This was my first time staying at a hostel and I have to say it was an amazing experience :-) first of all the location was perfect because it was literally in the heart of the street of the center of Playa del Carmen. Right where all the restaurants, shops and the disco's are located. The hostel itself was like an enclosed jungle, even with a pool, very clean, very friendly staff and other guests. The room was very clean and modern and the air conditioning cooled the room quickly. I didn't get a chance to eat the complimentary breakfast because I stayed out too late dancing at the disco's but the communal kitchen was clean and the other guests were respectful of the space. Even after the breakfast was over the staff let me use the coffee machine to brew my own coffee. I will definitely stay this hostel if I come back to Playa del Carmen! I highly highly recommend it!!
The hostel is at the city center and those people i met over there were awesome. The hole hostel pre-game together and went to the party together - good energy, good vibes. Would recommend this hostel for backpackers who are down to meet some internationals.

Its a hotel/backpacker hostel hybrid
The hostel is located in a very central area which was a plus. The only things that were bad with our stay there was the poor wifi connection throughout the hotel and the lack of hot water for almost all of our stay.
The staff here are top notch, grounds and room well maintained and clean. Easy breezy atmosphere to just hang out. Community kitchen is great for the budget traveler. If noise is an issue for you, this is probably not the place for you. Visiting and nearby disco can go on until early morning hours and quiet will depend on the location of your room within the hotel and guests at the time. Doesn't matter to me, the hostel is charming and secure.
Great atmosphere, the staff is so friendly and helpful, you can hang out at the bar and meet people form all over the world, plus is located in the middle of Playa del Carmen's nightlife.
Can't wait to be back to hostal MX
Had a private room for three people (2 double beds). The room was adequate though nothing special. The inner courtyard is perfect for backpackers as it creates a social environment for people to meet and hang out. The hammocks were a great touch.
Location is perfect...it's right off the main pedestrian avenue in Playa. The buildings are tucked back away from the street, so there is some sound dampening, though a fair warning that the hostel bar plays its own loud music well into the night.
We were able to have our pet stay with us here. The mattresses were clean and new. The Linens at the window were fresh and clean and The air conditioner worked well.

Very loud position. Pretty garden. Staff not particularly helpful.
Hostel/hotel fitting for families or single travelers. Darn good mattress, usually hard to find. Great place to hang out all day and central to any excursion. Staff are five star.
Das Personal im Hostel ist jung und motiviert, ich war dort rundum zufrieden. Die Stimmung war trotz Covid im Hostel gut, es war tatsächlich möglich die letzten Tage vor meinem Rückflug den Urlaub zu genießen. Es wurde täglich auch ein überraschend leckeres Abendessen angeboten.
Preis/Leistung war vollkommen in Ordnung, ich komme gerne wieder.
Emplacement idéal très beau extérieur!!par contre chambre sommaire et pas très propre mais bon vu le prix c'est pas trop étonnant... bon séjour en tout cas
Excelente lugar para pasar una semana descansando y conociendo personas de todos las partes del mundo , al ser mi primera vez en un hostal , me sentí maravilloso
Muy buen servicio, el lugar esta muy limpio y el staff es super friendly, recibimos muy buena atención. Aspectos por mejorar, el desayuno debería ser mas variado. En general una muy buena experiencia:)
Muy bueno ubicación , el desayuno más o menos , puede estar mejor . Las camas muy duras y almohada es una roca . El personal muy atento . Mucho ruido de música hasta la madrugada , si vas de fiesta está bien , para descanso no.
