This is the best hostel I've stayed in. I've travelled through Europe, south east Asia and Latin America and this hostel was my favorite. The staff were so welcoming and make u feel part of the family. The hostel provides breakfast and dinner with a tequila shot, great value. I loved staying in downtown claw to mercado 28 where u...

Stayed in this hostel for 3 nights. The hostel is very nice, people all around the world. Nice breakfast and dinner included in the price. Location close to the ADO bus station. The stairs for the second floor a bit small and hard for going up. The big dorm is completely open without lockers(!!), and it is a huge dorm.... More

First hostel I've stayed at but pretty sure it will be one of the best. Dinners are great for socialising and although they're not massively filling should be enough if you have a decent lunch. Staff are easy to get along with; make you feel at home. Encouraged everyone to go out on a night. Bedroom was nice, hole place... More

I originally made a rather positive review on Hostelworld back in April 2010, but I recently met someone who upon chatting to them had also stayed at the same hostel and had something stolen as I did, so I feel there are a few things to be wary of when staying here. I'm not blaming anyone and things may have... More

Stayed Fri and Sun night mid-Feb. Super close to bus station and short taxi to Hotel Zone. Arrived around 1900 on Fri, walked to get beer (liquor license soon), came back, night full of Aussies (no complaints) and drinking/club. Paddy, who works at the hostel, convinced everyone to go out (pre-pay wrist band for all you can drink and transport... More

I stayed two nights here and the place is very charming and the staff very friendly and helpful. (Thanks guys again for the last -minute errand you helped me with!) The communal dinners in the garden are really pleasant and you meet travellers from everywhere who are not just staying in Cancun to party but also seeing the real Mexico.... More

Both breakfast and dinner are provided free of charge by the hostal which is a great opportunity to get to know other guests and make friends. The meals where also very decent, eggs and fruit in the morning and comida corrida style food in the evening. It... More

This was my 2nd stay at this hostel, the first being in December 2008 - and lot's has changed. The hostel is a 24/7 party city - the staff are drunk after 6pm and through the night, lots of emphasis (and a push to) go clubbing in Cancun every night, and screaming/loud music until 4-5 am. So if you're looking... More

We only had 1 night here but it was a very nice night. Met the owner when we arrived, got a wee guided tour and decided to upgrade to the private room overlooking the backgarden. Very nice, spacious room. The back garden has a great little bar and at dinner time all residents gather round the table for a free... More
