This laid-back hostel near the UNAM campus has six neatly kept four- or two-bed rooms sharing three Talavera-tiled bathrooms. The downstairs bar of the same name is a popular hangout for university students, though was closed for remodeling when we visited. It's tucked away off Privada Ezequiel Ordoñes. Monthly deals are available.
