Grand Hostal Playa

Location and kitchen great. Nice garden with little pool. That were all the positive points. We would not reccommend to stay here at all. Expensive hostel. Dirty bathrooms, in the men’s showers there are two showers with just one curtain, so you shower next to each other. Dorm with 16 people is way to small and very smelly. No space for luggage, no descent lockers. The beds were very bad and the whole place was dirty. No atmosphere at all and the wifi was so so.

Nothing happened, but it felt a bid as a strange place to me. Staff were friendly & helpful though. The most expensive hostel of this trip. I probably would stay somewhere else next time.

For me, this is not a genuine back packer hostel (more long stay latinos). The kitchen is tired. No coffee in the morning, as advised. Showers on top floor have no hot water. And cold water barely enough pressure for a shower. Pillow slips not clean. Private rooms hot. AC comes on at 10pm then freezes you in middle of the night. The wifi sucks. Only available in the kitchen and it barely works. Good location. Secure. Cheap? Would not stay here again.

Innovations dans l chambre. Cuse de la clim Eau froide La proprio fait rien pour arranger les choses

My main issue was with the dormitory, I just felt like it was too cramped, the noise level of people coming and going made it very hard to rest at all. The personal lights are too bright and don't allow one to sleep if another person wants to use theirs to stay awake. The womens bathroom was in pretty rough shape. The only positives about staying here were, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was close enough to things and far away enough from the noise.

Les chambres de 16 lits sont inconfortable, on est tous serrés et on peut à peine rentrer les sacs dans les casiers… donc on dort tous avec nos sacs sur le lit… Les douches ne sont pas très propres. Le coin piscine est très sympa et c’est tres bien placé!

Kinda clean, but weird people, not super welcoming to chill there, super uncomfortable beds

En general el hostel és tranquilo y se descansa bien, vimos que habia piscina pero en realidad no tiene agua, las camas depende de cual te toque...

Very basic. Nice staff. overall not a social place

Para los dormitorios compartidos, bien la relación precio-calidad. Los colchones son muy malos pero hay hamacas y camastros. Tienen libros y juegos de mesa 👍

Super hostel très bien situé, personnel adorable et très accueillant ! Propre et piscine rafraîchissante

Clean facilities.

My go-to whenever I need just an overnight (need to take the early ADO airport bus to CUN airport) and economical stay. Staff are friendly and the kitchen is perfect for meal prep! And so near the ADO airport bus...just perfect!

I chose this hostel because it was convenient. It is near the ADO bus station, ferry, and a big Walmart for picking up food. It is also near the beach. The environment is pleasant and basic. The kitchen is maintained clean, the bathrooms are adequately clean, there is a small swimming pool (that I didn't go into). Once outside the hostel there are numerous stores and restaurants. The bed was comfy, bedside lockers could use work but no big deal.

Good location for a short stay in Play! Bathrooms could have been cleaner.

muy buen servicio y si esta el gato de la foto

This is a basic Hostel in "downtown" Playa Del Carmen. It's simple and easy to be in. There is a full time attendant who watches over the operations and is supportive of questions. Lots of beds in each dorm but all went well, lockers were appropriate, and each bed has a light and power outlet. Delightfully AC during the sleeping time. There is a swimming pool (I didn't use), and location is great.

The hostel has a nice atmosphere and is good value.
