They went out of their way to get me a room when I didnt have a cell for whatsapp on it. Were so helpful. The hostel is beautiful. When I first arrived, the ladies in my dorm were a bit messy, but when they left, I woke up early, and the place was clean as can be. Lovely areas upstairs to hear the birds, pool was great, I really enjoyed my time here. No kitchen, but they did have everything you needed, microwave, fridge, blender I saw, dishes, it was fine. Excellent price. Highly recommend.

All hostels in Playa del Carmen

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.

Great location, 10 min walk from the main street and beaches, close to shops and bus stations. They have a cold water machine you can use at any time to refill your water for free. Aircon in the room although on only during the night. Wifi works great. There’s LOADS of space in the room to put your stuff, get ready, charge phones, etc. Great vibes from other travellers as well, one of few hostels in Playa that has female-only dorms.
