Pros: Spacious rooms, impeccably clean, good beds and pillows, great breakfasts (coffee, cereal, eggs, fruit, yogurt,etc), nice little pond and courtyard, nice terrace especially around sunset, located near the markets and zocalo so easy walking to most places, super hot showers (although you have to let the water run for a while). Cons: No airflow in the rooms (and no... More

We didn't really spend much time in the hostel. But we were happy with the excellent laundry service, clean rooms, hot shower, big breakfast and friendly personnel who answered our questions. There is a free internet access. We also liked the possibility to store our luggage for a day before leaving on the nightbus.

We stayed here for 2 nights in January. It was a private room and although bare bones, it was clean and spacious. Our problem was the bathrooms - only one of the female showers had hot water and the toilets were not often cleaned. The male bathroom showers were not much better, one had a door missing, so basically unusable... More

The place is clean, the breakfasts are pretty good and has free internet access all for a very low cost. There is also a rooftop area where you can get a 360 view of the city. Purchase beer at the front desk fridge and drink those beers on the rooftop after a long day of walking around the city. The... More

Really clean but nothing more. Atmosphere like in an hospital. I was really disappointed because the guy at the reception sold me a tour for two times the normal price. I asked him if it was the cheapest but he probably preferred to receive his commission. I personnaly hate this way of doing business.

We stayed at Hostal Paulina for four nights in December. Our room was very clean, though spartan (they could use mattresses and pillows!). The facility itself was very nice, and the breakfasts that are included are hearty and delicious, making it a real bargain. Be sure to go up to the roof for great views and sunshine. It's located just... More

It is located near the centre, the stuff is ok, though I don't know if they speak English. The breakfast is very good and quite generous.The place is very nice (the female dormitory I stayed in was spacious and there was enough natural light) and generally very clean, bathrooms included. The only problem I experienced was the hot water -... More

Centrally located and very clean, this hostel had its pros and cons. Pros included: nice location, roomy private room, great breakfast and nice rooftop to take in the view. Cons included: no private bathroom or tv, noisy on the street level, no kitchen or refrigerator access. There are plenty of hotels in the area, and maybe you can get more... More

I stayed in this hostel by the end of September and had the worst experience ever. My things got stolen from the locker room and the staff was terrible while looking for help, they just kept saying that the were not responsible and nothing could be done.
