The bunk beds weren’t particularly comfortable but they were fine and an excellent value. I would have liked coffee available in the morning.

Excellent location, walking distance to the center of town and not far from the bus station. It is a very charming building and a good value.

The first room they gave us at the back, beside the back door, was horrible, even though the hostal wasn't full. We had to ask to see better rooms.

Lovely old building walking distance to the cento historico. We had a room on the front so there is some traffic noise but the room was bright and spacious. I would come here again.

There was not a full kitchen, that was the only bummer, but there is free coffee and a shared fridge.

Nice building, private room was nice and came with a desk/chair and private bathroom. Free coffee was made in the mornings. Easy walk to downtown and also had restaurants nearby. Wi-Fi was excellent and common areas were large so I could work remotely easily.

Nothing really apart from being very quiet but that was ok.

Staff friendly and helpful. The dorm bed was super comfortable and loved having the en suite bathroom. Good base to access the town or visit the museum.

Rooms next to staff kitchen were a little noisy during break times. No kitchen, just a microwave and fridge that was locked. No cutlery or plates.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, clean and quiet at night. Such a great price in a beautiful old building with lots of lounge areas. Filtered water and delicious coffee available at all times.

Everything was ok, not many people was there during my stay time

Good located between ADO station and Zocalo. Everything is easy to reach. Taxi to the Museum of Anthropology and ADO station is 50 Pesos. Good and cheap cafes and restaurants near by. Clean, easy check-in

Could be so much more even with some comfortable couches and fun paintings on the walls.

I love this place , have come here repeatedly, and hope it will always be there for me. The blankets they gave me were so cozy, I slept like a baby. The shower has good spray (so many don't) and hot water. Water available to refill my bottle and helpful staff.

It's basic but it's cheap, so I'd say it's good value for money.

The need for staff to access the fridge.

My room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I liked the location of the hostal. I would say it's more like a hotel than a hostel. I was there midweek and it was very quiet, nobody around. I never saw any staff apart from when I checked in.

This is the best option in the Xalapa I think, but go for the rooms which are not around the reception because you can not open window properly, it is a bit musty and noisy…the ones for 350pesos are waaay better.

The noise coming from inside the hotel especially for rooms facing the courtyard which is the one of the rooms I had. Quiet time should be implemented as the noise ( e. g. people talking, footsteps of people taking the stairs, main door/gate opening) can be heard from the room. Management and staff should also be mindful of this noise problem because during my stay some of the noise came from staff and management talking or doing an activity , like showing a new guest a room late at night, that created the noise and can disrupt the rest of their guests.

Great location. Good value for money. Nice dorm rooms with individual bathroom for each room. Daily cleaning of the room was great.

Location

Nothing

The location is very close to the historic center and located close to restaurants, stores and parks. The room was very nice and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower and nice hot water. The courtyard is beautiful and a nice spot to sit and enjoy some race and quiet.

There is no kitchenette in the hostel.

I booked a dorm bed but I ended up in a twin room with a private bathroom with 1 other person. Amazing value for money. The WiFi was strong, shower water was hot and the place was very clean. The staff are wonderful. I left my watch behind in the room and they kept it for me and stored my luggage. They also let me use their common area after I checked out for most of the day. I can't recommend this place enough and Xalapa is also a lovely town. The hostel is very secure with a PIN code entrance, room locks and a luggage box for each bed.

It seems to have changed and not for the better. They've started unlocking the back door which used to be secured at all times with a key. Now people go in and out of all hours slamming the door and sneaking escorts in late at night. They no longer enforce any noise violations, so even though the quiet hours are officially at 10:30 p.m, the noise continues at all hours. The last week I was there they had a huge group that had some kind of birthday party or gathering and the noise was absolutely insane. There was people in the hospital after quiet hours who weren't even staying there.

I've stayed here a quite few times over the last 4 years. It's always extremely clean. Good location. It's a beautiful old building. It's been in their family for a long time.
