The staff was so friendly and helpful! No matter what I needed, they immediately found a solution. Very small hostel, so perfect to have the chance to get the other to know better.

This is probably the coolest co living spot in Cancun. The whole place is super spacious. You have everything that you need here like the laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, cinema, a rooftop pool, basketball court, sauna, etc. There is always something going on with the community like beach days and tours and evening activities on the rooftop such beer pong and billiard tournaments. You literally don’t even need to leave the place because they have a restaurant and bar upstairs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The location is solid too, there’s a supermarket nearby, some cheap local food spots, and the bus station is about 5 minutes away. It’s a good time here. Will def come back.

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
