The hostel is beautiful, right in front of the laguna. People are so nice and volunteers also helped me a lot when i lost something. The breakfast is good, with fresh fruits, coffee or tea and toasts. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, and common areas are nice and relaxing.

I recently stayed at a wonderful Hostel that exceeded all of my expectations. The facilities were impeccably clean and well-maintained, which made for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The shared kitchen was a fantastic bonus, as it allowed me to save money on meals and prepare my own food. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and always went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I needed. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this Hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

I had a great time at Elmar, if you’re looking for a chill vibe but still social - this is the place. The two girls and the guy who work there that I met were super nice, and they arranged activities like yoga, meditation, etc. Very clean and spacious dorms. You also get a towel and laundry for free, which is really appreciated as a backpacker! Breakfast nice and extra plus for having Oatly! :) I can highly recommend this place!

We absolutely loved our stay here at Ukayil, the room was MASSIVE and very comfortable with all amenities you need, even a coffee maker, plates and cutlery. The A/C was amazing, the room is decorated nice, check-in was a breeze with little lock-boxes to collect keys after hours. The bathroom and shower were very good too and there was lots of space to hang clothes inside and also a washing line outside too. The location was quite good too, it's about 15 minutes to walk into the centre from here, which is not bad, and you definitely don't need a taxi to the centre or to the boat jetties or free municipal swimming area - they are all walkable. But it may be a bit far for some - but taxis are cheap if you need them. The taxi to the ADO station from here was ~mx$40. The host was also very helpful and nice, bringing us blankets when we first checked in, and then helping us arrange a taxi to the ADO station to leave on the last day. Overall, this property is probably the best value for money place we've stayed in this whole trip through Mexico, given the comfort and size of the room, walking distance to centre and great price, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thanks for having us!!

All hostels in Chetumal

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.

Friendly reception and staff, allowing storage of backpacks if arriving early. A proper backpacker place with good vibe, interesting people and good advice available for forward transport. Good internet and quiet at night. Incredibly cheap beer with a nice rooftop to enjoy it on. Good location. Definitely return on way back.
