I stayed at Casa Pepe as a guest and as a volunteer. I had one of the best times of my life volunteering and staying here and I look forward to returning one day.

Volunteering experience: The work assigned to me was mostly fun and suited to my skills and interests. Everything that I had to do was clear, and if I had any questions to ask someone in the staff team was always willing to answer.

Guest experience: The rooms are beautiful and well priced, both the shared dorms and the private rooms. The activities are great and encompass many different experiences. The bar is well stocked and a great selection of cocktails is available. The kitchen offers a wide selection of different meals, I didn't even manage to try even half the items on the menu the good few I did try were fantastic. As a tourist, the location was perfect, close to all the necessities as well as historical buildings.

I loved my stay at Casa Pepe and I really hope to return in the future! There are so many events through the hostel that added so much fun and opportunities to meet other travelers to my trip.

The best part of Casa Pepe is the rooftop bar. It's a great place to hang out with everyone and Adrian, the bartender, is such a wonderful guy! He's so welcoming and friendly and makes amazing drinks. Make sure to say hi and chat with him while you're there. He made my experience at Casa Pepe truly wonderful!

This was our first time staying in a hostel and it was a good experience! Since we are a married couple we got a private room and bathroom. The hostel is right in the city center. I didn't expect the food and drinks to be so good for a hostel. They had some really good options for breakfast, which is included in your room price. There is no A/C, so we mostly slept with the balcony window/doors open. Be warned: there is a lot of noise from the street and from the terrace as they often have music playing. Two downsides: 1) The confirmation email doesn't give much information about the room you booked; and, when I sent an email to the establishment to confirm, I didn't receive a response. 2) There was a small mix up where a new guest was given the wrong key and was briefly given access to our room, while we were in it. Although, it was resolved quickly and the staff came to our room to apologize, it's kind of scary to think what could have happened to our belongings if we weren't in the room at the time that someone else was given access. However, overall, it was a good experience, and we would return.

I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Pepe. The rooftop restaurant and bar had a great vibe, delicious tacos and friendly staff. Perfect place for chilling out over beers and chatting to new friends in the sunshine. I recommend going on the walking tour, particularly as a solo traveller, as I met a lovely group this way. Would definitely recommend for the sociable solo traveller.

This was our first stop on a tour of Mexico and Central America, and was the perfect easing in to backpacker life. The staff are all brilliant - super accomodating and smily. Rooms were sparkling clean, and food was great too. The main draw, despite these brilliant positives, was the people you meet. It's a great community, and Casa Pepe's tours bring everyone together perfectly. We especially enjoyed the karaoke night and the boat trip.

How this hostel has so many rave reviews is beyond me. I booked a room for two nights and had to check out after only staying one night. I've stayed in many hostels and this is the WORST I've visited by far. There are stains on the headboard and sheets. It is impossible to sleep because the streets are so loud and the walls are paper thin. You can hear other guests' conversations in the room next to you. Overall the hostel is dingy and gross and I wouldn't consider the staff friendly or accommodating. Do yourself a favor and book a room at Selina if you are looking into staying at a hostel.

Bar staff is extremely rude. They’ll tell you they’re out of something when they just don’t want to make it. Like what bar legitimately runs out of tequila? Also tried to tell me they don’t serve tea when I was so sick I nearly lost my voice. The cleaning products they use smell extremely toxic and cannot be safe. Cleaning staff will throw your stuff away while also not replacing empty products in the bathroom. Some days they didn’t clean the room, which got really gross when there was 8 people and one bathroom. My door key stopped working multiple times. Area is sketchy.
