeting people is much easier in the hostels. If you get tired of all the craziness of the city, and your feet are tired of walking through all the street markets (which are fun) and museums and stuff, I can also recommend taking half a day at Xochimilco, south of the city (or is it north? -- I just know it's outside the city) and renting one of those crazily painted boats. Don't forget a bottle of Tequila, some limes and salt, so that you can take shots while floating lazily down the…

Mexico City Hostel in Mexico City … This is the only hostel I have stayed at anywhere. It was clean and the staff was friendly available and helpful. The location is excellent (in the heart of mexico city) but can be noisy even at night as it is very near the Zocalo. Overall it was a great first time hostel experience.

Hostal Mansión Havre Hostel in Mexico City … I had a great time at the hostel. It has a good location. Zona Rosa is like the tourist area in the city. The personnel were professional and friendly. They helped me and I had a wake-up call everyday on time all the time.

Hostel Moneda in Mexico City … One of the best hostels I stayed in throughout Central America! Not much that can beat free breakfast, free dinner and two free tours for only $10 a night. Location is excellent in the middle of Mexico City with cheap street food at the Zocaló and close to subway and other transportation. Lots of other travelers as well so good opportunities of meeting travel companions.

Hostel Versalles 104 in Mexico City … very friendly host couple. helpful and easy going. never seen such a nice and comfortable hostel. the place to be in mexico city!

Bed & Breakfast Mexico in Mexico City … This is a really friendly hostel. The people running it are kind and and generous, even helping us to book tickets for a bus journey. Meeting people to hook up with is easy as they provided breakfast on the roof and have a TV room where people weary of walking can hang out in the evening. As it is a small hostel is has a quiet atmosphere. It is conveniently located about five-minutes walk (and I walk slowly) from the Insurgents metro stop which will take you into the centre of the city. We had one of the two double rooms, they are sparsely decorated, but clean and the bed was comfy. I'd really recommend staying here.

Hostel Maguey in Mexico City … Cool hostel, the best one in mexico.

Hostal Mansión Havre Hostel in Mexico City … This is an excellent hostel. I had lots of fun and it's close to everything — the museums, Zona Rosa. The staff is just amazing. They treated me like a son. I recommend this place 100 percent. HAVE FUN, don't miss it.

El Cenote Azul in Mexico City … If you're planning a stay in Mexico City consider this place. It's about twenty minutes by train out of the city centre but it is worth it. Mexico City can be a little crazy when you first arrive and it is nice to stay in an interesting neighborhood, I arrived late at night a little worse for wear and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The decor is eclectic, the food is great and it is a cafe during the afternoon and some evenings. It is close to the university and is a gathering place for many students and young people to eat, meet and listen to great music. The rooms are very comfortable too. Absolutely loved this place and the people who worked there -- I even came back after a short trip down south.

Coyote Flaco Backpackers in Mexico City … Best hostel ever! Clean, Friendly Staff, and Secure. Highly Recommended.

Hostel Maguey in Mexico City … If you come to Mexico you must stay here. Why? Because if you do not, you are losing a chance to share part of everyone's culture, and having nice chats with interesting people. This place has the best staff ever.

Youth Hostel Virreyes in Mexico City … This is a great place. I've been there since last June and I'm still liv'n there. I love it. You can meet people from all around the world and the prices are cool. Just like an old place, it has some troubles with the hot water (you'll have to wake up very early if you want to take a hot bath, or you 'll have to wait till 11 or 12 at morning to clean yourself). There are no pizza, pasta, or hamburger's nights by 5dlls, even better, there are gourmet pasta nights every day at the kitchen, next to the great tv room, and you can fill your stomach with it by just 3.5dlls (no beer included). You'll love this place. Come soon!!!
