On a quiet residential side street in Chapultepec, this low-key hostel has pretty much everything a backpacker requires: two spotless eight-bed dorms, 10 private rooms, a hammock-filled garden, communal kitchen, free bikes, internet and wi-fi, its own bar open Wednesday to Saturday, and cheap places to eat within stumbling distance.
There are plenty of traveler-related services, and inhouse events include bar crawls and barbecues. Discounts for IH card holders.
