“Mexico Hostel stands out for its remarkably kind staff and incredibly clean facilities, especially the restrooms and showers; plus, its central location makes city attractions easily walkable. While breakfast isn't included, the rooftop's diverse restaurants offer a vibrant, albeit pricier, dining scene. I think that it's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers prioritizing location and cleanliness.”
