If catching an Official-Safe taxi from the airport you will probably be better off printing these instructions in Spanish and giving them to the driver, or print out the map.
TIPS ON TAXIS:
(1) Do not get a street (unofficial) cab. If the taxi is unregistered it could be dangerous.
(2) There are two taxi companies at the airport. One is much cheaper than the other. Make sure they don´t give you a van, which is more expensive.
OTHER TIPS:
Mexico City has four main national bus-terminals. If you arrive at the "Taxqueña" Southern Mexico City bus stop, you will have a much closer trip to the hostel (15-20 mins.) Catch a mini-bus (looks like a big van, called "combi,) or a small city bus (called "pesero".) Look for the one that goes to Metro "Copilco". It should cost you 3 to 4 pesos (20 US cents).
You can also look for an authorized taxi. There are places along the sidewalks identified as "TAXIS SEGUROS". These are safer than hailing a cab from the street. Make sure the cab you get on is official with number plates. From Taxqueña, the ride should cost no more than 70 pesos ($5 US.)
