About

Hostal La Encantada - Mexico City

Hostal La Encantada sits on Guerrero Street in the Colonia del Carmen, Coyoacán, one of Mexico City's most atmospheric neighborhoods. The hostel is 500 meters from the Frida Kahlo Museum (La Casa Azul), placing it within a five-minute walk of the artist's home and the area's cobblestone lanes, markets, and cafés.

The property keeps things straightforward: a shared lounge, free Wi-Fi in public areas, and an outdoor dining area. Rooms are simple—single, twin, and triple configurations with shared shower facilities—and the on-site restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, which guests repeatedly mention as a highlight.
