Hostel Amigo (Mexico City)

Posted on 9:19 PM by Unknown


Very jovial, backpacker atmosphere which is to say boisterous, party-hardy gringo good time! The night and day staff are happy to encourage a good time. In fact, every night the bar loudly celebrates "La vida!" and shares free tequila shots. When I checked in, a fiesta was in full swing with (clumsy) dancing and booze. "C'mon and join the party!" the guests shouted.

I paid $150mxn for a dorm room. Some boards of the wood floors (and doors) squeak without mercy but the bunk beds in my dorm did not! The matress was thick and firm. A sizeable foot locker comes with each bed. What's more, guest can enjoy free breakfast and dinner meals. Not bad.



Free Internet is available through the four consuls in the lobby and has fast service. Showers have hot water, strong pressure and, thanks to etiquette reminders above every urinal, facility, and light switch, Hostel Amigo stays clean, energy efficient, hospitable for all guests.

"C'mon and join the party!" the guests shouted.


With its downtown location in Colonia Centro (metro stop: Isabel de la Catolica) I chose to stay here on my first night in town. As it is in the downtown area renting beds here should be convenient for people who like to get party-hardy outside of the hostel without much worry in using taxis to return home after a late night.
