    We had to wait to be let into the hostel (sometimes knocking and ringing for up to 5 minutes), which was super inconvenient especially at night when it was cold. There was only one mains port in our room which meant that we could only ever charge one device at a time.

    Hostel is beautiful and very centrally located. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and professional! Beds are comfy and it's very clean. Amazing value for money at $13 per night for a private room with two double beds.

    The bathroom in the private didn't have good ventilation and the toilet wouldn't fully flush the entire stay. Would have liked some soap for washing my hands, too.

    Staff member Ivan was a standout -- helpful and nice! Other staff had great food recommendations and were friendly. The private room (#1) was dark so I slept well. Was only there briefly, so can't comment on the kitchen / social scene etc.

    I know that is a place full of young travelers, I understood, but the rooftop always smells to weed and sometimes I had headache

    The price vs you’re paying for is very good. It was mix bedroom with around 12 beds, however it didn’t feel crowded besides it was almost full. I paid 50 mxn for the breakfast, usually you pay for the same breakfast in Mexico City around 180-200 mxn. Staff was also cool.

    There are no lockers in the room, which I find very inconvenient. There are some in the reception area but they are very tiny and don’t even fit a computer, so if you have something valuable larger than that size you can only either leave it to the reception or take it with you all times. The shower was not working properly, it was very difficult to regulate to a temperature that was not either boiling hot or freezing cold. Be prepared to spend 10 minutes for that.

    I stayed in the female dorm in the top terrace, the bed was very comfortable and the room seemed newly renovated. The area itself was very quiet at night but I was woken up every morning at 6am by firecrackers shot nearby (they are very common in San Cris). There is lots of common space in the hostel including a bar and a shared kitchen, overall it’s great value for money

    The kitchen sometimes was left a bit dirty and messy and the utensils were not the best, but it's still ok to cook something quick.

    The cozy environment and chill vibes makes this hostel a very nice place to stay. The beds are comfortable enough to rest nicely and get ready for the next day. The volunteers were very helpful and friendly, especially Viviana 😉. They also offer tours for a very reasonable price.

    Water issues, which we weren’t informed during check in. Staff gave us towels even though we weren’t able to take shower, not mentioning anything. They told us afterwards.

    Seems like it was once a wonderful place that hasn't been maintained or cared for...

    The kitchen has definitely seen better days (ants all over, generally quite dirty). Depending on the day, there were no forks, bowls, or spoons available - I think they had been taken to the staff kitchen, which is locked at night. Also no salt or oil, which we had to buy ourselves. The private rooms all have windows into a hallway with essentially no sound insulation. We got woken up pretty much every night by other guests, and there didn't seem to be any quiet hours enforced. Both towels and sheets had holes in them. No soap provided in the bathroom.

    The wi-fi was excellent and I was able to take video meetings with no problems. The location is good, close to center but no noise from the street/neighbors at night. The whole space is covered in beautiful murals.

    Best ever hostel for backpackackers. If you are solo traveler or with group of friends will be great place for you. Hostel have everything what do you need ( kitchen with fridge, laundry, bar with beers, rooftop, a lot of open space where you can rest in silence on sofa or meet new friends ) also you can buy candy or order breakfast etc. Every day hostel is cleaned, stuff is super friendly and helpful. Advise about city I tour wchich you can buy in hostel. In Planet Hostel is awesome atmosphere, is organise going together to the pub or dancing. Close to main square.

    We asked for a quiet room and were put opposite the shared toilets with metal bolts. It was not a quiet hostel and the kitchen facilities were very poor. No microwave, very few pots, cups all plastic. Limited agua purificada. When it was empty after 8 it was not supplied again until the morning. Very little cutlery. The bathroom was tiny and difficult to move around in.

    The staff were nice and helpful, and the location was good. Nice and central.
