I love this hostel!!! It is a little bit off the beating path. It is super clean, the beds are comfortable, great social vibe, great staff and the breakfast is amazing.

Beds we're comfortable. Plug and light next to the bed we're great. Lockers are available! The kitchen could be a little bit better equipped but it was alright. The ambiance was just very nice. Supermarket close by and the center was 5 blocks away!

My friend and I stayed in a private room with 2 beds, and private bathroom. Very good value with the included breakfast. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the Zocalo. Not the most interesting area right near the hostel but just a short walk to restaurants, historic buildings, and the main plaza. The hostel is a great place to meet other travelers. Helpful staff. I would stay here again.

The staff was incredibly welcoming and I especially enjoyed the company of the barman Ruben upstairs. Breakfast was always excellent! You get fresh fruit and coffee plus something different from the kitchen. The garden, design and featured artwork were all super cool. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend :)

This hostel is like a little oasis in a concrete city. They had the best breakfast I think I've had at any hostel before, with a rotating dish each morning. There's lots of areas to relax and meet other travellers, and the kitchen is decently equipped for cooking your own meals. I recommend the 4 bedroom girls dorm, as it had the most luxe bunk beds.

Very clean well run hostel. Nice morning breakfast was included; the small upper level bar overlooked the courtyard and was very welcoming and served great mezcal margaritas. Could be lively there until quiet time at 11 pm. Staff arranged tours and bus reservations, called cabs efficiently and cheerfully, and were very flexible about arrangements. Great for solo travelers. Definitely recommend this place!

Really liked that the room had a small desk an separate area for the bathroom. The common areas were really inviting and people staying were friendly. Staff was always very helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at this little hostel, and I would not hesitate to come back. Everything was just perfect: the delicious breakfast, the spotless clean room with a super comfortable bed, and the character of the place and communal areas. I must also mention staff - I can't thank them enough for all their help and care. A special thank you to Marty and Fatima for the warm welcome and support throughout our stay!

Only two toilets and showers although I rarely waited and never for long. The fourth bunk in the room makes it a little cramped, but not too bad.
Provided filtered water, a delicious brekkie and dorm was fresh and airy. The rooftop was great and the general vibe of the hostel was really nice.

No secure area to store luggage prior to check in. Staff a bit hit and miss, some were friendlier than others.
Nice welcome after a night bus. Female dorm beds were really comfortable, nice to have privacy curtains and plug/light. Wifi was good in the dorm, pretty quiet at night. I only stayed one night but seemed to be a nice vibe in the hostel. I will stay here again.

I really liked Azul Cielo. I had originally booked for 2 nights and was happy with rate for a room with bathroom. When I needed yo cancel one night, however it wouldn't let me rebook the same room so I had to book the most expensive room which was a suite which cost $20 more per night. That's why I didn't check high on "good value" above.
I liked the breakfast, the kitchen, the ambiance and the staff.

Many people here in the reviews complaint about the hostel’s location. I loved the location! It’s a little outside the noisy and touristy streets of the center but everything is walkable and there are some small and lovely shops and restaurants very nearby. Moreover, every detail at this hostel is made with love and the breakfast is really good!

Too much music being played. But then this is hostel. So that is to be expected. That would be the only reason I would not book here again.

The wall next to my bed had a brown smudge. It looked gross. Other than that it was a great stay. Breakfast could be eggs instead of pancakes. I need more than carbs fro breakfast

Even though most of the staff was very nice and helpful, one employee kept misinforming us on issues regarding payment, tours, times etc. it had a really negative impact on our stay as we ended up spending a lot of extra money due to the wrongful information and bad attitude!
The hostel is very nice and has a cute courtyard and a nice bar. The rooms are spacious, but a little noisy. The bathroom is clean and the breakfast is a nice touch!

Tiny sink located outside of the bathroom, and no counter space (bring your hanging toiletry bag). The room was on the second floor facing the street, and the occasional buses going by were loud, and a nearby bar played heavy metal music til midnight on one night; bring your earplugs.
My friend and I stayed in a private room with 2 beds, and private bathroom. Very good value with the included breakfast. Location is about a 15 minute walk to the Zocalo. Not the most interesting area right near the hostel but just a short walk to restaurants, historic buildings, and the main plaza. The hostel is a great place to meet other travelers. Helpful staff.
