A Hostel that is more like a home. I loved this place, private room and bath with a common kitchen, patio, roof top grill! Very nice people run this hostel in the heart of Guadalajara. Will be back!

Guadalajara Business

This is my fifth time at this hostel, its clean, quiet, and really well located in the heart of the City. I truly enjoy staying here, its basic, but I feel very comfortable and safe while staying here. The rooftop terrace is perfect for afternoon beer. I will definitely be back.

8/10 Very good

Nice place. Rooms and bathroom are small. But it’s ok for what you pay. Nice and quiet neighborhood

Third Visit

This was my third visit to this Hostel. It is safe, clean and very comfortable. If you are looking for a basic room with a private bath this is perfect. They have a communal kitchen and public areas. Everyone is very nice. I highly recommend this location.

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately I fell off the steps coming down the restroom. I don’t think those stairs are safe. Especially how slippery it was. Never again am I staying here unfortunately. Not to mention the light, my husband kept running into because it’s hanging very low In the middle of the room. Those stairs going on don’t feel safe at all 🙁

Back in Guadalajara

The reality is that this has become my home away from home, its quiet, comfortable, the owners are super nice and make you feel at home. If you want to keep to yourself the place is big enough that you can, or you can make friends with the other guests staying there. The communal kitchen is fantastic and you keep your stuff there and not worry about anything. There is a little shop at the corner where you can get drinks, snacks and the neighborhood is really quiet and safe. Simply love staying here and highly recommend it.

2/10 Poor

Noisy it seemed you were at a bar all night , dirty, breakfast was not ready by 8:30am like they said.

6/10 Good

The staff is great, except the night-shift receptionist. It is always clean but sometimes hot water does nothing work
Joaquin Alan, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

It's ok. In a really good area sites wise, easy to get around and look at everything. The woman running the hostel is awesome, and there's a map of the best dites to help you make sure you see everything. However, the place itself is pretty simple and there's no privacy. It's clean, but uncomfortable, and I couldn't shower. Small breakfast, no eggs. Really go only if your looking for somewhere to crash imo.

4th Time!

This was my fourth visit to this hostel, that should say it all. I was able to get my favorite room and really enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. Remember this is a hostel, but frankly I feel that you get a lot more for your money. Having a share kitchen is so cool and the patio and balconies are great. Miriam, I believe she is the owner, is super nice and helpful with any questions you may have. The neighborhood is residential but very quiet and safe. I will be back.

8/10 Very good

No window room hehe

Did see the room without a window and it's on the south wall so it's very warm from the sun with just a fan

4/10 Fair

Buget Friendly Disappointment.

Good points. Budget price for last minute stay. Welcoming and helpful reception staff . Clean place,filter coffee at breakfast good. Room 210, shower power very poor. Water only warmed once out of 4 attempts. Small room no heat , just one thin blanket. Neighbourhood not pleasant for holiday travellers and 40 minutes walk to Cathedral. No close good eateries. On depature charged 125pesos as having scratched my head, pillow case had 2 spots of blood .

Hotel con lo mínimo indispensable, limpio y cómodo

Hotel con lo indispensable para dormir y descansar, la habitación un poco pequeña pero cumple, no tiene restaurante pero por las mañanas ofrece un desayuno continental y cerca de ahí hay varios lugares a cuatro cuadras donde encontrarás variedad de opciones para comer, desayunar o cenar, la ubicación es cercana al centro unos 10 minutos en auto, no tiene estacionamiento propio y por la noche te brindan una pensión muy cerca de la ubicación, no tuvimos problema por la noche dejamos el carro en la calle y anduvimos caminando sin sentirnos inseguros, personal muy amable y atento, sin problema.

Céntrico, limpio, en general bien, la única recomendación es mejorar la decoración está un poco tétrico con calaveras y catrinas aunque no era temporada de Halloween a mis hijos le dio miedo el lugar pero el trato bien y cumplió con la ubicación
