The location is convenient for all things in the Historic City Center. The private rooms are VERY small and very hot. There is no AC or fan (I asked for one), but also no ventilation. I was prepared for the loudness at night (because of the very fun rooftop bar with the best view!), but I was not prepared to be woken up every morning by crying babies. The people at the front desk seemed like they were inconvenienced when I asked any questions.

The location of the hostel is unique , very close to many places , facilities and important spots. The staff very nice, good price and clean rooms .. I would recommend it to my friends to save money and have a great environment. It definitely recommend it in my YouTube channel.

The location is the best thing about this hostel. The cafe down stairs is average. The bartenders up stairs are the kinds of bartenders to take your money and not give you change. basically all the servers/bartenders there expect tips for bad service. Its kind of ridiculous. There were cockroaches in my room too. But the hostels location makes it such a good spot. The roof top bar upstairs was freakin all about groups, everyone had their own group going so if you are traveling alone this is something to consider. Average hostel. I would do a one or two days here and go to another hostel if i were you, or just skip this one all together.

An affordable hostel in a good location. The bar at the top could be a little cheaper but overall I'm satisfied with my stay and happily recommend this hostel to others. It can be a little noisy at night but this is typical of a city centre hostel so if you're looking for relaxation I would stay elsewhere, otherwise, join the party and enjoy yourself!

The hostel has a really nice common area with a really good breakfast included. The rooms are basic and with almost no daylight, but clean. There is a really nice terrace with an awesome view on the cathedral, but it closes very early, such as the common kitchen. This makes get togethers after 11 or 12 pm impossible. We were thrown out of the kitchen around 12 pm by very unfriendly staff. It would be nice having a common area in order to be able to hang out with other people at night.

The lockers are a good size as is the dorm. It was nice to have a lift. The beds were comfortable and it was helpful having a fan. However the cleaner clearly never looked behind a door as there was dirt behind the door to the dorm, the one to the shower and the toilet floor was covered in hair. The shower curtain was mouldy and stuck to itself. There was toothpaste up the wall by the hand basins. The terrace bar was very loud at weekend and went on until 2am. The smell of fat from the ground floor restaurant was really unpleasant; may I suggest an extractor fan. The stairs and the foyer floor were dirty too. I would not stay again.

Met lots of great people and really enjoyed the trips organised by the hostel. Jorge deserves a special mention! The shower was one of the worst I've ever come across as the water only comes out when you hold down the button, but at least there was another one on our floor which worked. The breakfast was good some days and very average on others. The bar is very loud and goes on very late which makes it difficult to sleep due to the ridiculous base. Also, the rooms need fans. It is so hot.

Great location. Beds and rooms were decent. Sheets were threadbare. Great patio on the roof, a terrible kitchen if you actually want to cook dinner. They include a decent breakfast. Had to wear a ridiculous wristband the entire stay to verify that you were a hostel patron since they have so much other traffic from the restaurant, bar, and travel booking office. Rooftop bar has a great view but the staff aren’t always on point.

I have stayed in this hostel 3 or 4 times on various trips to CDMX. The location is great if you want to be right in the middle of downtown/by the Zocalo.The social scene at this hostel is really top notch - it's pretty easy to mingle with just about everyone in the kitchen and on the little kitchen terrace, and the bar upstairs is sweet - killer views of the city, a nice breeze, great lounging spot. The free tequila shot they give you is also a nice little bonus. The downside of this hostel is the noise at night though - per the construction of the interior, which actually is a very cool space/atrium the sound travels up and around through any of the rooms that share a wall or windows with the atrium. This isn't quite a big deal I thought when drunk people come in late at night cause that's bound to happen. But what bothered me more was that either the cleaning ladies or the volunteers setting up the breakfast downstairs would play music on their cell phones everyday at like 7 AM, and they know that every sleeping guest upstairs can hear that. Now I know that they have a job to do and are helping the hostel get started for the day, but if the early morning workers could keep the music down that would really make for a more peaceful sleep for the guests (hint hint).

Staff were very rude and extremely unhelpful. I arrived early hours of the morning, I wasn't shown to my bed, when I got to my bed I had no pillow. I had to wait 15 minutes for the pillow. I woke in the morning and when I told the reception that I would like to change rooms, I was told no, but I can check out. Rude rude rude staff. I decided to check out and move to another hostel which was the BEST decision I ever made! It was way cleaner and friendlier. Would never recommend this hostel, breakfast is also very poor!

This place is dirty and depressing!
I paid extra to have a private room and private bathroom but felt like a prisoner.
The noise from the rooftop bar was expected but did not expect that the fan in my room would be so loud as well. The fan was the only way to get any air in the room as its all indoor without windows or a/c. the elevator went out of service n my second day and had to take the stairs up and down to the 3rd floor. I cut my trip short and booked a hotel for my last 2 nights because I just could not take it anymore. This place is a terrible, I would not recommend.response / report this review -

Hostel Mundo Joven Catedral was my home for my three week stay in Mexico City, and it was a great fit for me! It is situated in a great location, with many amenities (laundry, a computer lab, rooftop bar) that made the experience comfortable and pleasant. I would stay at this hostel again, if I ever find myself back in the city. The kind hostel employees/friends is a bonus!

It was very good staying at the hostel. The people I shared the room were nice. The staff was nice and I made some good friends. Would recommend it to anyone going to Mexico City.

Pros:
Great location, close to Zocalo and surrounding museums, tour activities/packages offered at hostel, comfortable beds.
Cons:
The rooftop bar turns into a club most nights and especially weekends. Impossible to get sleep! Music blasts till after 1am. Open to non-Hostel guest that sometimes wandered the halls to find the bathroom.
Pipes are located throughout the room, each time the toiled flushed it sounds like a water fall is in the room.
I'd recommend staying elsewhere and visiting this hostel for its activities and rooftop bar. Getting a good night sleep here is slim.response / report this review -

The breakfast was good. The bed wasn't very comfortable but the private room was good. The water temperature in the shower fluctuated a bit. There was no air conditioning, just windows that opened up to an atrium, with no outside air. So it was very warm during the day and wasn't very comfortable at night, which is my biggest complaint. It was fairly loud at night due to the nightlife they host, which would have been nice if that had been listed. It was clean and very safe. Their safety measures made me feel very good. They called taxis for me whenever I needed them. The restaurant served good food.

The upstairs patio was awesome! Great views for days! They have something going on everyday. The breakfast is great for a quick bite and onward to the tourist things. They also have tours that pick you up and take you to the most popular sites. I had a wonderful stay, as well as my friends. The staff was great, it was clean and totally quiet during the night time. I would stay here again for sure! :)

The location is really good but, since it has a good location and a chill aura. Most people is awake overnight and talk really loud. If you are up to that than it's the perfect choice if you want to rest, you need to check for somewhere else

Great location near the Zócalo. Cheap enough beers and cocktails to while away the hours. Staff are like and quick to help. My 3rd time and we'll be back again

Amazing view, nice rooftop bar. Area gets pretty dead at night. Not the greatest social atmosphere if you are traveling alone. But they do offer group activities for the guests
