Overall, the beds were uncomfortable. And the staff was really rude. Would not recommend

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und wären auf jeden Fall länger dort geblieben wenn Cancun nicht ein Ort gewesen wäre wo wir nicht lange bleiben wollten. Die Betten waren sauber und gemütlich und der Garten ist super gemütlich. ✨

The rooms are located right next to reception, which was very loud. The employees had loud conversations on speaker phone early in the morning and late into the night making sleep difficult. The bed was so uncomfortable I opted to sleep on the floor rather than get poked with springs. A/c worked well in the room and the location is good. The bathroom requires a key which was annoying. Not good value considering airbnbs are similarly priced.

I loved the backyard, and I got lots of helpful information from the staff for the things around. In the area are lots of local Restaurants and so on, I really recommend this Place for a stay in Cancun!

Wir haben eine Nacht vor unserem Flug in einem Einzelzimmer übernachtet und es war super. Sehr sauber und hatte sogar einen Kühlschrank& Mikrowelle. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und wären sonst auch gerne noch länger geblieben. Vielen Dank:)

A really nice hostel for the price, we loved the outside area with the lights and everything. Staff was kind. The kitchen is really small and also kind of dirty and the plates were very old and scratched.

We stayed in a private room which had a shared bathroom with 1 other private room. Room was comfortable and was good for a nights stay however there were people from mixed dorms using our bathrooms which was annoying for us.

Nice facility in a central location. Very affordable. The staff were very helpful in booking tours, etc. My only complaint is that the bathrooms lacked hot water in the sinks, and the kitchen needs more refrigeration facilities. When I inquired about the former with the owner, Carlos (very nice guy), he explained that this had been removed because guests had been using sinks to wash clothes. While I understand the reasoning, I still think that it's not good to not have this situation.

Not my best hostel experience. I was in a private room it was next to the living room which was very noisy from very early till very late. Sheetings of the bed didn’t fit. Toilet and showers was small and where shared with one other room but justed by the whole hostel. Thats why i had to wait almost everytime i had to use the toilet even was locked one night and i didnt get the right key to open. Outside area was nice though.

We booked a private room, which was just off the main lobby/kitchen area so it was really noisy from other guests talking late. The mattress on the bed was so terrible and felt like a water bed. We booked it because it was close to the bus station, but regretted this because of the quality of the mattress, noise and high cost of this hostel considering
