Staff was unfriendly... rude and tried to charge for every little thing. Breakfast was awful, rooms uncomfortable, AC intermittent and weak (they wouldn't even turn it on at night... I woke up sweating), breakfast was weak coffee and stale cereal (chose to walk and pay for breakfast at a restaurant, despite our tight budget). Location was good, but not worth... More

Whose wise idea was it to build a hotel in a dis-used shopping complex? By scrimping money on air-con, the hotel is like a sauna during the day - only without the comforts. We asked for a private room. Unfortunately, their idea of private means walking through a 14 man dorm full of middle aged blokes wearing speedos to a... More

I rented a private room with bathroom mainly because the thought of sharing a bathroom grosses me out, but this place is awful. Don't get me wrong, I know this is a hostel and I have travelled and stayed in many hostels all over but this place is gross. The bed was so soft only god knows how old the... More

At 220pesos a night (20$ us), I will pay the extra money to be a 5min walk to Beach access by Coco Bongo and all the clubs! You can get other hostels for 100-130pesos but they are a bus ride away in Cancun City proper. The rooms are fairly big (22 beds) but nicely divided up, and I found the... More

I booked a 3 night stay at this place primarily because of the location. The location was indeed great as it is only about a 15 minute walk to a main strip of clubs, shops and restaurants, and at $20 a night it was a bargain compared to the hotels. Other pros were the staff was nice and it had... More

My luggage was delayed after flying into Cancun and I needed a hotel in Cancun quickly. I picked this out of the guidebook so that we could get to the beach! The hostel is actually in an old mall. It means the things are a bit awkward by times. There is no main sitting/relaxing area. Pros: One of the only... More

THis hostel is very nice. You are in zona hoteleira, 15 minutes walking from the best discos in Cancun. Cheap, very clean, good wifi connection and a a very nice staff that is always helping you to not spend your money with expensive tour, showing better options...

As the only hostal in the 'Hotel Zone' of Cancun, Hostal Mayapan is away from the hustle of downtown, yet somewhat awkwardly situated among numerous enormous hotels- both an advantage and a disadvantage. What is lacking in location is overwhelmingly made up in its welcoming host, ready to assist you with anything you may need. The rooms are tidy and... More
