Staff gave me an excellent recommendation on where to get a massage at Manthra Day Spa, located within Casa del Cine, just around the corner. Then I enjoyed a fine meal in the upscale restaurant located within Hotel Punto MX nearby. Great location, and I enjoyed their free library.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I did not like it that the expedia page for Hostel Amigos had that private-looking room with beds and that after paying and receiving the affirmation if one scrolls down a four-bed (two bunkbeds) dormitory was described. I was not happy. Last night was very bad as two more women had come in and the one above me found all kinds of things to do and noise to make throughout the night.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I made a reservation to only sleep 4 hours, I arrived at 4:30 am and I wanted to stay until 9:00 am. The people at the reception only accepted cash for the reservation and I did not have any, because of that I booked online through Expedia and when I showed them the reservation they told me that they could not let me in because check-in was until 3:00pm

El precio fue justo para el buen servicio, es bastante cómodo para quienes solo vamos a dormir y a bañarnos, está a unas cuadras del zócalo y aún de madrugada parece bastante tranquila la zona, las recepcionistas que nos atendieron fueron bastante amables siempre. Lo recomiendo bastante.
