We were on our way to Mexico City and its surroudings but our car had mechanical problems and we had to stop in Zacatecas... at first I hated it, but it ended up being one of our best trips ever! I can't believe how beautiful and unique this city is... a complete gem! If you come to Mexico you can't miss it!

Best hostel ever!!
This hostel is a wonder! It's located in the heart of Zacatecas, just behind the cathedral, you can't miss it! The view from the balconies at night is simply breathtaking. You will feel like you travelled back in time. You can see most of Zacatecas beautiful churches lit up at night, the Bufa Hill and the convents as well.

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! They took us to tours to the Corona Factory and La Quemada archeological site for ridiculously cheap prices. One time they even cooked lunch for us.

The dorms are ok, not the most fancy ever, but clean and comfortable. The noise level is tolerable. The bathroom is kinda small and sometimes they don't have hot water, but who cares if you go during a hot month.

Over all is this the best hostel I've ever been to, and I'm proud that it's in one of my favorite cities in Mexico. 100% recommended!!!
