After 5 months of travel through south and central america we ended our trip in Cancun due to the cheap flights to LA and then back home. We were not overly excited about Cancun, an American tourist trap with beautiful white beaches riddled with disgracefully large resorts. Hostel Quetzal is in Centro Cancun (downtown), its about 5-10min bus ride to... More

The rooms are booked in Poland over the Internet. Unfortunately, the bias on the links between the Polish and Mexico, after arrival at the hostel on the first night we got two rooms instead of just one, but it was not a problem. Hostel has been given such good reviews it has, a family atmosphere. Very nice owner and helpful.... More

I stayed three nights all together in a large dormitory from 18-20 February, and 2-3 March 2012. They have a pleasant garden, a nice Mexican breakfast with tropical fruits, and Mexican dinner included in the price. The senior staff member is most helpful in providing advice to travellers. The common rooms are clean. Only, air conditioning was a little bit... More

This hostel is one of the best places I have stayed at while traveling in Mexico. The location is good, in a walking distance from the main square and little stores where you can buy souvenirs. The staff is really friendly and, what is really great; the price includes breakfasts and delicious dinners, when you can meet other travelers. Drinking... More

The hostel is located in a really good area and the hostel facilities are good. However, if you don't like the typical "party hostels" (like I don't), with no proper character, and were the atmosphere is to try to get as drunk as possible at their own bar upstairs....this s not the place for you. I was there in September... More

Really great, the breakfast and dinner are tops and a great way to socialise. They'll take you out to the clubs on an evening if you want. The staff make this place your home away from home! Hot Water did stop for a few hours but they did fix it pretty quick. More
