Casa San Ildefonso

We were upgraded to a private room on check in that was nice of the staff. Rooms were very spacious, bright with clean bathrooms and good shower pressure. Breakfast was very basic with bread rolls, ham, cheese and spreads. Disappointed that the location is advertised with a kitchen when it doesn’t. There is simple a fridge and microwave without a stove top or any cooking utensils available. Water is only available during breakfast hours and they do not allow refills. They should perhaps offer a $5 peso charge for unlimited water during the day like most other accommodation in Mexico City. Staff strictly adhere to the no noise after 9pm rule and there is 24/7 security. Good location but not overly appealing with guest needs

Extremely disappointed. I really wanted to like this place as the shared space is nice, but I have never slept worse at a hostel (or hotel for that matter). Room was very moldy, especially the bathroom. Even after moving the bed to the middle of the room and turning the fan on, I barely got sleep. Woke up early in the morning because staff was playing salsa music u0026 the walls of the room are thin. Usually I love salsa, but not at 7am when mold prevented me from falling asleep in the first place. Breakfast was also very disappointing. Location is convenient (although a taxi told me it's a bit of a dangerous area), but I won't ever stay here again. Not worth it.

Great place for a budget and if you want to explore more of Mexico Centro, i must said that their breakfast is one of the best that I have try in the city and it’s free !! Fresh toasted bread every morning and a very clean ambiance. Cute spot on the heart of Centro de Mexico

The hostel is in a beautiful historic building with high ceilings. Facilities were very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful, and security was no issue. However, I cannot recommend this hostel for a few reasons. Mosquitos were a real problem at night. They kept buzzing in my ear and biting my face, keeping me up for hours. Perhaps staff could remedy this by keeping the doors of vacant rooms closed at all times. The public shower had no hot or even warm water in the morning. Given the cost of the room, this is unacceptable. The location is not safe in the evenings, so I cannot recommend for other solo female travelers especially.

The place was very nice and rooms are clean. Everything was going well until my last night. I was woken up by staff at 2:30am for check in. When i inquired with the front desk staff why their own staff turned on the light and was giving a full tour in the middle of the night. She said, “you’re in a dorm, people can check in at anytime after 2 pm”. While I understand anyone can check in the middle of the night. The staff should respect their own quiet hours and tell new guests to be as quiet as possible. It is definitely not normal for staff to give full tours at 2:30 am.

Nice hostel, very clean, good breakfast. There is a security guard who buzzes you in and out. Front desk staff are polite. Not a lot of socializing going on, but perfect if you just want a pleasant quiet place to rest.

Great location, atmosphere and wonderful rooms with high ceilings. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The bathroom was somewhat basic but worked fine. Breakfast is simple - juice, coffee, jam and bread.
