“This multi-story hostel, a short walk from the Zocalo, makes a solid impression with its amiable staff and budget-friendly rates. Thoughtful touches like bed curtains and well-functioning showers, along with appealing terraces, stand out; note, though, that some rooms near the reception can be prone to noise.”
