Located 3.1 km from National Cinematheque, Cozy Private Room offers a shared lounge, a garden and accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

Frida Kahlo House Museum is 3.4 km from Cozy Private Room, while The Angel of Independence is 6 km away. The nearest airport is Benito Juarez International Airport, 13 km from the accommodation.

The house is in a nice, safe and quiet neighborhood. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and tidy. Alexander, the young man in charge of the place is a helpful and cooperative lad. You can reach him through Whatsapp if you need extra information. The location is excellent, three blocks away from the Metro stations “Eugenia” and “División Norte”. There are several shops nearby where you can buy an OXXO sim card to be used while you are in Mexico, if you are a foreigner. In about 5 minutes you can walk to the closest Sanborns for breakfast or other meal: a good restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere and service. It even has an INBURSA Bank ATM inside. However, there are lots of different places to eat and drink in the area, including the local market called “24 de Agosto”, within walking distance via Anaxágoras street. The supermarket SORIANA is also nearby. "Esperanza", an excellent bakery on Avenida Cuautehmoc offers a variety of breads and "tostadas", the crispy corn tortillas. And for the ladies who like to look well all the time, there are plenty of hairdressers in the area. I would definitely stay there again, when I go back to CDMX.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I stayed in the 8(?) person dorm room. Excellent beds!! They’re in boxes with plenty of space inside for big backpacks too. Cute design too. Each bed has a lockable sliding door and a safe inside, sockets including usb, even internal shelving and a space to hang some shirts! There are also different light settings inside your box. It was a very nice little nook to get some R&R. The bathrooms were awesome too - best hostel bathrooms I think I’ve seen. Everything clean, hot water, good pressure, hair dryers too.

Also they provide a place for you to handwash and hang your clothes, which is a huge bonus point for long term budget travellers! There is locker in the room. Everything is very safe.
