    I would give it a solid 3.5 stars, mostly based on the location and the friendliness of the staff; I think this new U-co location has good potential but unfortunately, I wasn't fully satisfied with my month stay and would probably consider staying elsewhere next time I come back to Mexico City. The reviews on google and some of the pictures seem to be from the old location 2 years ago - which I found a little misleading as they don't really represent the reality of the new location. Location: the location of the home is great. Very walkable to restaurants, great coffee shops, bars, parks, yoga studios, two hospitals, etc. You're right in the heart of Roma Norte. Rooms: I had a private room and mine was quite large, with high ceilings, which I liked. My only issue is that the walls are VERY thin so I could easily hear my neighbors, and basically all the street traffic. My room was on the street side of the house, so every time a bus or truck went by, it shook the whole room, which made it hard to sleep + all the street's noise pollution in general (even with ear plugs). The price, as well, is pretty steep for the offering - if I had had more time to look, I could have easily found a 2bed apartment in the area (for the price of my single room in the Uco house). Wifi: the wifi was not always reliable, which is frustrating since I was working. I had calls/videocalls drops every day, which was a bit frustrating. Coworking spaces: In my opinion, not ideal for people working full time (especially if you have a lot of calls/zooms) because both spaces are very echo-ey. The acoustics were not conducive to working. Sometimes several people would be having a call at the same time and the noise/echoes made it hard to focus and work. There are no private rooms for meetings which sort of surprised me for a space advertising itself as a cowork. Community: there was simply no sense of community. The house often felt 'dead' to me. I chose a coliving/coworking space for this express purpose of meeting people and building community, but it didn't feel natural to meet people in the home, and sadly the staff only organized 1-2 events for the home the whole month I stayed. It would have been nice to have a weekly dinner and other low-key events to help build a community - a lot of little things could have made a HUGE difference, with minimal effort. This is probably my biggest point of contention with the home. No one really used the whatsapp group either (some people I met didn't even know about it). It would be much better if there were a combined whatsapp group with the other U-Co house in Juarez - this would also help build a more vibrant community. Staff: Generally very friendly and helpful, I just wish they did more to build a sense of community. I appreciated that there was nearly always someone 'on call' at the home even on weekends. Amenities: I booked this location in part because I was staying long-term and the website said it had a washer/dryer, etc. This was not the case. There are a couple things listed on the website that are not in the home so do your due diligence. I did appreciate the daily house cleaning and the backyard patio is nice. A microwave and oven would be nice and useful additions to the kitchen.

    This place does have some faults, but it is ONE OF THE BEST out of all the Airbnbs I stayed in while spending 6 months in Mexico City. It is also head and shoulders above Uco Juarez location, although that one is better for partying Pros: Very comfortable beds, wonderful staff, and every resident I met was nice. Location is safe and very close to the bus. This is not a party hostel but you can definitely make friends. Cons: Acoustics are rather poor, depending on your room, the noise may drive you crazy. There was also some construction going on when I was there. Internet is fast but can drop randomly... same with random 2-minute power outages. Kitchen cleanliness depends on other guests so.. that can be really variable note that the price keeps increasing steadily. private rooms are not budget-friendly for travelers, unless you are a working nomad from a rich country. Depending on the month, I paid between $1000-1400 USD for a private room w/ bathroom.

    I could not have asked for a better place to stay during my first trip to Mexico City. U-Co is the perfect mix of co-live and co-work. The owner Marco himself a frequent traveller and digital nomad as thought of everything. The capsule accommodation is private and quiet, whist the kitchen area, lounge and natural light filled desk space is perfect if you want to chat with your fellow guests. The coffee is great, beds super comfortable, fluffy towns and it is super clean. The U-Co team are absolutely delightful, super helpful and always smiling. Can't wait till my next visit, highly recommend, loved it.

    U-Co Roma is an amazing place for travellers, backpackers and people working remotely. It offers very comfortable capsules to sleep, modern & clean bathrooms as well as free coffee, water, snacks. The co-working space is ideal for anyone studying or working while travelling. The neighborhood is very safe and offers many restaurants, bars and parks. Marco is a great host and his staff is very friendly and welcoming.

    Great private room for a reasonable price. Location is amazing and the staff are very helpful thanks so much to Perla for making our trip so easy and being flexible. If I could add one work on it would be to finish blacking out the windows in the down stairs bedroom.

    When we checked in, the sheets in our room had hairs on them and makeup stains. We messaged the host and moved to another room, but those sheets were dirty too. The room did not have a window and the entire hostel had a layer of dirt. Very disappointed.

    Marco is easily the best host I've encountered at a hostel anywhere. From day one he was in communication via WhatsApp, assuring that I found the location without issue and everything was to standard. The U-Co Roma location was one of a kind with fantastic bunks and a large co-working space. At 200 Mbps, it was by far the fastest wifi connection I've found anywhere in Mexico. I look forward to returning at the completion of their new Juarez location and spending another few weeks with the U-Co family.

    If you need a positive creative workspace and comfortable co-living location in Mexico City, U-CO is it! This is a fantastic workspace and co-living space in Roma Nte. Marco and his team have created a real gem here. I am a full time digital nomad and I haven't found a better time anywhere for what I like. Friendly positive people will love it here. Bathrooms that are clean and plenty of them. Truly private shower stalls in the shared bathrooms. Hot water that doesn't run out, nice new kitchen area and great beds! One important note, shady or unpleasant people are not allowed to return here, so bring your postive attitude and openness to new experiences. That means you can really network and have productive conversations with digital professionals from around the globe. In just 2 days I added 3 new contacts on whatsapp of quality professionals I want to stay in touch with. It was only open a month when I stayed and I honestly couldn't find one thing to complain about. Clean, comfortable, beautiful urban loft design. The only drawback now for me is.. I want to visit again frequently and I'm sure this place is gonna be booked often with all the positive reviews they will get. For frequent digital travelers to Mexico City they are looking to offer a monthly membership so ask Marco about it if you're interested. They are planning more locations in the near future in other cities so keep an eye on their website. Thanks Marco and team, see you next time!

    I have stayed at U-Co Roma and the sister location U-Co Juárez on multiple occasions already. (For a total of about 4 months), at times in a dorm, other times in a private room. The place is kept super clean. The coworking spaces are great for getting work done. There are multiple wifi networks available so I never once had any issues. On top of that, I’ve met great people here. Special shout out to the staff for being friendly and helpful (Perlita, Eva, Sebastian, Juan, Ciany, you are all great!)

    Amazing place, good energy, rooms clean and confortable! Sharing areas are great ! I really recommend it. They have 24hrs service and gentle service! Mexico City 👍🏽

    U-Co is perfect for anyone looking to live in Mexico City for a time and work remotely. They provide a bed in either a capsule or a private room, and you get access to a super cool co-working space right outside your door! You can save money by not having to pay rent AND for a coworking space, and not having to furnish a whole apartment. Plus it's in one of the absolute best parts of Mexico City with the coolest restaurants, cafes, and bars right outside your door. Highly recommend :)

    The absolute best co-working/co-living space I’ve ever been to! Such a good vibe, great people, and amazing location. Sooo worth it, I wish I could’ve stayed more time. The neighborhood has so much to offer and this is a perfect home base to work from. Couldn’t recommend it more!

    Used the co-working space in U-Co for 2 months and it was really great. Fantastic atmosphere, great wifi, with friendly & helpful staff. Also can't forget the free gorgeous coffee to keep me going! Would definitely recommend it to anyone! Thanks guys.

    Great, comfortable place. Friendly staff. The internet and working facilities are great. I really enjoyed this coliving as it’s a little bit smaller with a slow turnover of visited.

    Disappointing stay. Location good, private room OK but unprofessional hosts and dangerous lack of security. The host did not show me how to use the door code so when i came back at 2.30am i was left locked out on my first night as a woman in Mexico! The host and the co host both did not pick up there phones which left me in a dangerous spot. Until one of the other guests kindly got up to open the desks. The next night it happened to another guest. Also the room names are not clear so when I was there a girl spent an hour trying to find her room as there was noone to help her. This leads to a feeling of chaos where guests are asking each other for help eg with checking in and out instead of the owners. Moreover, there are people working on laptops everywhere without headphones, including the host who is constantly speaking loudly on zoom calls even in the garden, means there is no peaceful place except your own room where u can find a quiet space. It felt like i was sleeping in an depressing office space with no one talking to each other. And i would not recommend unless all u want to be on your laptop and not socialize. Conclusion: Overpriced for what is offered interms of hospitiality and fact the building is worn out and badly needs repainting inside and layout to be reorganized so there are spaces without work going on.

    For me U-Co was the best place to stay in Mexico City; great atmosphere, perfect location, very clean, spacious co-work space. First of all the atmosphere was great in the hostel. Marco, and Bianca as well, are very welcoming and makes everyone feel at home, there is a nice kitchen where you can cook and easily get in touch with other people. Also there are couches to hang out and watch some netflix which really gives you the feeling like you're at home. The hostel is very clean, the beds sleep amazing, you get a big white towel, like in a hotel, small towels to dry your hands with, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion (in refillable bottles!). A lot of attention has been paid to details. Finally the people who work and stay in the hostel are all so kind, many positive vibes! I would say go go go and discover this amazing place yourself, you don’t wanna leave :) Thanks Marco for staying in your hostel!
