Discover the Best Budget Hostels and Hotels to Book in Mexico City

If you’re looking for a budget stay in Mexico City, the aptly-named Mexico City Hostel will tick the box. Dorms here feature classic bunk beds, but the rooms are still surprisingly spacious, with large windows and doors that open out onto the lively streets of the Centro Historico or into the peaceful surrounds of the hostel’s inner patios and courtyard. The hostel organizes budget tours to Mexico City’s best sights too, so you can sightsee and socialize on a budget.

Hostel Regina is the place to stay if you like your dorms to be stylish and colorful. The hostel is located within a completely remodeled and redesigned colonial-era building, just a few streets away from the Zocalo in Centro Historico. You’ll love the constantly changing artwork that fills the lobby, corridors and bedrooms. Head to the rooftop bar in the evening, where you can hang out with travelers while sampling local mezcals.

Bored of dormitories? Book into Hotel Castropol, where you’ll find private hotel rooms at an excellent price. Hotel Castropol has a fantastically central location, with Mexico City’s Zocalo located just five blocks over from the hotel. Rooms at the Hotel Castropol have enough beds and space for up to four people, so this is a great option for couples and small groups of friends looking for privacy – all at hostel prices.

The Hotel MX Congreso, just a 20-minute walk from the Centro Historico, is the perfect choice for budget travelers looking for an upgrade. The Hotel MX Congreso offers private rooms with a supreme level of comfort, given the budget prices.

Love the chill vibes of Roma Norte? Check into Hostel Home, where Mexico City’s original backpacker hostel offers community, art, home cooking and a budget dorm bed. This solo-traveler favorite is located within a colorful colonial-style building in Roma Norte, and you’re just a short walk from art galleries and quirky cafes in the surrounding neighborhood. Hostel Home is more like a house than a hostel, and that’s because they want to be your new home in Mexico City.

Hostal La Encantada is one of the best budget hostels in Mexico City’s Coyoacan district. It’s located in a historic part of the city, just a short stroll from the Frida Kahlo Museum, the Leon Trotsky Museum, and plenty of lively cantinas and mercados.
