Our HostelWorld bookings were never even entered, so we ended up having to stay in the dorm instead of a private suite, though we were offered a 5-bed dorm to ourselves in another hostel. A friend got bedbugs. They are fixing it up nicely, but I wouldn't stay again after not being able to sleep through squeaky bunk beds.close

Pretty average for a hostel. Rooms are apartment sized and have kitchenettes which is great for longer stays. However, kitchen supplies are as varied and random as imaginable (think potatoe masher but only 1 glass). Fantastic location, catchy name.

I have a pretty high ick tolerance, but for those that need spotless and pristine, this isn't the place. Air-conditioned rooms where a treat to walk into after the heat of Playa del Carmen.

Great hostel and lovely staff. Although I did not mind, there were men staying in the female room, so if staying in a same sex room is important to some guests, they might not enjoy this place.

Excellent location one block from the main avenue and two from the beach. My dormitory bed was really big. Quiet from 23:00.
