Good Option for a Cheap and Convenient Place
My stay here was good. The staff was super friendly and helpful if I had any questions; when I checked in the guy at the reception offered some suggestions of places to check out. I had a single ensuite room which was nice. It was nothing fancy but was great for what I needed. The room had no AC (it did have a fan) but luckily at night it was pretty cool so wasn't an issue. They're doing a lot of road work in the immediate area so it's not the greatest right now but the hostel is a quick 15-min walk to the historic area which makes it pretty convenient. There didn't seem to be a lot of socializing among guests so if you're looking for a place to meet others and hang out, might not be the best option. The place was good for what I needed but it's nothing fancy; you get what you pay for.

Affordable, convenient, well-run
Reception was flexible in checking us in when we arrived late in the evening. The included breakfast was simple but a good start to the day. Very close to downtown and various restaurants; however, located about a block inside a rough neighbourhood, so be careful.

Not bad location to stay for wandering around popular spots of Guanajuato. Although there's a difficulty communicating in English, staff are kind and helpful. It's clean inside and seemingly well secured.

One of many budget options
Overall my stay at hostel lit was good. The staff was always ready to cater to any of your needs. The common areas were spacious,cleanw equiped with fully functional kitchen,clanke flat screen tv, comfy furniture to sit and lounge in. Great airy rooftop terrance with nice views of city. I stayed in a simple double room which worked but found it to be quite dusty and while we had access to a balcony with nice street views, it was nearly impossible to sleep with the windows open as the 24/7 busy traffic made it quite noisy. The price included nice touches like wifi,free continental breakfast. In my opinion the hostel has some areas to work on,but overall good place to stay and would stay there again.
