THERE ARE BED FLEAS - PULGAS DE CAMA! - Unfortunately, I can't recommend staying at U-Co Roma. I was assigned the Mariana room, which has no windows and a musty smell. After two nights, I discovered several bed fleas and woke up with bites all over my body. I reported it immediately, but the response was dismissive and unhelpful. I also emailed them requesting a refund and never got a reply. A place with bed fleas is a serious health issue. I strongly advise against staying there.
Amazing Co-Living place! Perfect location. If you are looking for cool people, a social vibe and want to connect to other digital nomads you are in the perfect place. I would definitely come again
The best co-living space in Mexico City. You're in the heart of Roma Norte and within walking distance to some of the coolest restaurants, cafes, and nightlife. I stayed for a little over a week, which I think is the ideal amount of time to enjoy co-living, not too long and not too short. There were tenants who stayed well over a month and didn't complain. Speaking of the tenants, I met some really interesting people during my stay. If you're looking to stimulate your social skills, then you can't go wrong with this place.
Glance at this place's website, and 'youthful demographic' jumps out at you. I have not fit that demo for decades, but also wanted a social scene, a great location, and a private room. I booked a room, received my check in information via email--pass code to get in, another pass code for my room.
I found out right away that there was no on-site manager, nobody to complain to that my room had NO WINDOW! However, most guests were ad hoc collective caretakers of the place, and I was soon settled in, had a quick tour and an invite to dinner at an amazing taco place a few blocks away.
That led to an evening on the patio, sipping beverages and enjoying the company of the other guests. I found out that there were two housekeepers who worked each day, a seven hour shift, and that they would take care of any problems, and do your laundry for a fee.
Most people work remotely, so the place had a quiet buzz to it most of the day-that worked to help out with an impromptu orientation for new arrivals. There were also several bulletin boards-hot tips on local spots to eat, etc, a calendar of excursions and events, and a board to let the guests know who was arriving. I stayed five nights, had easy access to everything in the neighborhood and the city, and made a friend or two. Cheers!
I stayed at U-Co for two weeks. I came for the capsules and stayed because of the atmosphere and the people. Alex, who leads the events, creates such a cool and fun vibe that I simply didn’t want to leave. He helped me with everything I needed, including local recommendations and explanations about the area and how to get around.
As for the place itself, even though the bed wasn’t the most comfortable for me, I really enjoyed the privacy of the capsule. The kitchen was convenient for cooking (the water and gas flow was a bit weak but sufficient). There’s daily cleaning, and the staff is pleasant and helpful. The Roma Norte neighborhood is perfect for a long stay in CDMX, and this accommodation offers a bed at a reasonable price for the area.
I highly recommend this place for solo travelers or digital nomads seeking social interactions at the coolest spot in CDMX.
This is one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed at in many different countries. Our private room was right off the common area with no noise barrier and we were kept up all night with people moving about and talking. Our sheets had hair and old blood stains on them. The bathroom had black mold on the shower. Would not recommend.
This place feels like home!
Great place with very good location. Marco, the owner, is often in working at the coliving himself and is very attentive (he rightfully kicked out a misbehaving guest, came to change the malfunctioning front door lock late at night, taking in feedback from guests very fast).
The place also has a outdoor garden/terrace and some TV streaming services. The female dorm can be a little noisy however because it's on the street.
