Casa MX Alameda

The kitchen was extremely filthy with roaches. This was definitely not the place to try and get any kind of sleep as they would play weird techno music (not the cool kind of techno) starting very early in the morning, during the week and on weekends. Some of the employees were rude, and they would not talk to you when you would greet them in the morning or at night. Since the place is low budget you do get many interesting characters that stay there, also on a budget so you feel like you have to watch your belongings from thieves. I had a few low cost items stolen, they were inexpensive, but it wasn't the cost it was the act. The only good thing I could find about this place, is that I met some interesting people from different places. And that it wasn't too far from the subway, and one of the main *****s in the area. But I also met many people on budgets who were probably looking for help or some kind of come up. I definitely would never stay here again. Horrible experience.

The beds are good with full privacy curtains. They don’t include a private lamp however. The electrical outlet in my bunk was loose, so cords fell out too easily. Staff were very friendly. The kitchen and bar area need better signage. The neighbourhood is a bit seedy but I didn’t feel unsafe walking around and it’s not that far from downtown.

Very loud music played late at night. Impossible to sleep. They should mention it in their description until what time the music goes. The women at reception said it would be until 11 which is acceptable but it did not stop. If I had known, I would have been somewhere else.

It's a party hostel, nothing more, and the people going there are the shady sort. The place is filthy & desolate. COMFORT: The room itself seems fine in photos, but is poorly engineered. Your bed shakes violently every time someone steps within the 16-person room, which is quite often. You get woken up easily. LIGHT: The bed curtains are placed poorly, allowing a wide gap of bright light to enter as people enter the room between 10pm and 3am. Again, waking you up. NOISE: One night, the hostel hosted a party that started at 11:30pm, waking me up entirely. I have professional earplugs, and they were of no use. I also tried earphones & blasting music, but I could still hear them. Also, the hostel supposedly enforces silence from midnight onward, but all they do is say "shhhh" every now and then, but just allow conversation to continue. The sound echoes into your room, which has doors & windows open. HEAT: There is no AC nor fan in the room. Good luck in the Mexican heat. Instead, the door and windows are left open. You couldn't even close the doors if you wanted because you're never given a key, so you'd be locking everyone out. If you close your bed curtains to combat the noise/light issues, the heat issue just gets amplified.
