The breakfast and services were fantastic, did you know that if you take a tour early morning they can give you a lunch box if you miss the breakfast? The staff was great and location right next to the beach.

Loved the staff. They were amazingly helpful and let my keep my stuff there and stay inside out of the rain till my car came to drive me back to the airport. So thankful to the team for this. They have people who come by and take you on tours etc. Everything you want in a hostel.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! No matter what I needed, they immediately found a solution. Very small hostel, so perfect to have the chance to get the other to know better.

Excellent place to stay for a visit/holiday in Cancún. I stayed in private accommodation for an excellent price and I appreciate all the kindness of the hosts which are very nice and helpful. I liked the organization of the space and that it was very clean. The rooms are nice, the bed are very good and comfortable pillows. It is located right in the center of Cancún, but in a very quiet residential area, so no noise at night. Is at 5 minutes walk from the ADO bus station. I highly recommend a visit to Cancún and stay in this hotel as it has a very good relation quality/ price.

All hostels in Cancún

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    There are reasons for my 1 star rating but first, the positives I stayed in a 10-bedroom female dorm for 7 nights. It was clean enough, beds were comfortable and the bins were emptied regularly. The A/C in the room was awesome. A great relief from the heat. The bar a pool area was a nice hang out spot although a bit of an awkward space for group hang outs. The hostel was situated very close to beach access and the quick mart was across the road. Bus stops for both directions right outside. Great location.

    I feel super comfortable, too pleasant weather. The hostel promotes several socialization activities and happy hour is great for meeting people if you are alone. The rooms are always clean and the breakfast is very complete and delicious. Excellent location, you can do everything by walking. By far the best hostel I've ever stayed in! I recommend
