Cute little place within a 5 minute walk of tulum town. We had a room with a private bathroom and it was absolutely lovely and clean. Would definitely come back

Pool & loungers are fantastic. I will be back and will be bringing my tween son.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great dorms, first time solo travelling in a hostel. Felt very comfortable and safe. Felt private in the beds, nice and comfortable. Toilets and bathroom were clean. Whole building well maintained. Beautiful common rooms. Good breakfast deal, cheaper than most places. Events were plentiful and organised well to socialise and explore Tulum.

    Very nice hostel with a beautiful indoor area and pool. The dorms are spacious and the curtains in front of the beds are really comfortable. The location is also great because you can get to the center relatively quickly and walk to most things except the beach. There is a program every day, which means that as a solo traveler it's easy to meet new people :)

    Everything was just perfect. Alejandra is an absolute angel & she made sure that everyone (not just us) felt welcome and almost at home. When we arrived we got a Welcome Drink which was just amazing. The breakfast was unbeatable, the location is like a tiny paradise and the other employees are just as nice. Pool is a big plus and very Clean. You can rent a bike for noch charge to explore Tulum. Even when we left Alejandra made sure to tell us that we could contact her at any time if we need help during our travels. Best Hostel ever.

    If you love cats and dogs this is the best hostel. It's a cool concept and surprisingly comfy. The tubo was great, perfect amount of privacy at an affordable price. The location is super convenient for everything, the beach is a 10min bike ride away, and the ruins are a 10min bike ride away.

    Absolutely everything!! Would go back in a heartbeat Travelling as a solo female it is in the great location so close to the centre. The pool is small but perfect very relaxed vibes but sociable. It is modern, clean and well designed throughout,. Bed was super comfy and Aldo, Ellie and Jehiel were lovely! A home from home so was really hard to leave. Highly recommend and is up there with the best hostels I have stayed in. Would happily stay here again when back in Tulum
