The hostel is in Cancun Downtown. You can easily take the R1 Bus to the Beach and Hotelzone. The Cleanliness is okey, the shower wasn't good running, and everywhere in Mexico you have to put the used toilettpaper in the bin, which makes it a little disgusting! The staff is really nice. Would go there again.

If partying is what you want, take a taxi to the bar district. However, there are some small fun bars right around the corner. Super convenient to the bus station. We found the staff to be super nice, offering us watermelon on the way out as a goodbye. It was very safe. Also, the AC made things very comfortable.

It is a family owned hostel. The staffs don't know much English, but they are very nice and willing to help. They do keep the room very clean. If you just want a bed to sleep, it is not a bad choice, at least it is very close to everything: R1 bus to hotel zone, bus station, and the staff can bring in tour executive to you for the tours booking.

This was so much fun! I had never been to a hostel before! It is so close to the bus and only 8 mins in walking distance to Walmart. It is close to food, shopping and banks. The hosts were so nice they even let us try some of their food!! It is close to a park and the bus station! I loved it and would stay there again!

The bathroom was a bit dirty but only after a lot of people take a shower. They do clean it twice a day, at night and in the morning. Being a block from Av. Tulum is awesome, all the buses are here, banks, and best of all its outside of the touristy hotel zone. Its not a place to party which is why I like it but if its partying you want the hotel zone is 5 mins away on the bus which only cost $65 pesos. Taxis are iffy I one from the airport and they charged me $53 USD, Dont Get Fooled like i did

As hostels go it was fine for a 1 night stop over, however there were no locks on the doors and felt a bit like you were imposing yourself as guests in someones house. There was aircon in the room but it sounded like aircraft engine so had to be switched off. The place was all pretty clean except the bathroom which stank of stale piss was quite grubby, flip flops on in the shower kind of place. The staff were friendly enough and there was a nice fruit bowl and bread for breakfast.
