“Cheap place to stay! Bit shabby on the outside but clean with no bedbugs and the door locks fine! No frills but ideal!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011 via mobile

Stayed here for 2 nights and have to say was a bit sceptical at first as the building is round a corner and looks scruffy on the outside but what do you expect for £3 a night per person?
The decor needs some tlc!
The room had double bed with a fan and big fridge.
Got given 3 keys for security for front door, hall door and room door which was good. Owner seems friendly but you can tell he is trying to save money with not many lights and basic amenities.
However, clean bed and shower right next door and roof terrace to sit up on. Kitchen is also basic.
Ideal for 2 nights.
Good location for great food literally around the corner from food stalls!
Would recommend if you are looking for cheap no frills clean and safe room in downtown cancun!

“Don't come in the Summer”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

Stayed here for 2 weeks and there is no A/C. I was sleeping in sweat and it is not worth the $5 dollars. You should just pay $10 more to Hotel Sotavento. I was too hot to move though. There is no roof when walking down stairs. The dining area is terrible and filthy, but I see a lot of nice looking people there!!! Someone took all my shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Everything is old and there are bugs in the room. There is no mesh to the window. Very disgusting and traumatizing.

“Clean, basic, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights, with my girlfriend in a huge private room. Had king size bed, fridge, freezer, tv, toilet and a shower. It was very basic, shower and toilet seperated by a tarpaulin! It was quite old and hasn't been refurbished for years. The room was clean, the hostel itself was cleaned on a daily basis. It had a small kitchen which was reasonably stocked with equipment but don't expect too much. The owner was spot on, very friendly and helpful. We had a good time in this hostel, had internet wifi free, it's very cheap, and definitely good value for money.

“CREEPY!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010

The location is quite creepy...The room was completely dirty (if you go, don't look under the bed...it's better)! The sheets were YELLOW (never been changed I think!), the curtain of the window was falling. The common bathroom was smelly (no hot water) with a cockroach apperaring during the night! The kitchen...well I don't wanna describe it...The owner seemed nice but he "stoled" us around 2 € making the change from € to mex$, instead of US$ to mex$...don't go there, at all...
