Hostal Punto 79

San Miguel de Allende


This centrally located spot is the best hostel in town (though that's not saying much!). The dorm rooms are segregated for male and female guests and are a decent place to bed down. Private rooms are less impressive. There are few facilities (and no breakfast), but it's a good place to meet other travelers.
