    Nothing

    The location is very close to the historic center and located close to restaurants, stores and parks. The room was very nice and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower and nice hot water. The courtyard is beautiful and a nice spot to sit and enjoy some race and quiet.

    There is no kitchenette in the hostel.

    I booked a dorm bed but I ended up in a twin room with a private bathroom with 1 other person. Amazing value for money. The WiFi was strong, shower water was hot and the place was very clean. The staff are wonderful. I left my watch behind in the room and they kept it for me and stored my luggage. They also let me use their common area after I checked out for most of the day. I can't recommend this place enough and Xalapa is also a lovely town. The hostel is very secure with a PIN code entrance, room locks and a luggage box for each bed.

    This was my second time staying here. Although it feels more like a hotel than a hostel, it's a great place to stay. My room was very clean and comfortable with one of the best beds I've slept in in a while. The location is easy walking distance to centro and I even walked to the bus station. Overall, this is a great place to stay in Xalapa.

    Rooms next to staff kitchen were a little noisy during break times. No kitchen, just a microwave and fridge that was locked. No cutlery or plates.

    Fantastic location, friendly staff, clean and quiet at night. Such a great price in a beautiful old building with lots of lounge areas. Filtered water and delicious coffee available at all times.

    Best value place I've stayed at this far, especially in Mexico where prices are skyrocketing. The location is in the centre, 3 minutes walk from the historic Mercado and 7 minutes from the main plaza. Coffee is made for free within the dinning area throughout the day and filtered water is also available free of charge. There is also a microwave and fridge and soap and shampoo along with towel are complimentary. The rooms were cleaned every day too. The staff were excellent and the all-round ambience, decor and fauna were delightfully designed. There are multiple common areas, one with a TV, chess and sofas,one outside courtyard and a dinning area. The Room contained a desk, lockers, clothes rail, and ensuite bathroom, where water is always available. There are a variety of room, however, a shared room is a very reasonable 150 pesos. Everything about this property is exceptional. Would 100% recommend to all.

    Could be so much more even with some comfortable couches and fun paintings on the walls.

    I love this place , have come here repeatedly, and hope it will always be there for me. The blankets they gave me were so cozy, I slept like a baby. The shower has good spray (so many don't) and hot water. Water available to refill my bottle and helpful staff.

    My room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I liked the location of the hostal. I would say it's more like a hotel than a hostel. I was there midweek and it was very quiet, nobody around. I never saw any staff apart from when I checked in.

    The noise coming from inside the hotel especially for rooms facing the courtyard which is the one of the rooms I had. Quiet time should be implemented as the noise ( e. g. people talking, footsteps of people taking the stairs, main door/gate opening) can be heard from the room. Management and staff should also be mindful of this noise problem because during my stay some of the noise came from staff and management talking or doing an activity , like showing a new guest a room late at night, that created the noise and can disrupt the rest of their guests.

    Great location. Good value for money. Nice dorm rooms with individual bathroom for each room. Daily cleaning of the room was great.
