Ideal location! Staff was amazing! Room was great, very charming. We had the room with the single king size bed and I do recomend it. 15 foot roof, no room on the left, no room on the right, no room in diagonals, no room on top, no room bellow. You are right in the center touristic district yet have the most privacy and liberty of doing what you want knowing you won't disrupt anyone. Removed a star for the room because there is no window, and door could be better soundproofed.
this place is super pretty loved the patio and the friendly hosts! we stayed for one night in a private room downstairs and it had everything needed. The bed is big, full of pillows and super comfy and also the bathroom is just perfect. We had a ventilator, water bottles and shampoo. Enjoyed it so much and would come back 100%
Friendly staff, beautiful sitting area. Stayed at the 10-bed mixed room and it was nice, no AC but at the night it cools down. There's lockers for your backpacks and other belongings. Very safe! And the best location!
Amazing hostel located in the center of San Miguel. Everything you need is at walking distance. The hotel always has staff at front desk that will love to help you. Great people. Location is mostly hotel rooms but also has hostel part for backpackers. Thank you for having us!
The hotel Punto 79 is a great place that is located only a block from the main Centro square for a very reasonable price! Very clean & our king-sized bed was a memory foam.
Nice quiet patio cafe with artistic touches and lovely plants. Perfect place to take refuge from the bustle and noise of Mesones street. Good selection of teas and coffees. A nice place to while away an hour or two, reading or just chilling out. I recommend the Matcha green tea latte.
Location, price! Were my first check list points that I was looking for on my trip to San Miguel. I was very impressed by the bed accommodations, it’s rare on trips that I take where the bed is Amazingly comfortable. So it’s a yes yes n yes. Communication is the key and the staff was very responsive to any concerns or questions I had with my stay. If you’re a night life person then this is the place for you, it may get a little loud n rowdy with a crowd and music on the weekends.
Loved the hostel! Great staff and easy to change the dates of a reservation due to some change of plans. You are in the middle of everything in SMA when staying here.
Surrounded by bars and restaurants, this laid-back hostel is a 3-minute walk from Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramírez El Nigromante and a 4-minute walk from the majestic La Parroquia San Miguel de Allende (historic church).
