I read some of these reviews and nearly didn't come here which I think is incredibly unfair on the hostel and the people who run it. For anyone who is thinking of staying here, let me some it all up and put to bed any doubts. First off, this is a HOSTEL, NOT a HOTEL. They were created for young... More

NIght desk man (?) maybe also the lame poolman who lies and is a xxxxer ! Rules only apply to guests - not to him or his deadbeat girlfriends. When he is not hanging on some skanky wench he attempts to woo any female traveler. Sleezy describes him also ! He tries to act like a manager yet has no... More

I paid equivalent price for a private room w ensuite in the Hostel Catedral in Mexico City (USD$35) last week and while it was a smaller room & had no AC- it was much cleaner, more secure, more professionally run etc. This room is very basic and the shower is clean enough which is fine but it all feels (the...

This hotel was really a low point in our trip. I would not stay there again. The room had no windows, just a bed with a stained mattress, sheets and towels that were not very clean and a dirty mosquito net patched with a band-aid. I mean, come on.

Thinking the cleaners might have picked them up, I asked at reception but was told that was not possible (so cleaners took... More

Luckily we only stayed one night at this hostel, it is very basic and the breakfast is poor. Staff arent very helpful and showers are cold but it is close to buses and some shops. Nice pool area. More

One of the best value-for-money hostels I've ever stayed in. Stayed in a private double with air-con, bathroom w/ hot water, cable tv, free towels, excellent free breakfast, full kitchen, nice pool with lounge chairs and hammocks, and free internet, for under $15/person/night. Very clean, friendly staff to let you in all hours of the night, very secure, good location,... More

After we turned up at Hostel el Meson de Tulum and were told our room burnt down........... On our return to the UK I obviously asked "HostelWorld" for a refund (a mere £5). HostelWorld refused to refund us saying we had to contact the hostel direct (which is ridiculous). The hostel then LIED and said they'd offered us refund when... More
