This hostel is located on the main square, we stayed in a basic double which was only 290 pasos a night, small room with a fan and comfy bed. Breakfasts are good! Women's showers and toilets are ok, men's not as good (no door on the toilet) worth the money!

Good location but when we got there they tried to charge us for breakfast even though it says it's included, so it doesn't work out good value. Showers were cold, people smoke inside.

Nice hostel in a fantastic location with helpful & pleasant staff. The rooms overlooking the Zocalo have awesome balconies, and a great place to sit in the evenings.

Easily the best breakfast I have had included at a hostel, with loads of fruit, cereals, bread and pancakes on offer!! The staff are friendly, if a little disorganised (missing bookings are not unusual) and the building itself is beautiful (an old colonial mansion on the square), also the location is perfect. Rooms are fine, some smaller than others, those... More

Beautiful old colonial house on the main plaza. If you get a room at the front you have a balcony that overlooks the main square, which is really pretty, and the price is really cheap. Jonathan, one of the managers, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Like others say, the reason we chose Zocalo was because the breakfast... More

This hostel is within the square of Zocalo itself. It's a beautiful old house that's just magnificent! Spacious loungy areas, good wifi, friendly managers, phone & travel agent service downstairs. The best thing about this place has got to be the huge breakfast that comes with the price! Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

....I arrived 5 AM in this hostel and the lovely man ( I forgot his name I'm afraid, he was also the cook) who received me was very helpful and considerate. I booked for two nights in a dorm room but decided to upgrade to a private room so as not to disturb the other occupants in the room and... More

A beautiful hostel, clean, friendly staff and an amazing free breakfast in the morning. The price is slightly more than we have been paying at other hostels but the breakfast spread in the morning makes up for it. Great wi-fi signal and hot water! I would definitely reccomend it!

I can only endorse what others have said. This is a friendly, warm hearted place to stay. The breakfast is worth the room hire alone. The staff are friendly, always smile. The rooms are clean, the water is hot, what more could a traveller want! Can I also recommend their other hotel, in Progresso??? Slightly out of town, will take... More
