Third Visit

This was my third visit to this Hostel. It is safe, clean and very comfortable. If you are looking for a basic room with a private bath this is perfect. They have a communal kitchen and public areas. Everyone is very nice. I highly recommend this location.

Back in Guadalajara

The reality is that this has become my home away from home, its quiet, comfortable, the owners are super nice and make you feel at home. If you want to keep to yourself the place is big enough that you can, or you can make friends with the other guests staying there. The communal kitchen is fantastic and you keep your stuff there and not worry about anything. There is a little shop at the corner where you can get drinks, snacks and the neighborhood is really quiet and safe. Simply love staying here and highly recommend it.

It's ok. In a really good area sites wise, easy to get around and look at everything. The woman running the hostel is awesome, and there's a map of the best dites to help you make sure you see everything. However, the place itself is pretty simple and there's no privacy. It's clean, but uncomfortable, and I couldn't shower. Small breakfast, no eggs. Really go only if your looking for somewhere to crash imo.

4th Time!

This was my fourth visit to this hostel, that should say it all. I was able to get my favorite room and really enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. Remember this is a hostel, but frankly I feel that you get a lot more for your money. Having a share kitchen is so cool and the patio and balconies are great. Miriam, I believe she is the owner, is super nice and helpful with any questions you may have. The neighborhood is residential but very quiet and safe. I will be back.

Unfortunately I fell off the steps coming down the restroom. I don’t think those stairs are safe. Especially how slippery it was. Never again am I staying here unfortunately. Not to mention the light, my husband kept running into because it’s hanging very low In the middle of the room. Those stairs going on don’t feel safe at all 🙁

Hotel con lo mínimo indispensable, limpio y cómodo

Hotel con lo indispensable para dormir y descansar, la habitación un poco pequeña pero cumple, no tiene restaurante pero por las mañanas ofrece un desayuno continental y cerca de ahí hay varios lugares a cuatro cuadras donde encontrarás variedad de opciones para comer, desayunar o cenar, la ubicación es cercana al centro unos 10 minutos en auto, no tiene estacionamiento propio y por la noche te brindan una pensión muy cerca de la ubicación, no tuvimos problema por la noche dejamos el carro en la calle y anduvimos caminando sin sentirnos inseguros, personal muy amable y atento, sin problema.
