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.

The atmosphere at the hostel was friendly and nice, the rooftop terrace super cozy and cocktails were great, a perfect hub to chill out and relax. The suite room was super cozy and large and spacious and very clean. The staff was very helpful and kind. Perfect location.

Friendly staff, I was surprised that it was also quiet for a hostel. I was in a private room with small balcony. Very affordable.

Staff was often very occupied, so it took quite some time to do the check-in and this was also the case with check-out.
It is a nice party hostel, close to the bus station and nice restaurants and bars. The activities organized are nice to get to know others staying at the hostel better. Rooms are clean and beds are quite comfortable, with curtains and electricity outlets.

The bigger dorm rooms are right beside the kitchen/lounge area where loud people tend to hang out til late. The dorm bunk beds are pretty flimsy and quite uncomfortable. The bathrooms/showers are outside, across the garden.
Nice friendly staff.

10min to city Center, during a day is fine but at night not really The breakfast was ok but poor- coffe/tea, fruits and cornflakes+ some tortillas with beans. I do not like extra paid option (if you want eggs- you need to pay, the same with juice etc)
Clean, nice atmosphere but a little bit noisy when you want to sleep ealier Really nice staff

I had a great stay at Azul Cielo. The place is beautiful, the free breakfast was delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful - especially Marty who helped me book tickets to Mexico City, gave me a box to send my stuff home and let me interview him about the Day of the Dead celebrations in the city even though he was very busy ! I’ll be sure to stay here again when I’m back !

Staff prepared breakfast everyday. Cereal, toast, tea, coffee, fruit, and a warm local dish as well. They could adjust the meal if you have any restrictions. There is one long wooden table to eat on so it's easy to socialize with people especially when you travel alone. They cleaned the dining area/kitchen after breakfast so it was always clean. There is always music on, good music, for ambiance.
