Avoid this property. After booking, they requested full credit card details outside of a secure payment system days before arrival. I refused due to fraud risk and asked to pay securely on arrival, which they declined. I was then denied a refund until the issue was escalated to Expedia. Also, look at other reviews mentioning issues with large deposits being taken. This is unacceptable payment practice and guests should be cautious. Don’t give them your credit card information!!!
My new favorite spot to sleep in Cancun 👍👍 bed's room's washrooms are huge high ceiling large under bed locker's for storage bring a lock , all clean located across from the bus station where the bus from the airport stop's, no complain 😎 I'll be back !
I loved this hostel! It's directly across from the ADO bus station and the collectivo stop, so very convenient. The grocery store is right next door and shopping is just down the street.
There were food trucks out front in the evenings and a restaurant just outside the front door.
I as a solo female traveler felt very safe there and also while walking around the local area.
The rooftop pool, workout area, kitchen and eating area were amazing! I could spend all day there. The room I stayed in (8 bed dorm) was clean and had it's own bathroom with shower. The only thing I wish the shower had were some hooks (for your towel and clothes) and a shelf to put your cleaning items on.
All in all my stay was wonderful and I'll definitely recommend and return :)

Check was at 2 and I got my bed at 5. Garbage in kitchen was overflowing. Would not recommend.
Reservamos uma suite. Ao chegarmos, tivemos que fazer um deposito de 800 pesos, ou entao queriam que deixassemos os passaportes em garantia. A diaria ja estava paga. O segurança ligou para a responsavel, que me questionou o porquê de eu nao querer deixar meu passaporte. A cama tinha fios de cabelo nos lençois e em uma fronha. Como chegamos do aeroporto tarde e ficariamos apenas uma noite, pois seguiriamos viagem, achei que nem valia a pena reclamar. Dormimos vestidos. Apenas não fiquem nesse hostel.
