It's a nice place with excellent cleanliness. I appreciated the bit of privacy provided by the curtains for the bunk beds and the coworking areas. The staff is really helpful and friendly, from reception to housekeeping; they all do an excellent job. They also organize several activities, and I really enjoyed the bike tour.

Loved the stay. Felt welcome as soon as I arrived. Walk to central Cancun in 5 minutes, and catch the r2 to the beach around the corner. Very laid back family vibe. Share smiles and chats over a delicious pancake breakfast! Thanks for a great stay :)

The hostel is looked after by a lady and her son, both of whom are warm and welcoming. They gave me towels for the shower and were accomodating with my needs ; the place was clean and cozy and the beds confortable enough and they provide fitered water. Located in a good neighborhood I arrived at midnight and felt safe. The Bus terminal is close-by which makes it easy to travel. For the price and the last minute availability I have to say it was over my expectations - I recommend this place.

All hostels in Cancún

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

There are reasons for my 1 star rating but first, the positives I stayed in a 10-bedroom female dorm for 7 nights. It was clean enough, beds were comfortable and the bins were emptied regularly. The A/C in the room was awesome. A great relief from the heat. The bar a pool area was a nice hang out spot although a bit of an awkward space for group hang outs. The hostel was situated very close to beach access and the quick mart was across the road. Bus stops for both directions right outside. Great location.

I feel super comfortable, too pleasant weather. The hostel promotes several socialization activities and happy hour is great for meeting people if you are alone. The rooms are always clean and the breakfast is very complete and delicious. Excellent location, you can do everything by walking. By far the best hostel I've ever stayed in! I recommend
