Since I last visited the state of the hostel has deteriorated. In the bathroom the paint was coming off the floor, walls and ceiling, there was a musty smell and the shower wasn't very clean.

Great location and solid hostel. Check-in was easy and staff was friendly.

When I paid on the app for a room for 4people but I was given a room for 6people !

A bit noisy at night but that is to be expected in the city center.

The location is perfect to easily and quickly access all the points of interest of the city. The private rooms are large and comfortable.

Hey I’d stay there again. Nuff’ said

Once you get past the night at the Roxbury sound track and the constant millennial vibe. The place worked for me.

Very noisy and thin walls

Great location, cute rooftop

Stayed in July 2024

Room is pretty basic, nowhere to hang coats or wet towels. Strong chemical smell in bathroom.

Location was great for exploring the city. Staff were friendly and shared spaces were good.

I was disappointed the rooftop terrace is locked in the mornings as I was looking forward to having my coffee.

Good value for the price. The check-in process was easy and the guy helping spoke English. Good location, spacious room, relatively comfortable, and good internet. I would recommend.

Room was very hot and could use a fan. Private bathroom was a bit grotty, but the shared bathrooms were decent.

Great location, friendly staff, and a nice terrace to sit and eat or chill. Enjoyed my stay here!

They only had wool blankets, which weren't needed anyway as it was super hot in the room. There is no window and no AC in the room. Also there are no curtains, so there's no privacy at all. I also didn't like the key system for the rooms, which was quite annoying.

The location of the hostel is really good and just a few minutes walking from Zocalo.

Stayed in May 2024

The kitchen was not very good equiped and the things and the kitchen itself seemed a bit dirty.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. When I asked for another blanket they got me one immediately. There was water to refill available at any time. The private room was nice and had everything we needed, comfy and big bed, towels and nighttables. We had the shared bathroom for ourselves as the room next to us wasn't occupied. There was hot water. The vibe was nice and it was super easy to enter at any hour with the electronic code. I would definitely recommend to stay at Casa Vee Yuu, thank you!

Water stopped running in the shower. Room was not the nicest

. Friendly staff, good location. Was okay for a 1 night stopover

I stayed at this hostel for a lot of my time in Puebla, and I got complacent about the likely safety of sharing a room with five other females. It had seems to me that all the other females that stayed there were honest, and didn’t ever touch any of my belongings. Then, one night - on Thursday, June 15 - I got robbed by a Mexican woman, when I was just outside the door of the room. I had come back to the hostel, at about 7 pm, and the Mexican woman came soon after. I was talking to her for a long time, and she asked me to shut the door (which I had opened to let in some fresh air). So I shut the door, and then I went out of the room to talk to the receptionist for a few minutes (the reception desk being just a few steps away from the door of the female dorm). When I came back into the dorm, the Mexican woman went out, and she didn't come back at all: that is, she had booked in for the night, but she didn't sleep there at all. After she had gone, I discovered that she had stolen all the cash that was in my small daypack (that was on my bed), plus my Visa card, and my mobile phone. I told the young guy who was on reception duty, and he said he would call the owner. However, the owner was at the hostel the following day, and he didn’t talk to me at all. I believe that the hostel would have had a record of the ID card of that Mexican woman, so the police could have been notified. But there are signs (in English and Spanish), in the dorms, to say that the hostel owner takes no responsibility for valuables that are not placed in the lockers. I had no way of getting access to any cash, after the loss of my ATM/Visa card, so I had to go to stay at a hotel for two weeks (that I could pay, fully online, via booking.com, using a different bank's Visa card that is in Australia).

Whenever I paid for extra nights, I was always given a receipt. At other hostels, in Puebla (where I stayed for 8 months), I was not given a receipt when I paid for extra nights. So, for one hostel I was shocked to discover - quite by accident - that a website (that notes complaints about guests) had been notified (untruthfully) that I had left without paying what I owed. So, although Casa Vee Yuu has a pool of semi-volunteer reception staff, they do the right thing by giving guests a receipt for money paid.

It's a nice quiet hostel which was fine for us but if you're looking to socialise, you might find it more difficult.

Good central location, nice clean rooms and shared kitchen which was useful for making breakfast etc. Free tea and coffee too in the morning which was nice!

Stayed in May 2023

The bathrooms/showers could use some help. Not the strongest showers and no hooks.

A good hostel right near the Zocalo. Friendly staff, good & complementary breakfast (they rotate the meal every three days: Oats, pancakes, and chilaquiles). Nice courtyard to hang out in. This place is definitely worth it for the price. Make sure to go to Cholula as well while you are in Puebla.

This building has a courtyard, on the ground floor, that is open to the sky (so open to all the spaces above: dorms, lounge, breakfast area). The reception desk is located in that open courtyard. There is good and bad about that, depending on your tolerance of loud Latin American music. Most of the staff who work in reception like that loud Latin American music, and (I suppose) it stops them from being bored while they are putting in their hours at the reception desk. But I would like to be able to sometimes come back to the hostel, to relax in that courtyard, away from the noise of traffic and loud music that is normal around the town. Unfortunately, that loud Latin American music is normally being played in the reception area and (because I am staying in the female dorm, that opens into that courtyard), I feel very stressed whenever I come back to the hostel (to relax, or take a nap) because I can’t avoid the noise of that loud music that can be heard all over the hostel (with the courtyard open to the upstairs common areas too). Most of the reception staff will turn down the volume if asked. But one staff member - Mariana - does not like to turn down the volume, if asked, and she gets very unfriendly if asked a second time.

I liked the kitchen. It was available for guests, from after the breakfast that was provided for guests, until 9 pm at night. Mari, the cleaner, leaves the kitchen very clean, after breakfast. Then it seemed that hostel guests were fair to others, and cleaned the kitchen after use.

Stayed in December 2022

sometimes the music is too loud if your trying to nap mid day.

the front desk staff was very nice, especially Ximena! good location

Stayed in February 2023

1) it is very loud - bad acoustic due to the open (beautuful) hall - > which wouldn't be bad but when the music box is running all day long with the same music every day then it is very(!) annoying (dear manager even though it is not as loud as in your reception hall but upstairs the echo of the music is really bad and doubles!) 2) you only get a wool blanket WITHOUT a duvet - it is very unhygienic (since it won't be washed after every guest) and it scratches 3) the showers have seen better times but I have seen worse 4) I would not recommend doing the free walking tour with the hostel - it was boring! - do it with Estación Mexico 5) what happened to the nice(!) rooftop?? Why isn't there nice benches/ chairs/ tables? 6) breakfast you cannot call breakfast - it is very good but it is so little that after a few minutes you have to find a breakfast place again

I really liked the old building with open hall in the middle. Even though the pictures look much better than the reality it had its charm

bed was a bit uncomfortable.

good location, staff very friendly, rooftop, free breakfast, room felt clean

Such a great hostel to stay if you want to explore Puebla historic centre. Right next to Zocalo, walking distance to bus stop to Cholula. Stuff were so friendly , breakfast delicious and room spacious and clean.

Nice property with a bit of a rustic feel. Dorms have big lockers, has a decent kitchen and had good breakfast included. Had a nice courtyard with tables which was nice to meet other travelsrs

Stayed in April 2022

The kitchen closing at night and not opening until 8am. They need a few more chairs/tables on the terrace

Great location, nice social space, lovely terrace. The tours and the guides and staff are lovely. Nice place to meet other travellers to go out for walks and things together. Free breakfast is goooooood
