Hostel Casa de Chihuahua - A boutique hostel.   *** GROUPS OF 4 PEOPLE ONLY. COUPLES/INDIVIDUALS WELCOME ONLY IF WE HAVE GROUPS THAT DAY / THOSE DAYS *** THE RECEPTION FOR CHECK-IN IS OPEN FROM 7 AM TO 12 PM *** 3 DAYS MAXIMUM STAY, NO MINIMUM STAY *** WE ACCEPT CASH ONLY FOR THE BALANCE, NO CREDIT CARDS PLEASE.   You can now read about us in the Lonely Planet 2009.   We, owners, manage our place by ourself, and show a constant effort to please our customers, either on cleanliness, to-do tips or commodities.   We are quite flexible and make our best to fit your needs if we can.   For individuals, we provide a comfortable, safe and lean dormitory with pine wood beds made from the Copper Canyon trees.   For 2 people who do not want to share their bedroom with anyone, we offer a cosy little bedroom.   For families and small groups, we provide a room of 4 individual beds where up to 8 people can actually sleep comfortably   For large groups between 15 and 20 people, we like to block the whole hostel.   We do not provide any kitchen because the small restaurants in Chihuahua are great and super cheap.   That said, you can order some local torta, amazingly good, very cheap and not spicy -, sit comfortably on a large pouf and watch the movie of your choice on our huge home cinema.   Something you won't find frequently on your trip : we heavily invested on the water system and consequently have a high-pressurized and - very .- hot water, meaning that yes, you can at last wash your long hair !   Our bathrooms are individual, brand new, cleaned several times a day. For obvious hygienic reasons, WC are separated from the bathrooms.   We continuously gather the best addresses in town for vegetarians, for fresh juices lovers, or for a great but cheap dinner on a terrasse surrounded by music, at a mere 5 minutes walk from the hostel   Chihuahua is definitely not a touristic place, and we want you to like it for the same reason. Everything you will see here is 100 pct authentic, like Marlboro-style cowboys or Tarahumaras Indians, like colourful boots shops, like 'mole' cooking, and so much more.   People are warm but won't jump on you to get a byte of money. Show them some respect though by using small amount of pesos instead of US dollars.   We are choosen to locate right across the train station to the Copper Canyon because the trains either leave very early (6 am and 7 am) or arrive very late (10 pm and 11 pm or later).   This is a very safe and quiet area, with lots of parking place, but we are still close to the center area, as all you need is a nice 5 minutes walk from our hostel.   We sell coffee and tea the whole day long, we have free wireless Internet, a 50 pesos laundry service (soap / washing / drying in less than 1 hour).   Our marketing niche is a clean, quiet and safe heaven offering the potential for a great night of sleep.   So... we do not allow alcohol inside (you can have alcohol in any bar or restaurant, no problem, but you cannot get back drunk at night)   Couples hoping for a torrid night should look for another place as our hostel is too compact for these activities,   We do not welcome majijuana lovers,   W are not - and we do not intend to be - the cheapest place around neither. But we sure offer a cosy and clean safe-heaven for the genuine traveller.   *** GROUPS OF 4 PEOPLE ONLY.

Wegbeschreibung

From the Paseo Bolivar, walk the Ocampo avenue up to Sagrado Corazon (Sacred heart) church, then a 1mn walk takes you to the train station &quot,El Chepe&quot,. We are right in front.
From the Pancho Museum, this is even closer. Same &quot,Calle Mendez&quot, street, we are between the street number 22 and 24.
From the bus terminal which is out of the city, take the &quot,Circumvalacion 2&quot,, which will drop in front of the &quot,Peni&quot,. A 100 meters walk to the trainstation and the hostel.
From the airport, not much alternative : If you are on yor own, save money and take a collective taxi. About 70 pesos to the city / the hostel. Tell the driver to drop you at the &quot,El Chepe&quot, train station. If you are 2 or more, you are better off taking a private taxi, 140 pesos for the car.
Chihuahua has much to offer ! So we are looking forward to see you !
