    Very helpful virtual host, clean and quiet dorms, not a “party” Hostal. The location close to Centro but a little off the main drag and very walkable for a solo traveler. Shares the building with a dive business so would be amazing for divers.

    Great hostel, very cute - has a nice pool for the hot days! Location is also nice since it's away from the city center and you get to venture into the "real" Playa Del Carmen.

    liked the hotel because it was small and was social given that it was a hostel versus being in a hotel room alone and by yourself in a large complex or hotel building; i think the facilities were dated but clean and ALL was fine, staff was cool...
