Overall Ratings & Reviews Barrio Downtown Mexico City Hostel

Never had any handsoap or proper bathroom cleaning services. Unsanitary and not safe for travelers.

The box beds are great, really secure. They also have lots of daily walking tours and activities. The main downside is you need the window open and the street is noisy. This didn’t bother me but if you need quiet, this wouldn’t be it. I loved my stay and would love to go back.

Enjoyed my stay, the hostel is clean and comfortable with good service, the guests are mixed age. The breakfast was ok with limited options. One improvement suggestion is organized hostel activities can be better with more variety of experiences.

Great service and location

amazing experience

Me gusto mucho la ubicacion muy conveniente y muy amable el personal. Muy limpio lo unico es q no servia la secadora de pelo...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as Hostel Barrio. First off the location is unbeatable. Perfect spot in the Historical Center but also easily accessible to other neighborhoods. Not to mention a small convenience store next door and pharmacy right across the street. The hostel itself is gorgeous with lots of fun decorations. Rooms are everything you need, facilities are always sparkling clean, staff are tremendously friendly. Icing on the cake is the terrace bar and then rooftop green area. If you are coming to CDMX stay here!!!!!

Very nice and clean

Staff was nice but safe didn't work and it was hot and smelled like feet but it was ok just not my cup of tea

Location

I had the most wonderful time. Fully recommend to stay here.

I stayed in a mixed-gender box bed room, with 8 box beds. The closing and locking doors on all the box beds was very much like a capsule hotel. I liked the small closet for clothes and bags in each box, and the safe, which was large enough to fit my Macbook, though i didnt feel the need to use it. The hostel seems quite newly remodeled. The bathrooms, rooms, and community spaces were quite clean. The staff were friendly and helpful, some spoke english, some did not, but it was not a problem for me, even though my spanish is not good. i felt comfortable walking around by myself (solo woman) to nearby landmarks, stores, restaurants. I was working while staying 5 nights, and never had a problem with the wifi. The work area is also quiet, clean, comfortable. The Whatsapp group makes it very easy to meet other travelers and join hostel events(i enjoyed the Lucha Libre event). They also arranged a driver to pick me up from the airport, which was greatly appreciated; the airport taxi/uber area is quite hectic at the airport. (Note that they will request you download Whatsap, but Hotels.com eliminates this in the mesage, idk why) My only complaint was the noise in the rooms: the road noise at night is loud, the speaker shop next door is very loud (though they generally dont play music late at night or early). I slept with headphones in and white noise playing, otherwise i dont think i wouldve been able to sleep. Otherwise, a very nice place, a very enjoyable stay.

Hostal Barrio - I have stayed at for some time - it is very very very clean - very very very safe compared to all other hostels I have tried in CDMX - you will feel like you are at home - like your second home - BC the staff is very loving and kind and really care about their guests. Love Y'all !!!! My Best friends !!! And God Bless Hostal Barrio.

Well i always i been in a hostel so for me nothing was to good at beginning. Leter i notice some good things. I enjoy my time with you.

Very clean and nice facilities - but the social aspect of the hostel was really disappointing, and often times the tours and activities were cancelled because just 1 person wanted to go. Not much of a social environment and more like a hotel.

Everything is awesome

Nice place and clean and nice people ☺️

Very expensive

First time to Mexico and as a solo female I was apprehensive. I can't tell you how pleased I was to turn a corner at almost 10pm after navigating the Linea 4 buses from the airport and to stumble into this well-lit, modern, tidy and clean hostel! Booked a single room which was comfy and just enough space for me. A bit cold and could hear comings and goings at Reception but if this stuff doesn't bother you then it's fine. Shared toilets had more than enough cubicles and I don't know how they were always clean but they were. Bar on the 3rd floor is great and liked the free breakfast. Fruit, yoghurt, toast, coffee and chiquiles if you want. Good location in Centro for daytime sightseeing but be aware at night, the surrounding streets are dark and quiet. Staff were fantastic. Would stay again.
