I just recently left hostel 3b after a six night stay that was only supposed to be two nights. Travelling alone. I was impressed and it was one of the better hostels I've stayed at. Clean for the most part and kind staff, though I wasn't sure on the fact that only one staff member, other than yvan, spoke conversational... More

the place was great and i loved the ambiance.... very good for festivals or casual holidays. Cheers. Playa del Carmen is also a prime location for vacations. Music festivals are one of the key attributes of this place beginning January and end of december.

We were SO disappointed about this hostel... The beds were confortable, but they didn't change the sheets... so mine were very dirty. The showers and toilets were more than disgusting. The smell was horrible. They say it has A/C... but in fact, they put it only between 1am and 3am. In the packed dorm of 12, the temperature was very... More

The location was perfect. About 3 blocks from the beach, around the corner from the bus stop, 2 blocks from 5th ave, steps away from a "modern" shopping plaza (with Starbucks), and 2 blocks away for a more "local" feel. The common room was kept clean by staff almost 2x daily, the rooms at least once. The atmosphere and theme... More

Hey, for $13USD, I haven't found anything nicer. Clean, quiet, respectful. The "chill" environment created by the strategic lighting, helps you have a relaxed attitude. Fernando and the other staff at the front desk are super friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are nicely done. Good job!

We have several groups of families and friends coming later on this year and thought we might habe a look at the different accommodation options in playa del carmen. Wen we asked for a room to visit, we got asked by an elderly man with glasses if we want to stay also. Obviously we told him that we for now... More

They do have aircon in the rooms that they say is programmed so it can only be turned on after 9pm (what?) so we did and in at 6.30am some guy working there just barged in and took the remote for the aircon and turns it off.. That was really strange? The hostel in okay besides being way to hot... More

Stayed here in November 2011- I stayed in a large dorm at the front of the building, with large windows and lots of light. The room was spotless and well presented, with a private bathroom attached for our dorm, meaning you didn't have to leave the room to shower or use the bathroom like at some other hostels. The front... More

Overall, Hostel 3B is one of the best hostels I've ever been to. Front desk staff are really nice and helpful. The location is really good, being on one end of the 5th avenue, really close to the Cozumel ferry port. The bathrooms were really nice. The WiFi is really good, but the only problem is that you can't use... More
