THIS IS MY SECOND STAY AT THE HOSTEL, AND THE STAFF MEMBER DURING THE EVENING SHIFT, ANDRE I BELIEVE IS HIS NAME GIVES A VERY WIERD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT RUDE, NOT EXACTLY BAD. HE COMPLAINS TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE NEEDS TO DO, KEEP AN EYE ON THE FRONT DOOR, DO THE CHECK IN, SEE IF THE WATER TANK IS FULL.. ETC. HE HAS DONDE THIS TWICE WITH ME AND ITS NONSE. HE COMPLAINED TO ME THAT IT ITS MORE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO TAKE A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT THAN PAYING WITH CASH, ALSO COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE HAS TO DO. HE GIVES ALL THIS INFORMATION TO A CUSTOMER THAT ONLY WANTS TO CHECK IN AND GO TO SLEEP, IT SEEMS HE SHOULD BE COMPLAINING TO HIS MANAGER. I REALLY WILL CONSIDER STAYING SOMEWHERE ELSE ON MY NEXT TRIP TO MEXICO CITY BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE ARE OTHER HOSTELS AROUND WITH SAME PRICES AND LESS NONSENSE. TELL HIM TO STOP DOING THIS NONSE COMPLAINING.

Overcharged in my card
I booked my stay for some days and this app told me to pay a price(with taxes incluided) but they charged in my card much more than the app indicated me. So I went to asked why? A lady in the reception loudly told me that the app was wrong and that they dont care how much the app indicates to pay. So I was charged for more than my book says

Buen día, la experiencia fue mala, las fotos en las que se anuncian se muestran diferente, la habitación que me toco había un huésped que fumaba sustancias toxicas, aparte tenia un altar en una de las esquinas de la habitación el cual tenía diferentes accesorios y un tipo de incienso que tenía un olor muy olía, por lo que opté abandonar el lugar (no hice uso de las instalaciones), ya que íbamos dos personas y una era mujer, así que no quise exponer nuestra integridad, en mi experiencia no regreso jamás.

Las instalaciones son excelentes, así como la ubicación, es inmejorable, sin embargo considero que deben tener mas vigilancia para que no se fume dentro de los cuartos, al ser literas se afecta a todos. Sus colaboradores son muy amables pero deben mejorar el desayuno.
