Positivo: Los chicos de servicio son muy atentos. Excelemtes ellos. Buena ubicación respecto a rutas de buses. Negativo/para que mejoren: en cocina vasos y platos plásticos, esto tiende a ser menos higienico que otros materiales como vidrio o loza. Redes de internet deficientes. Cobran adicional por algunas cosas como toallas (en otros hostales donde me cobraron más barato por noche, nunca me cobrarin por cosas así)

快適に過ごせるホステル

客室や浴室、キッチンなど清潔な印象。談笑できるスペースも確保されているので、客同士喋ることが可能。 ただ、一点気になったのが、小学校の図工室のような臭いがしたこと（テーブルに瓶のフタを取り付けるためにボンドを使用していたためか？？）。これは、気になりました。。。

Great staff, but dirty bed

PRO: Although there was only one person who was able to speak English fluently, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They did housekeeping of my room 1 of the 3 nights there, so that was great. Room has a fan that will keep you cool enough. The share area has a bunch of local recommendations you can rely on. CON: Ok bathroom and shower. It's barely a breakfast - I would not rely on it. Milk, juice and some cereal-looking thing. Bed had fleas or bed bugs.... got bitten all over my legs... very uncomfortable there. Wifi was slow at best - not connecting most of the time.

Big beds and awesome people

Stayed in a shared dorm room and there were many options for the bunk beds. I had a queen sized bed to myself. The place has a funny multi levelled lay out but it is in line with the interesting place. Great location to musume and shops.

Great price for a nice double room

We stayed here for 6 nights in the end. It is very well situated in Guadalajara with the Central Historico and other attractions nearby. Some reviews have said that the street feels unsafe but we didn't feel that. The double room was good with a comfy bed and hot water in the shower (most of the time). Reception staff were helpful with suggestions and called us a cab to the airport. It said there was free breakfast but we didn't witness this happening and no one mentioned it on check in, we didn't ask as we were happy eating the incredible local food. It also says that there is housekeeping daily but our room only got cleaned once. It didn't really feel like a backpacker place as no one seemed very sociable and on the last night the place was full of children who arrived at 10pm, were super loud until after 11 and then again from 6am! We were happy with everything overall, particularly as it was such a good price. If you are a budget traveler looking for somewhere to rest your head whilst enjoying the splendour of Guadalajara i wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not good. Do not recommend!

Let me start by saying I've traveled a lot and been in many hostels before, so I know that a hostel isn't supposed to be super clean or comfortable. Given that, this was one of the worst, if not the worst experience in a hostel. There was usually no one in reception, the bathrooms and common areas were dirty and a mess, the bed was super uncomfortable ( I could feel all the springs ). If there happened to be someone in reception, they weren't very helpful or knowledgeable. They say they provide breakfast, but they really don't ( only the first day there was a tiny bowl with cereal and some milk, juice). Positives: they allowed me to check in at 7 am when I arrived, internet is relatively good, and there is hot water for shower ( although the water doesn't go down the drain creating a big puddle). Overall disappointed with this experience.

Muy malo

Si ven que vas con poco dinero en tu cartera así mismo será el trato que te darán. Hablan mal de sus huéspedes... En esta ocasión pues de mi... Y lo peor es que no disimulan en hacerlo y hacen evidente el rechazo hacia uno.... No aguante dormir en ese lugar por lo cual me retire y no lo recomiendo a nadie
