I came here on the recommendation of the owners of another hostel in town (they were booked up) and then just couldn't leave. This is one of those hostels that is obviously run by travelers. The shared rooms all have double sized mattresses on the bunk beds which you can share with a travel buddy for a small charge (making... More

I stayed here for 4 nights with a friend this April, we stayed in a private room with our own bathroom. The room was clean, the location of the hostel was perfect, across the street from a market just a short walk from downtown. The kitchen was awesome, we used it everyday. It didn't bother us, but you're not allowed... More

We stayed for 4 nights in this great hostel in Tulum. Although a lot of people talk about the Weary Traveller this is a great place to stay as well. It is a little (10 min or so) walk from the busstation but it worth the walk. The staff is very friendly and very helpfull. The hostel is clean, the... More

We stayed for 4 days and it was perfect. We booked the double room which has its own bathroom and air conditioning. The hostel was really cute and very clean. They serve excellent veggie food. The owner and all guests were very friendly and fun. Kitchen was clean and easy to use. One of my favorite hostels on the planet! More

We stayed there for five days and it was a great experience. We shared a room and it was excellent. The hostel has 5 rooms and a nice kitchen where you can cook everything except meat. There is a small pool but the water is always cold. The room is Ok, they have air and the bathrooms are OK. In... More

We had three really great days in Tulum and at Chalupa. The staff are really friendly, there is a good kitchen which you can use although sometimes in the evening there is a chef cooking and you don't really want to get in the way but I am sure she wouldn't mind! The pool is small but it was such... More

I was recently on hostelbookers and noticed that Chalupa only had a rating of 77.1%, which is pretty low on that website. I was astounded, as throughout my 8 months of travelling in Latin America, Chalupa was one of the best hostels I stayed at. Positives Dorms - beds are doubles, which means you can share if you're in a... More

I love the Hostal Chalupa!! I will definitely go back when visiting Tulum....it's even a reason to go to Tulum, knowing such a fantastic place to stay. Andrea and Vinnie, the owners, are amazing....they have a great dog to keep you company. They rent bicycles, they have a chef and prepare two meals/day, the kitchen is open for you to... More

For a change, I wasn't traveling around on buses so with the luxury of a rental car, I checked out a few various accommodations around the Tulum area that I had read about on Trip Advisor. I was surprised by how much places were charging for so little. I hadn't read about Chalupa but it seemed conveniently located right on... More

This hostel was one of the best that we have stayed in during our 5 months travelling. We stayed in a clean, private en-suite room which had the most comfortable beds that we've slept in since being away. Also, the towels were the best that we have seen. The pool isn't huge but is clean and refreshing. In summary I... More
