Massiosare El Hostal

We're a low key hostel in the center of Mexico City (CDMX), and we've been doing this for about 10 years. Our volunteers are a really important part of the hostel, because of the skills you bring, and because you help set the tone for others as well - most of our volunteers are still in contact with us in some way or another and leave feeling like this is their 2nd home in Mexico. The hostel is on the 4th floor (no elevator though :( ) and we have beautiful spacious areas - the rooftop is usually the favorite spot to hang out (not a 360 view, but close to 280). Our staff is cool and most are from CDMX - which means they're really good at helping you figure out what to do + practice SP or ENG.

We try our best to make you feel like you're at home, but also give you independence to live your personal journey in CDMX. Mental health is super important to take care of and because we're such a small staff (~12), we support each other - if needed and comfortable for the person (not overbearing). Generally, we also focus on personal growth and try to work with everyone to at least help a bit in that journey. This also means that the volunteers who have the best experience are also those who are able to independant within the guidelines/plans we provide, and keep communication open. Respect is so important, especially now with COVID-19, and you can expect that we'll listen to you and support you in the ways we can, if you're not vibing with your volunteer experience :)

Esther was incredibly kind and understanding! I hurt my foot during my stay and could barely walk and the team let me take the time to care for it (Btw the hostel is up 4 flights of stairs). I would recommend this hostel and I’d love to come again!

I can definitely recommend Massiosare Hostel as a worldpackers experience! The volunteers and the staff that I got to know were great. Esther is flexible with scheduling, I had a few unexpected things come up and she was very supportive with those issues. Cassandra is also a very kind staff member who helped me go to the doctor with a Spanish-speaking volunteer when I got extremely sick. The work is fun and easy, and there are clear checklists to follow. My favorite thing about the hostel is that they are always trying to improve and they are open to feedback from guests. Miss them already! :)

Massiosare El Hostal was lovely! The people are so friendly and helpful, management is easily accessible if you need anything. The hostel itself is very clean and organized with plenty of spaces to hang out. I served the breakfast in the morning and loved being able to interact with the guests. There were 3 other volunteers and was a quieter environment. The work is very straightforward and the hours are exactly as agreed upon. Mexico City is huge but the hostel is in a great location to walk, Uber, or take public transportation to most places. I highly recommend this place to see the city!
