although the paint is flaking and the taps drip a little, the hostel represents great value for your dollar. We had an excellent stay, enjoying a spacious room, decent Wi-Fi, plenty of hot water, our own refrigerator because we stayed for almost a month, and very amenable hosts. The location is very convenient being just a couple of blocks from... More

This is going to be a rather short rating: We stayed for three nights in Hostel Kankun, Cancun, Mexico. The rooms are clean, the matresses aren't. There is a kitchen on the first floor, which serves its purpose. The kitchen and the bathrooms are simple and clean as well. The staff is nice and helpful, though they don't speak much... More

We just used this place as a place to land after arriving in the night. The owner was very friendly, gave us tips on where to eat and get buses etc. Rooms are what you expect for this price in Cancun but the beds were clean, pretty comfy and appeared safe. Decent location too. Good for cheapskates, people in transit... More

We just took the cheapest room we could find online, and it was just as I thought it would be. The service was good, since we arrived late evening on Christmas Eve, and the owner (?) was there to open the door and show us the room and facilities. He spoke English well enough. The room was a double with... More

This place is 5$ for one room with like 4 beds in it ! And that is what you should consider when going to a place like this. Our expectations were incredibly low, so we were genuinely positively surprised to find that it was`nt too bad. I quite enjoyed this place actually. This is how a Mexican hotel room should... More

For two people this price is cheap. It took us some time to find it though. The over all place is old but truly you cant expect much from this place for $5 per person Room was spacious, we got 3 beds in one room and the bathroom was almost next to our room. Good water pressure for showers.

Its not expensive for what its worth. Clean bed, the owner is nice, theres a fridge in our room (i think others share a fridge though). It is very noisy in the morning (dogs and birds) cause you cant shut the windows. Floor is not so clean and showers mostly cold but it is a very good location (10 minutes... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks and there is no A/C. I was sleeping in sweat and it is not worth the $5 dollars. You should just pay $10 more to Hotel Sotavento. I was too hot to move though. There is no roof when walking down stairs. The dining area is terrible and filthy, but I see a lot of... More
