The good, it's clean, the location is perfect. The bad, the sound proofing in this building is non existent and you can hear everything. The dogs that don't stop barking next door, the owner who watches TV super loud for hours, the staff that use speaker phones on full blast, the metal doors slamming, the party that was here until 2am with a kareoke set up, the people having sex in the room next me that sounded like they were in my room, they weren't even unusually loud...other than that, its over priced, the fridge is on a different floor from the "kitchen". Still, Xalapa is one of the coolest places in Mexico so I'd do it again😂

Our stay at this hostel was good, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. We stayed in a 1 bunk bedroom and the area was clean (including the bathroom). The staff even took care of our luggage for a couple of hours while we came back from a trip. Our only complaints are that the shower barely had any pressure, one of the lockers didn't close, and that the window was open when we arrived, so the room had mosquitoes inside. Overall, if you are familiar with hostels, this is a good/ accessible place to stay.

I Would Stay Here Again

I stayed here because I'm traveling by bus & this was approximately 1/2 way between the ADO bus station & Centro. I don't mind short walks. Ring the bell & wait to gain access when you arrive. The front gate is always locked. My stay didn't involve a lot of interaction with the staff, but when I needed anything, they were very friendly & accommodating. It's a hostel, but I stayed in a single/double bed room with my own bathroom. They ask you to put the Toilet paper into a waste basket which they empty on request. They don't make the beds for you like they do in a hotel. The sink in the bathroom only has cold water & it would be nice to have hot water There are several hotels in town that charge 150-250 pesos/night for a single room. I didn't change because the WIFI & hot water were good. The bed was a bit small for me and a bit lumpy. There is no heat in the rooms, so it will be chilly on colder days. They do provide blankets, so it's not a problem when sleeping. The lighting in the room could be improved. It consists of a single ceiling low wattage light in the center of the room. There is a mini market next door & an OXXO 50 meters away across the street. They have a kitchen with a coffee maker & microwave oven that I used. They offered free coffee in the morning If I was with a wife, I would probably stay someplace more comfortable, but this I would stay here again if I was alone or with friends. 3 people sharing a room pay the same I paid for a single

Cute hostel

The hostel was lovely. I got a room to myself because of the 50% occupancy but also there was no other guests. Beds are comfy with good sheets and thick blankets. My only problem was the shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold but that could be just the room i was in. I stayed here while visiting my boyfriend as its his hometown and would return again!

La habitación estaba descuidada, cuando nos recibieron nos dieron las indicaciones y dentro de ellas estaba que no se podía hacer ruido y resulta que ellos muy conchas tomando su café haciendo ruido por la mañana y por la noche hacia frío y solo nos proporcionaron una frasada, yo iba a festejar su cumpleaños de mi pareja y no pude ni cantaroe las mañanitas porque no se podía hacer ruido

Es un hotel muy bien ubicado en la zona centro de Xalapa. El personal de recepción te explica todo lo que necesitas saber y se contactan contigo durante todo tu viaje. Disfruté mucho el café de cortesía en las mañanas. Seguramente lo consideraré en mis futuros viajes.

Esta bien ubicado y la limpieza es buena, solo que en recepción todo lo tienes que preguntar no hay un servicio completo de información y orientación. Las cortinas de la habitación eran muy cortas y no cubrían la ventana, no hay privacidad. No dan toallas y la clave del wifi la tienes que pedir. Hay demasiado ruido en los pasillos. No cuentan con amenidades como TV, ni ventilador. Los pasillos como salida de emergencia muy pequeños y escaleras pequeñas, por lo que hay peligro. Muy incómodo para subir maletas grandes.
