Comments: Very dirty, unmaintained property (going as far as calling it a hostel would be a generous gesture) with stained sheets and stench of marijuana. Definitely not as central as proclaims to be. AVOID.

Comments: Its cheap!! The rooms are averagely clean, its about a 10-15min walk to the bus that takes you to all the beaches there is an amazing crowd of hysterical drunken mexicans that hang out in the kitchen ! The people who run it are funny. The perfect deal if your travelling on a tight budget !

Comments: This hostal is definetly horrible! But it is the chepeast you will find and the only one we saw run by Mexican people. For these two reasons we decided to stay there. In any case, I'll recomend it to you if you are (only) looking for good price.

Comments: This is a bare-bones type hostel. There are no frills and no bells and whistles. The toilet was broken and just about everything was dirty. It served it´s purpose but nothing more.

Comments: The hostel is very spartan in decor and furnishings. It does, however, offer two, decently stocked kitchens, as well as dependable Internet connection. Bed linens are minimal, thus one may contemplate bringing either a sleep sack or bag. Some of the windows do not close completely or are lacking some panes, and it can get awfully chilly at night during the winter months, so prepare to dress warmly if you will spend the winter here. This hostel is best for those who seek mainly a place to sleep and require only the minimal of necessities. There are other hostels in Cancun that are much more attractive in terms of appearance, neighborhood, and comfort...but I prefer a rougher option.

Comments: We were very happy with our stay. Free internet and a kitchen. Good security, front doors are locked around 9pm. Rooms are basic but clean. Location is good if you want to stay away from the Americanised tourist areas, lots of restaurants, bars and action in downtown Cancun.
