The staff members are friendly. This is clearly a “social” hostel that anyone can make new friends all over the world. I live in a mixed room and all my roommates are polite and respectful. Events happen everyday so even if you don't want to plan your trip, you can enjoy the city quite easily.

I stayed at Viajero for a week in a 12-bed dorm Overall, it's an amazing hostel - one of the best I've stayed at. Highlights: - The building is beautiful - it's one of those 2-storey Latin American buildings with an open courtyard in the middle - The rooms and showers are clean, the kitchen is usually clean but could do with being checked a bit more often - It's a great social experience. The open courtyard makes it very easy to hang out and chat to people - The staff are very helpful and super friendly. A special thanks to the amazing and charming Brenda, who checked up on me each day after I got sick and after I said the A/C in the room was too cold Lowlights: - The dorm was too cold because the A/C was set too cold (the staff control it, not the guests). 24° was OK, anything lower than that was too cold - They tell you the coffee is "free", like it says on the sign outside, but then you discover that you actually have to pay 50 pesos ($2.40) for it during breakfast hours (8am to 11am) - For sure, I bet this makes great money for the hostel, but for the guests, it's just annoying... The coffee is just basic brew coffee from a big metal urn. It should be free at all hours. - They need to invest in ceramic cups. They have a limited number of metal cups, but the rest are plastic. This is not good and not safe for drinking hot drinks. E.g. the coffee from the urn is super hot, so it's going to melt the plastic into your drink

Well situated

It's a very social hostel with an active and busy bar/courtyard, so expect noise until around 11pm Other than that, really comfortable beds, hot showers in a superb central location

I will admit the area is not very practically in the sense of tourist attractions like main museums, cocktail bars, restaurants, soccer games. But it’s well worth it for the vibes, friendly people, cheap street food . There’s a few attractions nearby that are pretty cool as well. The staff and volunteers are amazing. Very friendly, social and always want to do things. There are free and paid activities and tours every day. The beds are comfy and the rooms are fairly quiet given it being a social hostel but quiet hours begin at 11pm so no need to worry about late night partying, people usually go out afterwards.

The beds are very comfortable and for the most part the rooms are fairly quiet considering it being a social Hostal. The washrooms and showers are clean. The staff and volunteers are amazing. Extremely helpful , fun and willing to do things. I will admit this is probably not the best location as most things require a 30-45min metro ride away like museums, tourist attractions and certain restaurants. But the decision to stay in a social and friendly hostel totally surpassed the travelling required. I know a few people who switch hostels and came back for the vibes and friendships. The hostel has activities every day, paid tours or free activities. Very much recommend.
