I dont think you will get a better rate than the online price.

On the website it says

"These are special rates that are only available through this web site and limited to a certain number of rooms."

I have booked through their website several times without any problems.

Gonzo's recommendation is the best bargain for a hotel downtown.

If you want to have more interaction with other backpack types, you may want to try Hostel Chacmool. The big park is right in front of it and it will be a few $$ cheaper than Alux.

It just depends on what you are looking for. You will be happy with either.
