Casa Pancha, hotel in Mexico City

Set in Mexico City and with Chapultepec Castle reachable within 1.8 km, Casa Pancha offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

This is probably the coolest and most stylish hostel I've ever stayed at! Located in a prime spot within mexico city, easy to get around and just a short walk away from convenience stores, atm, street tacos etc. It was always a lovely stroll around the neighbourhood! Casa Pancha itself was great! With clean rooms, dorms with added privacy, staff were always so helpful and friendly. Daily activities and updates for all the guests staying there so you always know what's happening in town, or can find the best recommendations for food, shopping and events! It was only a short stay for me so I didn't take full advantage of all this place had to offer. I am definitely staying here on the next trip to Mexico City! Thank you!

The hostel is new and the owners are kind and lovely. To enter you need to go through the Taqueria, there is the elevator, which takes you to the 5th floor. It's clean and comfy. There is a fridge to keep your beverages or food cold and the hot water service works well ;)

    The hostel is amazingly clean, it looks great and I felt at home there. The kitchen is perfect to cook, and the space with the tables / sofa is perfect to both work, have its own space, or meet new people. So far this was the best hostel I’ve been to, a perfect balance between comfort, socialize and keep its safe zone. Will definitely come back ☀️

You have your privacy thanks to the bed that you can close, the area is safe. The best part is the style of the hotel, it’s very beautifully decorated

    I stayed in the 8(?) person dorm room. Excellent beds!! They’re in boxes with plenty of space inside for big backpacks too. Cute design too. Each bed has a lockable sliding door and a safe inside, sockets including usb, even internal shelving and a space to hang some shirts! There are also different light settings inside your box. It was a very nice little nook to get some R&R. The bathrooms were awesome too - best hostel bathrooms I think I’ve seen. Everything clean, hot water, good pressure, hair dryers too.

    The rooftop of the hostel is a charm! You can have a great view of the Mexico City and also do workout there. Also they provide a place for you to handwash and hang your clothes, which is a huge bonus point for long term budget travellers! There is locker in the room. Everything is very safe. The location is very accessible by bus and everything is nearby. They have free coffee in the morning. Nice to have a cup of coffee after your morning workout.
