We only ended up staying one night at U-Co Roma Coliving due to a few challenges during our stay. Our room was unfortunately quite dirty when we arrived. The sheets had stains and the room smelled musty. There was also a significant plumbing issue happening in the building at the time, which meant there was no water across the facilities. That made it difficult to use both the kitchen and bathrooms.
We were also a bit unlucky with room placement. Our room was the only one directly off the main living area, so noise from the common space made it very difficult to sleep.
That said, there were some positives. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating. He allowed us to store our luggage before check-in, which we really appreciated after arriving in the city. The coworking space looked cool and like it could be a great setup for remote workers. However, there are no private call booths or separate areas for taking calls if you need quiet for meetings. The host also refunded the nights we did not stay, which was a very fair and thoughtful gesture.
Overall, we unfortunately had a tough experience due to the cleanliness and plumbing issues, but the host handled the situation with kindness and professionalism.
U-co comunity is great, I got good friends from my days there.
Bathrooms are clean, some people are not clean but those are rare. Maybe a fast check in the second toilet upstairs will be good, takes around 10 minutes to full the water container to flush the toilet.
Some people doesn't know how to use the water tab in the shower. You can adjust the water temperature as you want to, if you can't do it, staff will be more than happy to help you.
Kitchen is clean and big, no one takes your food and many people is happy to share food or cooking time with you.
I have been three times there, never seen bedbugs as some one has mentioned. I asked to other people there and they have not seen either. I couldn't stay in a place like that. They are constantly fumigating. Something that it can be improved is that in long stays, the should change the sheets. I didn't ask for it, maybe service is aviable.
My bedroom was clean, not smell bad or rare, in my case it doesn't have windows so I leave the door open to ventilate it, no a single penny was missing.
Also we always have water, I have seen many times a water pipe coming because in Mexico there are a lot of troubles with water distribution.
Sometimes I heard parties at the place, I even participated in some, I thing most of the people in the hostel liked it, just once someone ask if we could stop it, and we went to sleep. So yes, it can be loud sometimes but usually everyone understand that we are sharing.
There use to be a very bad customer, fortunately is banned from the place. Consider also that is really multicultural place, some people can speak louder than the others, everyone is different.
Remember that the reception is from 9.00 to 18.00.
Alonso is a great host, great sense of humor, able to help and patience.
The cleaners are really good workers and friendly.
I recommend this place, is a shame that I have to leave.
Unfortunately my friend booked a private room for us here, firstly the room has no window and no natural ventilation, just a standing fan. It was very smelly, like a boys dorm that was also mouldy, couldn't see visible mould on the painted walls but I think it was the bed itself or the headboard that stank the most.
The grey pillowcase had some questionable stains, some looked like blood, and then my biggest issue with this place came to light. I couldn't figure out who was actually working there, I sent a WhatsApp message but it's a +1 number and I didn't even get a real person reply just an automated message. I slept on my jumper that night. I then messaged the number on the wall at the door who I assumed was staff, still no response. By chance 28 hours later, when I was in the garden someone introduced Alonso who worked there and I was able to get a new one, then I finally got a reply from the +1 number saying "the pillow case is completely clean, don't worry".. not good enough! Even if they were just old stains I deserved to get a new case when I asked. Especially given the price we paid.
The bathrooms are grim, always standing water in the tray, the drains stink and both bathrooms downstairs need a proper deep clean and paint, no hooks at all in one of them.
The location is good but that's about it. Plenty of better places in CDMX.
Used to stay at “the spot” U-Co Juarez back in 2021. Happy to report U-Co Roma has the same chill vibe, but a way better neighbourhood. Fast, reliable wifi, good coworking space. Marlene and Silvia keep the place clean and tidy. Alonso is very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.
Really loved the vibe here. A nice mix of nomads and traveler without the party scene. Plenty of people to link up with for adventures.
Alonzo was helpful and tranquilo. There were cleaners daily so it was always clean.
100% would stay here again!!!!
When I first came to Mexico City, I picked this place cause I liked the neighborhood and I was looking for a coliving & coworking place. But since I’ve been here (multiple times this year) I’ve noticed that people keep coming back. During my recent stay in October, there were 4 of us who all had returned after traveling to all sorts of other countries. A lot of people say this place feels like a second home. I highly recommend this place, the staff, and the community!
I had the most incredible stay at this hostel! It’s the definition of an authentic hostel experience- warm, friendly, and effortlessly sociable. The people here are unbelievably generous, and because everyone lives together in such a relaxed environment, it’s so easy to meet new friends from all over the world.
The rooms are spacious, and the showers are absolutely perfect. The location couldn’t be better: right in the heart of Roma Norte, which is not only stunning but also so much more enjoyable than staying in the historic district. You’re close to amazing cafés, vibrant streets, and the best the city has to offer.
And a special shoutout to Alonso, the host—he’s truly exceptional. He goes above and beyond for every guest and makes sure you have everything you need. His care and hospitality take the experience to a whole new level.
If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, with great people, perfect amenities, and an unbeatable location-this is it. Absolutely loved my stay!
Best co-living and hostel in Mexico City ! Perfect location and great staff especially Alonso and the cleaning staff
purposeful co workations and stays
