Everything was great! Location was perfect near Chacmool beach and some best restaurants in town. Room was clean with good lighting. Bed and pillow were very comfortable. And they had different activities at lounge every day!

It's the best hostel I've ever been to! The rooms are very tidy and always clean, in the kitchen you have everything you need to cook and the staff is super friendly. There is breakfast, the supermarket is not far away as is the bus stop from which you can go to wonderful beaches. I met a lot of new friends here and had the best parties during Spring Break. I can only recommend everyone to come here!

The rooftop was amazing. The pool is big and clean compared to other places I have stayed, plus it haves an open work out area which is pretty cool. Location was great, I walked in the “Nader” corridor which is behind the hostal and founded lots of coffee shops and restaurants. Also ADO station is a few blocks away, where I was able to take the bus to Tulum.

The hostel is looked after by a lady and her son, both of whom are warm and welcoming. They gave me towels for the shower and were accomodating with my needs ; the place was clean and cozy and the beds confortable enough and they provide fitered water. Located in a good neighborhood I arrived at midnight and felt safe. The Bus terminal is close-by which makes it easy to travel. For the price and the last minute availability I have to say it was over my expectations - I recommend this place.

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.

  • Mayan Monkey Cancun - Social Hotel

    Avg. price/night: US$219.12

    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
