I spent a week at Hostel 3B at the end of April, 2013. The accommodation was everything I needed during my stay in Playa del Carmen at a very reasonable price. The staff were great: friendly, knowledgeable about the local area, easy to deal with as an english-speaker. The hostel was always clean, and I met lots of like-minded travelers.... More

Staying at 3B for three nights at the end of April 2013 was a very nice experience!! The hostel is situated perfectly very close to the beach, the shopping street, the colectivos (little buses that take you to paradiselike beaches near by Playa del Carmen) and the Ado bus station. The rooms are light and clean, with pleasant colors, and... More

I just recently left hostel 3b after a six night stay that was only supposed to be two nights. Travelling alone. I was impressed and it was one of the better hostels I've stayed at. Clean for the most part and kind staff, though I wasn't sure on the fact that only one staff member, other than yvan, spoke conversational... More

the place was great and i loved the ambiance.... very good for festivals or casual holidays. Cheers. Playa del Carmen is also a prime location for vacations. Music festivals are one of the key attributes of this place beginning January and end of december.

We were SO disappointed about this hostel... The beds were confortable, but they didn't change the sheets... so mine were very dirty. The showers and toilets were more than disgusting. The smell was horrible. They say it has A/C... but in fact, they put it only between 1am and 3am. In the packed dorm of 12, the temperature was very... More

The location was perfect. About 3 blocks from the beach, around the corner from the bus stop, 2 blocks from 5th ave, steps away from a "modern" shopping plaza (with Starbucks), and 2 blocks away for a more "local" feel. The common room was kept clean by staff almost 2x daily, the rooms at least once. The atmosphere and theme... More

Hey, for $13USD, I haven't found anything nicer. Clean, quiet, respectful. The "chill" environment created by the strategic lighting, helps you have a relaxed attitude. Fernando and the other staff at the front desk are super friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are nicely done. Good job!
