Pictures could be more accurate. But for the price it was all good. I was a solo traveller and only spent 1 night so I had no issues.
Lovely staff!

It doesn’t have the private curtains of nicer hostels, but it’s good value in a good location. The kitchen closes too early (8 pm).

Staff gave me an excellent recommendation on where to get a massage at Manthra Day Spa, located within Casa del Cine, just around the corner. Then I enjoyed a fine meal in the upscale restaurant located within Hotel Punto MX nearby. Great location, and I enjoyed their free library.

The bed are extremely uncomfortable, they have a ridiculous amount of rules that they don’t explain, no elevator plus they don’t show you where your room is located, kitchen closes at 8pm, they have no soap in the facility so everyone uses the restroom without washing theirs hands, weird people, no real common area, and someone sold my Puma slides.

Amigo Hostel blamed me for not cleaning the kitchen well enough. The funny thing ia that I cleaned up after two OTHER guests. This meant nothing to the hotel staff. In a show of pettiness, the staff took away MY kitchen access. One staff member got in my face, touched me and my coffee cup. All I wanted to do was heat up some water in the microwave...which was already being used by someone else. It When I removed the staff's hand from my property, nothing happened. Another fuest heated water fir me.
The next day, front desk staff chose to call the Police! I am fine with being refused service for any reason. It is a civil matter and, to tell the truth, I don't really care. I don't want to stay where the staff are overbearing, can't admit a mistake, and don't even want me. How silly! I had a laugh with the Cops outside, too. This same hotel called the Police on a guest whose key snapped into two pieces when he turned it in the door lock.This hotel has a toxic culture.

I made a reservation to only sleep 4 hours, I arrived at 4:30 am and I wanted to stay until 9:00 am. The people at the reception only accepted cash for the reservation and I did not have any, because of that I booked online through Expedia and when I showed them the reservation they told me that they could not let me in because check-in was until 3:00pm

I did not like it that the expedia page for Hostel Amigos had that private-looking room with beds and that after paying and receiving the affirmation if one scrolls down a four-bed (two bunkbeds) dormitory was described. I was not happy. Last night was very bad as two more women had come in and the one above me found all kinds of things to do and noise to make throughout the night.
