Ekko Hostel

Los cantos de la noche

Ekko es un volver a casa siempre se siente la hermandad muchas gracias por todo a todos 🫂🙏🏼✌🏼

Todo fue bueno

Comfortable and separate beds, the lovely staff and completely stocked kitchen were real highlights. They are always putting on some event or get-together to welcome people in. There's a small store, cafe and fantastic volunteers. Place to store food in the fridge was available although limited and there is plenty of space for camping (RV/trailer or tent) on the property. Hot water and water pressure in the room was fantastic! Everyone was respectful of quiet hours when we stayed and staff gave recommendations on what to see/do in the area. Luckily the works they're doing to improve the property didn't begin until around 9am, so we were always able to get a great night's rest! Very safe place with a code-locked gate, would be helpful to post a photo in the listing of what the entrance to the property looks like, a small dirt road/driveway right next to a restaurant but not in the complex to the left, rather the other side to the right. Amazing views of the mountains, although sadly like much of México, many trails are inaccessible or advised as unsafe/difficult without a guide (I can confirm this as someone quite experienced in hiking and mountaineering in many countries/environments, having gotten semi-lost in the forest trying to follow my own topographic/GPS maps with trails that don't exist or have been re-located). This obviously isn't a reflection on the hostel, but we were sad to find out the only real "hike" you can do on your own was to Tepozteca and that required a 210 peso entry fee🫠🙃 the hostel does offer to set you up with a guided group hike, which when we visited was starting from ~300 pesos per person but no idea where to.

The room we stayed in (UFO) was very hard to get air circulated in. There was only one standing fan, and the way the outlets are set up in the room didn't allow it to be placed in front of the window to pull fresh air in. I'd suggest the hostel invest in some extension cords and an additional fan to help this.. The setup of the room also didn't allow the single bed a convenient place to charge devices.The location is near a street, so you'll hear some street noise and the city awaken around 6-8am.

El personal siempre con muy buena onda

Lugar es muy panaromico
