Super cute place! The location was excellent, only a five minute walk from the R-1 line that takes you to the beaches. The keeper was also so nice and helpful, suggesting beaches and giving us information on the city. I’d highly recommend to any travelers going to Cancun and looking for a comfortable place in the city center.

What I loved the most was the save location. It was easy to get back home and I felt save even during the night. The house is in a neighborhood what makes it very calm. There was a park in front of it and its close to ADO, the supermarket and several restaurants. If you like a friendly place, this is it! Special thanks to the owners, they're very nice and incredibly helpful.

Ostello abbastanza pulito, titolare molto cordiale e gentile nel spiegarti e nel indicarti dove andare a mangiare nei dintorni. La stanza nostra era matrimoniale, molto semplice ( attenzione alle spine per chi venisse dall'Europa come noi perché serve l'adattatore). Bagno comune per tutti e dispone di 6 stanze 1 di 7 letti a castello, cucina a uso di tutti e dei tavoli. E per chi volesse rilassarsi c'è alche la tv e divano.

Sin lugar a dudas, fue un gran ACIERTO llegar a este hostel. Las instalaciones están bien, pero lo más destacable del lugar es la tremenda calidez del personal. Una atención sumamente esmerada y una permanente intención de brindar el mejor servicio. La anfitriona Graciela fue hermosa con nosotros, un matrimonio con niños, que llegamos por una noche y terminamos quedándonos más tiempo. Realmente es MUY RECOMENDABLE. El mayor de los éxitos, a este nuevo lugar que tiene la mejor energía.
