The Roof Backpackers Hostel (Hostal) - 44160 Guadalajara

It was generally good, the breakfast was simple (coffee, cereal, milk, yogurt, tea, juice, fruit) but was a plus anyways, there's a kitchen if you want to cook anything else. The place is nice and cozy and fairly close to downtown, about five blocks away from Av. Juarez. They have wi-fi, an available computer if you need it, and a TV in the dinning room, also a nice rooftop with a grill. They are a bit disorganized with the rooms and may move you around. I had to stay in a freshly painted room for one night (the paint smell was very strong) and then they moved me to a different room. The receptionists attitude could be better.

Better beds than most and friendly staff. Everything is cleaned everyday and the place feels comfortable. The layout is a bit quirky but there is space on the roof to hangout with other travelers.

good location but staff not friendly, breakfast very poor. I do not recommend to stay here. The staff does not have a smile on there face and when you ask them something they are not eager to help. especially the girl who does not speak one word of english. I also recommend them to buy new kitchen equipment beceause they are very old and dirty. Also they should install a light on the roof.

I'll start with the good thing: the beds are good. They are big and comfortable. The staff was very bad, I had a bad experience. For example when I came back late 12:30 i had no key and the staff wouldn't open the door for me without me paying. They wouldn't accept me to pay the next day, and they hold my passport and didn't agree to give it back. I think it's illegal. The staff was not nice either and I'm not the only one who felt that way. Not recommending

Great spot to just pass view and rest or meet new people from around the world. Professionals, students, and traveling vacationers. It's big. Plenty of options. Dorms, rooms, and single rooms. Staff is great. Right in the middle everything. In all directions.. been there multiple times.. will return eventually. Recommend if you want to travel in a big group.

Staff very friendly, very relaxing place and clean. Was just hoping for more of a hostel feel

Was OK. Me and only one other guest in 8 room dormitory. Clean kitchen. Cold and hot filtered water. Good view from the roof. There was no light. So at night ...

I was only planning on staying for one night here and ended up staying here for 14 days in April 2022. I checked out of the Hilton due to the lack of sleep from how loud it was nearby all night and a staff member suggested this place. Pay in person for heavy discount he said and he was correct ;) I feel I have a true a recent relevant experience of this place. Some reviews say the staff are unfriendly and this NOT TRUE! (Maybe old staff?) The man working reception gave me an introduction to the place upon checking in and it was better than The Hilton’s. He took his time explaining the hostels kitchen, private rooftop terrace, fresh filtered water station(HUGE money saver), the showers looked clean, as were the sheets. They have EXCELLENT maps inside with pictures : descriptions. I’ve been across the world. And I think I’m done with expensive over-rated hotels. He offered several room options to me. This place is 3 floors and BIG. I decided to get a private room and came home to a fresh made bed everyday. One day I left and ran back forgetting something and the lady was giving her all scrubbing the walls, mopping the floor and obviously giving good care to my belongings. They offer laundry service and somehow got rid of a stains that I’d had on certain dress shirts and shorts for months.. how was that even possible… Not sure if I’m forgetting much but I nearly never review but this place in its current state deserves 5 stars, if you want a quiet super central area to many bars and wonderful restaurants you can really get deep into the Guadalajara culture from here. Ooooh they offer TONS OF TOURS that pick you up directly from outside the door
