The hostel is located in a really good area and the hostel facilities are good. However, if you don't like the typical "party hostels" (like I don't), with no proper character, and were the atmosphere is to try to get as drunk as possible at their own bar upstairs....this s not the place for you. I was there in September... More

Really great, the breakfast and dinner are tops and a great way to socialise. They'll take you out to the clubs on an evening if you want. The staff make this place your home away from home! Hot Water did stop for a few hours but they did fix it pretty quick. More

This hostel felt like home. The food was great, clean rooms, hot water, building with a lot of character and a nice garden. Felt like staying with family-hands down the best hostel I stayed in in Mexico. More

This hostel is just so-so, not as good as normal hotel. First of all, it's expensive. Although the food is included, it is still unworthy. Also, the dinner supposed to start at 8PM. However, eating around 10PM is what usually happened. You just sit there and wait for the dinner forever. One thing is good that you meet new people... More

Our stay here was more like a house with friends than a bulk accomadation stay. Perhaps not the colours you would use in your home but made for a positive mood and fits in well with the rest of Cancun. We stayed in a spacious private room with own bathroom which was such a releif after our recent experience in... More

This is the best Hostel I’ve stayed at. You get breakfast included. It is basic but you also get fresh filter coffee. You also get dinner, it is basic too but everyone in the hostel sits down to eat dinner together in the garden. It is a great way to meet people. Have your main meal at lunch time though.... More

The accommodation is generally good to very good, but generally it is expensive for what you receive. While we found the breakfast good, the dinners were cold and lacking. More

We arrived at the hostel a day earlier that planned, cause of weather conditions and Julio, the host, offered us another room which was as good as the one planned for us. Colorful, clean, spacious, own bathroom. Looked very warm and sweet. We preferred individual room, although people staying in shared room seemed to have a lot of fun. The... More
