If it hadn't been for the Cervantino festival and everything being booked up, I wouldn't have stayed here. They still haven't got the hang of emptying bins or cleaning the bathrooms. The terrace would be nice if they gave it a good scrub, they also won't allow you up there after 10 p.m. There is a sushi restaurant downstairs and all the washing up from that comes to the hostel kitchen. The people that start work there in the morning will also put the TV on very loud and very early, which can be clearly heard from all the dorms -- nil points!

Eh.
Staff was very friendly and the pink rooftop terrace was quite nice. The location was very convenient -- one-minute walk from the main "Jardin," though the road noise got a little tiresome at night. I don't give this place a very good rating because it was pretty darn dirty. I don't think the bathroom was cleaned once while I was there, and the linens were dirty when I arrived. There were indeed security lockers, but random people could come and go just a little too easily for my liking. So I'd stay in a different hostel next time -- and I mean next time because this city is wild!

Nice dorm rooms, festive rooftop terrace, and excellent location in Guanajuato. Unfortunately, the bathrooms were not cleaned the six days I was there, which prompted me to find another hostel for my last days.

Casa del Tio Hostel Reviews from the Web
Liked: The location of this hostel is great, as it's close to a lot of interesting sights in the historic centre. The hot water in the shower was much appreciated. There is also a really good Asian restaurant in the entrance, for those who want to avoid tacos for once. They even have tofu on the menu... Didn't like: I was alone in my dorm for the most part of my stay, so it was a bit too quiet for me. Also, there is a common area, but it's rather small. Finally, the door of my dorm was actually in the stairs, which could be dangerous at night.

Liked: I recommend this place to everyone going to stay in Guanajuato. The atmosphere of the place was really relax and friendly. The rooms were clean and the location of the hostel is right in the historical center and at two minutes walking of great bars and pubs. Didn't like: - Only one washroom for the girls- We cannot lock our room, so we need to put our valuable stuff in lockers that could easily be forced by someone who really would like to steal your stuff.

Liked: The location of the property is it's best feature. The roof top patio they have is also pretty stellar. The staff is friendly, the facilities are decent. I'd recommend it for small or large groups. I stayed there this time with nine others and as far as I know, there are no serious complaints. Didn't like: Because we were such a large group, and most of us are female, the one bathroom situation did get kind of old. I'd suggest more facilities for ladies.
