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.

Unforgettable Stay at Nomade Party! If you’re looking for the perfect mix of fun, great vibes, and comfort in Cancún, Nomade Party Hostel is the place to be! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and part of the family. The common areas are super chill and social — ideal for meeting fellow travelers, playing games, or just relaxing with a drink. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned — a real treat after a day under the Mexican sun! But the highlight? The parties. Every night is something different, always well organized and full of good energy, without ever feeling overwhelming or unsafe. The location is also perfect — close to the beach, public transport, and Cancún’s nightlife. This hostel made my trip truly unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back. Huge thanks to the whole Nomade Party team for the amazing memories!

What a lovely inviting hostel and the lady who runs her place is super sweet and makes you feel at home. Most comfortable and clean and so beautifully decorated. Like home away from home, very close to ADO and really peaceful situated at a nice little green park. And her lovely crazy cat is fun to play with! Best choice for first night in Cancun.

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
