“Great hostel and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

We stayed in Cozumel for a couple of nights and this hostel was great, good price for backpacking and amongst lots of restaurants and close to the town center and port where you get off the ferry. We stayed in a double room which was really nice and had its own bathroom. The hostel also gives discount for the Hostel International card, and provided a breakfast each morning. Although we were far from the beach we rented a motorcycle from a store near the hostel and saw some beautiful beaches and had a great time. Would definitely stay here again,.

“No longer very good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

My latest experience with Hostelito was world's apart from my experience of last year. This year, maintenance and management issues abound.

1. The place is no longer very clean and well-kept. Hostelito is not yet shabby, but in two years, if the downward trend continues, it probably will be.

a. the kitchen area is deplorable. it is not thoroughly cleaned every day and the sink arraignment has numerous leaks and operational problems. (faucet, faulty traps, etc.)

b. In my room the fan and a/c unit were both decrepit. Bad bearings on both rendered them so noisy they were unusable.

c. Other room defects, such as warped doors and missing shower tiles, which last year we considered charming, have accumulated to the point of decrepitude.

d. Regular room service is apparently a thing of the past. I realize this is a Hostel, but the private room was said to include daily cleaning. We went 4 days between cleanings.

The staff are all still friendly and helpful. But overall, my most recent experience left me wondering if the ownership of the place had recently changed. If felt as if it had.

“Good affordable hostel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This was a solid hostel. It is conveniently located quite close to the ferry harbour. I stayed in a private room on the third floor. With two people travelling together it was only slightly more to get a private rather than dorms. The dorm room was quite large with many beds. The private room was good, but the bathroom wasn't cleaned as often as I thought it should.
The hostel has a fully equipped kitchen which is helpful when saving money. There is a beautiful sitting area but the chairs/pillows are often wet or soggy. A nice hammock area improves the overall ambience.

Note: While this is a hostel review, I would like to point out that the beach is very far from here. Most beaches are on the other side of the island, and you must rent a car to get there. If you are thinking about staying at this hostel and walking down to an amazing beach, you may want to rethink your plans.
