ximena's is awful. crappy beds, dirty bathrooms, no fans, no window screens. how did this place get on this website? i changed hostels after two nights of misery. the place i found is just a couple blocks away - it's called La Almohada. it's on Calle Berlin, next to Cafe Luna. much better plus it's only $7 per night. more
