Sayab Hostel & Bar

hostel zelf was rustig. beviel mij erg goed.

Great location 2 blocks off the beach. staff is fabulous! clean hostel, awesome pool great place!

I spent four days at the hostel and I must say it's an amazing place! Excellent location, very close to Fifth Avenue and a part of the beach that I really liked, super clean, friendly and attentive staff, extremely pleasant atmosphere. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in.

no atmosphere when I was staying as it was very quiet. I didn't like the bathroom as you could almost see over the toilet cubicles and they had huge gaps down the side and then middle, so no privacy in the bathroom. nice pool and good location, good for one night. also no privacy curtains on the beds in the girls dorm.

I wouldn't recommend staying in the 16 bed dorm, it can get hot and smelly. I changed and stayed in the female dorm and had nothing to fault! I kept coming back each visit, it feels super comfy. Like home.

Location is great and one of the cleanest hostels I’ve stayed at. Beds have no curtains and light but everything else is great

Excellent staff

Amazing staff, they had a movie night. Love the location, was very clean

Can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment I arrived, it felt like home. Cecelia welcomed me like we’d been friends for years — so kind and generous. Shoutout to Elias, who became my best pal in Playacar. I booked 4 nights and stayed 11, which says it all. Clean, chill vibe with just the right pinch of party. Bonus: there’s a dive center in the hostel (Good Vibes Diving). I’ll definitely be back!

Great place !

Oh Cecelia…

Cecilia made my trip. She was front reception but basically ran the place. I would definitely not of enjoyed my stay there as much if it weren’t for her. The property was great though. Would recommend!

Wasn’t the most active or engaging socially (coming from a 22 yr old kiwi keen to party & make new friends to do daytime activities with). Although, this has probably been one of the nicest hostel in terms of facilities. The showers, swimming pool and seating were so nice. Couldn’t find much reason to use the hostel bar because not much was happening (Friday night too). Lady at the front desk was amazing

Enjoyed my stay here and is a little off the main strip, it seems a place more for chill out than parties and I guess the atmosphere was on the strip rather than at the hostel, I never done it but it seems they had some GREAT scuba tours constantly going on with learning in the pool which is a plus for anyone wanting to learn, staff very friendly, I wish the beds had curtains as this would of raised my score a little although i did know this before booking and used a sheet instead

This hostel was just okay. The staff were fine, but Cecelia was amazing and honestly the only reason I gave this place an 8. The facilities were okay, the bathroom doors barely felt like doors, and there were no curtains in the shared rooms for privacy like at Che Hostel. It also felt like the hostel catered to one specific group of people who were there mainly to socialize or party. If you’re more introverted or not from places like Argentina, I’d recommend looking elsewhere (Che hostel).

L'hostal ésta super bien ubicado, a 1 minuto de la 5a avenida y de la playa, a 2 minutos caminando del Walmart y a 3 minutos de la terminal ADO. tiene una piscina hermosa que tampoco los hoteles tienen, las habitaciones están amplias y todas con clima y ventilador. Los colchones están cómodos, y las sábanas limpias y de un buen algodón.Todo el hostal está muy limpio gracias a Lidia. El personal excelente, Secilia y Tomás los mejores! El Sayab siempre es y será mi única casa en Playa de...

todo muy bien!! muy amables en todo.. volveré

Me encantó este Hostel, todo está muy limpio, las instalaciones son lindas y el staff es muy amable. Además, tiene un centro de buceo y una alberca muy bonita. Sin duda, lo recomiendo. Clean, beautiful, with very friendly staff, highly recommended.

I had stayed here before, and I can confirm it’s the most beautiful hostel in Playa del Carmen. The pool and cleanliness are top-notch, and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommended!

great hostel!!! Cecilia at the reception was the sweetest.
