Hostel Mundo Joven Catedral

4 K.T. A. (kaskodil) - a month ago

Within the region, the hostel was one of the cheapest. One night cost us about 30€ for a small room with a 1,40m bed. We shared the sanitary facilities with others, but everything was quite clean.

The room was exactly as seen in the photos. Very small with glassless windows, but shutters, to one of the two courtyards. Due to the fact that these were connected to the staircase, it was unfortunately always a bit noisy when a door closed or someone used the bathroom, because the walls are also thin. Therefore, the room did not invite us to stay, only to sleep, but that suited our program. We did not hear anything from the street. We were there during the week.

Breakfast was included and a little different every day and very good for the price, with sweet and savory options, coffee and water.

The reception is open around the clock, so you can check in easily even after a late flight!

We felt well taken care of and can recommend it, for a hostel. You just have to deal with the noise level.

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 meet anyone.

It’s not a hostel, it’s a nightclub.

Have stayed here multiple times before with no issues. Tonight, I woke up at 2 in the morning, itching all over. Turned on the lights, and found that the bed was infested with bedbugs. I went down and got the night manager, brought him up to the room and showed him. He took pictures of the bugs. He said "What do you want to do?" I said "I want to sleep in a bed that isn't infested with bugs." He said "I have another room, but it's more expensive." I demanded my money back, and found another hotel. I won't go back. Picture shows the welts that are all over my body.

Loved this hostel at the center of the historic center! Credit card payment accepted and relatively responsive via email. Super friendly English-speaking staff and a wonderful fifth-floor terrace which was right outside our room and the kitchen. Fast elevator. Free water refills in the kitchen. Lovely light breakfasts 8-10am with a rotating menu every 4 days (we had eggs/ham, quesadillas, sandwiches, and pancakes, plus they always had unlimited bread/cereal/coffee and a nice beverage e.g. horchata). The room (we booked the extra-large through the website) was very clean (housekeeping came through a few times during our week-long stay), separate bathroom and shower. Quite economical in terms of spacing and no desk but comfortable. The window in the room faced into an inside courtyard but we felt comfortable leaving them open at night. Had a fan too but even with that off we were comfortable temperature-wise in late March. Laundry available on 5th floor, you ask the desk for tokens. They let us store our luggage after checkout too. The only downside is that the bar upstairs plays pretty loud music every night until around 11pm and it was especially loud on Friday/weekends. Bring earplugs!

There is a nice restaurant located on the terrace with a nice view of the metropolitan cathedral. The prices are affordable, the food and drinks are great, the staff is helpful and understanding.

Awful and inconsiderate. They blast obnoxious trance music from the rooftop until the early hours. Not only will you not sleep in the hostel, no one in the entire neighborhood will sleep before 2am due to the horrendously loud banging that vibrates across all surrounding buildings. There are much better hostels close by that treat guests and neighbors with respect.
