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
