    Nothing. The best!

    If this isn’t the nicest hostel I’ve stayed at in Latin America, it’s in my top two or three. Perfect location, facilities that feel luxurious (beautiful tiling, very nice sheets, good soap and shampoo and towels — all a step up from what you’d get at a normal hostel), and amazing staff. You will love it here!

    Note that the nights are cool in this part of Mexico. Rooms don’t have any heating but blankets are provided.

    Room was spacious, close to Centro.

    The wifi upstairs could be a bit spotty. Sometimes, we had to go out of our room and move closer to the stairs for it to reconnect. Once we reconnected, it seemed to keep the connection until you either left the hotel or turned off your computer. The rooms were also not so soundproof. We worked early in the morning and didn't like that we potentially would disturb other guests while working from inside the room. If we can hear other guests talk in their room, they would be able to hear us too, especially early mornings. We also didn't like that they closed the door at 11.30 pm. We have a dog and usually do a walk before we go to bed. Since the door was locked, we had to wake up the night staff and then have them waiting for us to come back from the walk. The same in the morning, the door doesn't open until 7.30 am and we usually do a walk in the morning before work.

    The location couldn't be better. It's just around the corner from the main square and it's close to all sights in town. The staff working there was super friendly and helped us a lot with things to do and see around the area. The room was comfortable, and they installed a laptop table that you can fold out from the wall. The room was very clean, and they provided us with water bottles and shampoo/soap. Since the room doesn't have a fridge, they let us use the shared one in the common kitchen. The hotel is pet friendly, and the costs for the dog were 150 pesos per stay.

    Bad roommates. This girl came back with her group at about 1am and kept talking loudly on the phone until about 3am. The group really made a mess of the bathroom due to drunkenness and diarrhea. Not the hotel's fault

    It is a cute place with limited hostal beds. The room had 8 beds with los of floor space and bathroom in the room.. I was lucky to get one of the four beds that were more "open". The other four beds were more of the capsule or maoseleum style. I want the airy kind. It has a kitchen that we can use and I almost cooked something but didn't on a 1 night stay. El hotel/hostal es bonito con lo que cuenta. La habitación de hostal es de 8 camas, 4 "abiertas" y 4 al estilo maoseleum ocapsula. Cuenta con cocina si les gusta y refri.

    Only the kitchen is incredibly dark and they decline to add any more light. The stack of cook pots were awful and I would not cook/eat out of them, so I had to eat my meals out.

    Comfortable mattresses, hooray! Very helpful staff and clean hostel. Full curtains around the bunks, for privacy. Great location overall and the hostel itself is set on the inside edge of a small public square, so it's away from the street and traffic, but still right in the middle of town.

    Not really the most social place if you’re a solo traveler.

    Great location, helpful staff, nice facilities. I like that they give you shampoo and soap (even in the dorms). I’d definitely stay here again when I come back to Patzcuaro.

    The kitchen is so messy, it is more like a warehouse than a kitchen. The WiFi cannot be used in the room, but you don't want to stay in the cold and humid outdoor area at night.

    As the only budget accommodation in town, it provides a cheap and comfy environment for you to experience this quiet little town. They have a spacious and stylish common area to chill, and the staff is so kind that like a homestay.

    I was the only one there but when the staff was talking it was very loud. Guessing it would be loud when full. Bathroom smelled. Needs drain covers.

    Loved the beauty and the simplicity.

    This was great hostel to stay at in Pátzcuaro . It is right near the Zocalo, and there is a great coffee shop nearby. The dorm was comfortable and the shower has hot water if you aren't in there for too long. The courtyard is a good place to relax, though there aren't any other communal areas to hang out if it rains. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's a kitchen for cooking. I was very happy to visit this town and also go out to the island.

    The staff here are amazing people! Moy, Alma and Maribel helped me so much when my car was towed by local police, and I didn't know how to get it back. The place is very beautiful, clean, comfortable, quiet, good wifi, right in the center near the market. Highly recommended!
