Karimi France

the hosts were incredibly helpful. i loved that the hostel organized several daily events to make it easy to meet other travelers and make friends. the location is right down the street from la plaza mayor and was a 20 minute walk or less to amazing museums and parks. the property was also air conditioned which made it comfortable to stay in and made the heat wave bearable.

Mariandrea Saudi Arabia

I LOVED The Hat. It is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed at. When I had a concern about a roommate, they switched my room---no charge at all. Breakfast was wonderful; I recommend buying it. Steve at the front desk was also so, so helpful. Nothing but wonderful things at The Hat.

Theia United States of America

The Hat is located very central and it was east to walk to all the attractions or take the nearby metro. The rooftop bar is great. My friend and I also participated in the organized bar crawl which was awesome and it was a great chance to meet others!

Angelina United States of America

Mariandrea Saudi Arabia

The location was perfect, there is a daily free city tour starting at 11 at the location of 2 min walk from the hostel which was super convenient; Staff was really helpful. Would definitely stay there again :)
