Hostel Mundo Joven Catedral

Super clean hostel and great staff! Couldn't beat the location. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The walking tour was great. The music was loud in the room, but the party on the roof was a lot of fun.

Difficult to say anything bad about this hostel. Perfect location with view of the main square. Good food, perfect bar/restaurant at the top with views of CDMX and on top of this good service. And it didn´t make it any worse that I had a dorm all by myself :-)

DON’T COME HERE! There are better places to spend your money. This hostel is a money-machine. Music all night, the rooms smell horribly, they organize private party and close the kitchen and terrace for full days. People yell and talk in the corridors all night (up to 3am). Doors smashing every 5 minutes. You will not sleep. Moreover the rooftop is open to everyone so you won’t find any nice hostel atmosphere. It’s not a hostel, it’s a nightclub. Not to add that we couldn’t find clean toilets over two floors after the private party.

Despite its convenient location and relatively clean rooms, several significant issues greatly affected our overall experience. One of the main drawbacks was the excessive noise within the hostel. Unfortunately, the rooms were all oriented towards either a closed courtyard or the staircase, and the lack of proper windows intensified the noise levels. Instead of windows, only wooden shutters were provided, which proved ineffective in blocking out the sounds from outside. As a result, getting a restful night's sleep became a challenge, and any hopes of tranquility were shattered as early as 5 am each morning. Adding to the disappointment, a booking issue arose during our stay. In an attempt to address the problem, the hostel offered us cocktail vouchers and a promised 15% refund. However, when we arrived at the bar to redeem the vouchers, we discovered that they were only valid for Mezcal or beer, contradicting the promise of cocktails as advertised. Furthermore, despite reaching out to the hostel twice regarding the 15% refund, we have yet to receive any response or reimbursement. This lack of follow-through reflects poorly on the hostel's commitment to customer satisfaction and further contributed to our disappointment.

This is one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed in. It felt so dirty and dark and old. The shower only lasts 10 seconds and you have to keep hitting a button to keep the water flowing. I felt really uncomfortable for my stay. Great location though.
