Instead of standard bunk beds, the dormitory rooms are subdivided into sections with private lockable closets, giving each guest a defined personal space. Private rooms with attached bathrooms are also available, and all rooms include fans and lockers. The hostel has non-smoking rooms throughout, plus a shared lounge with TV where guests gather nightly.

Bicycle rental and bike tours are offered on-site, along with a games room and live sport events shown in the common area. Daily housekeeping and laundry service (for an added price) keep the stay comfortable, and an airport shuttle is available for a fee. Guests can use the shared kitchen stocked with microwave, fridge and kitchenware, and relax in the garden, sun terrace, or picnic area.

The hostel sits on a pedestrian street just 1.1 km from Guadalajara's center, a seven-block walk to the main square and Guadalajara Cathedral. Morelos Park and Centros Joyeros are also within walking distance, and Guadalajara Airport is 20 km away. Public transport tickets can be arranged at the tour desk, and express check-in/check-out is available.

A continental breakfast is included in the rate and served each morning. The shared kitchen is equipped for self-catering, with essential cookware and space for dry goods in the fridge. Several guest reviews note the breakfast is a big plus and that the kitchen is well-stocked.
