It's a very social hostel with an active and busy bar/courtyard, so expect noise until around 11pm Other than that, really comfortable beds, hot showers in a superb central location

I had the best time!

Absolutely loved my time at Viajero CDMX. Staff was super friendly and always ready to help. Lots of activities and beautiful facilities. Everything was super clean, the bathroom structure was the best I’ve seen in a hostel, very private and easy to comfortably shower. The hostel was just 2 blocks from Zócalo, close to buses and subway stations and allowed easy access to the city and sights. Would 100% recommend and come back!

I will admit the area is not very practically in the sense of tourist attractions like main museums, cocktail bars, restaurants, soccer games. But it’s well worth it for the vibes, friendly people, cheap street food . There’s a few attractions nearby that are pretty cool as well. The staff and volunteers are amazing. Very friendly, social and always want to do things. There are free and paid activities and tours every day. The beds are comfy and the rooms are fairly quiet given it being a social hostel but quiet hours begin at 11pm so no need to worry about late night partying, people usually go out afterwards.

The service was not welcoming at all. Everything was okay until I asked for my invoice for my taxes. They started to create excuses and so far, they haven't sent it. I can update this review if they change their mind and send it but so far they're ignoring my calls and emails.

Was not expecting to have so much fun at the Hostel. With daily events and drinking games staying in can be as fun as going out to the bars. The bartender Max was a great bartender and great to talk with. The hosts Keren and Lily were also fun to play drinking games with and were great hosts at the boat party!

The staff members are friendly. This is clearly a “social” hostel that anyone can make new friends all over the world. I live in a mixed room and all my roommates are polite and respectful. Events happen everyday so even if you don't want to plan your trip, you can enjoy the city quite easily.

I stayed at Viajero for a week in a 12-bed dorm Overall, it's an amazing hostel - one of the best I've stayed at. Highlights: - The building is beautiful - it's one of those 2-storey Latin American buildings with an open courtyard in the middle - The rooms and showers are clean, the kitchen is usually clean but could do with being checked a bit more often - It's a great social experience. The open courtyard makes it very easy to hang out and chat to people - The staff are very helpful and super friendly. A special thanks to the amazing and charming Brenda, who checked up on me each day after I got sick and after I said the A/C in the room was too cold Lowlights: - The dorm was too cold because the A/C was set too cold (the staff control it, not the guests). 24° was OK, anything lower than that was too cold - They tell you the coffee is "free", like it says on the sign outside, but then you discover that you actually have to pay 50 pesos ($2.40) for it during breakfast hours (8am to 11am) - For sure, I bet this makes great money for the hostel, but for the guests, it's just annoying... The coffee is just basic brew coffee from a big metal urn. It should be free at all hours. - They need to invest in ceramic cups. They have a limited number of metal cups, but the rest are plastic. This is not good and not safe for drinking hot drinks. E.g. the coffee from the urn is super hot, so it's going to melt the plastic into your drink

호스텔 투숙객 모두가 소셜적이고 매일매일 3가지 정도의 이벤트 및 파티가 있어 혼자와도 외국인 친구 사귀기 좋고 즐겁다. 위치 소깔로 광장 바로 뒷편이어서 너무 좋음. 전체적인 시설 깨끗하고 좋음. 로비에 bar도 저렴히면서 분위기 좋음 - 스탭 직원들이 절반은 너무너무 착하고 좋은데. 나머지 절반 굉장히 불친절함. 극과극. 타월 제공 안함. 180페소 주고 하나 받아야됨(디파짓100) 내성적이거나 집순이 스타일은 힘들수 있음. 도미토리 침대 캡슐 호텔 스타일이라 답답하고 불편할수 있음.
