kitchen

A really nice place to stay! Ricardo (the owner) was always friendly with my friends and I. He was also asking if everything was alright.
The kitchen and the rooms were in good conditions as well.
I would definitely stay in this hostel again, and I really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a warm, cheap, and comfortable place to sleep.

Good place

The place is clean and feel free like home to stay. The manager is helping me to get some information of San Miguel. You can walk around to the handcraft market and traditional market. History area is not that far as well.

Lovely Stay

I have stayed 3nights there and the only words the owner used to say to me were "are u staying his night as well? Could u pay?"... not even another word or a smile or a welcome tour. He even didnt metion where the toilet were and if we could use the kitchen..
He also should clean: there was a dirty pot in the kitchen for 2 days!
Kitchen is ok. They have washig machine but not for guests.
Location is ok..

Unfriendly service..

I waited about 45 minutes for Ricardo to return to the hostel- its his house, so if you dont book in advance you might not catch him- and he acted like it was my fault he returned from somewhere to let me in. No hello, how are you, welcome or im sorry I kept you waiting.
Very standoffish the entire time. Made no effort to say hello or know anything about me.
One morning I needed to go to the bank to get money and asked if I could pay when I returned. With a very confused face he said yes. He wasnt around for me to give him the cash when I came back in the afternoon. So at about 11pm when I was upstairs on the patio chatting with another guest he comes up and says "do you have the money?" Nothing else, not even a thankyou.

Yes this is the cheapest hostel in San Miguel. But i couldnt not stand the rudeness so i left. There are heaps of great cheap hostels in Mexico with breakfast and a friendly face- this one was worst Id stayed in in a while.

Positive-
Wifi- all hostels in SMA have it though. Its a clean bed. Can use the kitchen.

Negative-
I was in the 6 bed girls dorm- its fine. No toilet paper, neither was the rubbish emptied while I was there. No cleaning whatsoever. Felt weird using the kitchen because he never offered or explained that I could, but other people were. Ricardo was never around when i needed- to get in or to pay. Very negative attitude. Maybe he had a bad few days- but he owns a hostel- sorry but thats your job to at least pretend to smile for your guests. Make sure to book on Hostelbookers- 119 pesos- he asked for 125 in cash without a booking. (If you are really trying to save your pesos)

Unfriendly no frills just a bed

We were NOT happy with our stay at this hostel (which is actually just a few rooms in the owners' house). We had booked it a good 10 months in advance and paid extra to book out the additional bed in the four-bed room downstairs for my sister and her two friends. When we arrived, the owners were quite cold and told us that our rooms were not ready, so we left and returned later, only to find two extra girls in the downstairs bedroom and an additional bed shoved in the corner to accommodate the five of them! To make matters, the girls told us that they'd been promised the room to themselves for the entire month!

Our room was on the upper floor and was decent enough. The shared bathroom was quite small and had a faulty toilet when we were there, which was not a great thing for my husband's food poisoning!  
 Perhaps because we put them out from the start, the owners just weren't very friendly to us for our entire stay. They were very standoffish, and weren't interested in speaking to us at all.  Seeing as how we'd specifically booked this placed based on the positive reviews about their friendliness, we were not impressed by their attitudes! On one particular occasion we returned pleasantly tipsy from a lunch of food and tequila to a frosty Ricardo, who latter gossiped about our intoxicated state to the two girls (completely inappropriate!).  We had the same treatment for the rest of our 24hr stay.    Even though the location is great, I'd find somewhere else, if I were you.
