I arrived today in playa del carmen only to realise that Selina Playa del Carmen is temporary closed. No information has been given by neither 'expedia.com or the hotel/hostel. Very disappointing. Thank god I was able to find quickly a place to stay.

The starting point to other who read this :this is a hostel, so if you are in a shared room, do not expect to be as if you were on a private hotel room with full service. My experience was excellent, great environment, people/guests, clean swimming pool, great area to stay in.

The place is fantastic, the environment is very chill, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. It was very cool that they had a good barber inside the hostel. The breakfast was excellent too, it is definitely worth paying for. The only con was that the water in the shower was always cold.

Excellent vibes

I would give the staff 9/10 and the vibes 10/10 however the only thing that was off were the rooms were not very comfortable and the airconditioning wasnt on until 10 pm and was automatically on 24 degrees so i was barely able to sleep as it was super hot

Selina felt really commercialized. While the other hostels in town were much more warm and friendly, here the staff were there to churn through guests. The common space is the only positive here - the pool and bar areas were really nice. The bathrooms were constantly disgusting, there is super loud music until 3am every night in the surrounding clubs, the private room lacked the basics. Very very overpriced compared to the nice hotels nearby. I also don’t understand how there’s a coworking space when the music is so loud.

Disliked: Amenities
The positives: close to everything and walking distance to the Cozumel Ferry, bus station, mall, restaurants, very imaginable activity and strong WIFI available in public areas; however not on rooms. They have many activities for the guest, like dancing & Karaoke, so if you don't need to work remotely, and are young and on vacation, this is a good place to stay. As a digital nomad, it was difficult to work in public areas due to the noise level, lack of outlets, and uncomfortable sitting. Needs improvement in the following areas: They have a work area but you need to pay in addition to the already expensive lodging prices. The kitchen is dirty, does not have basic necessities, like adequate space, dishes & utensils or working sinks. the sinks are always full of water, dirty dishes, fridge super full, no peace to put your things. I had a private space but paid higher prices than in nicer hotels. the only reason I stayed here was for the WIFI but it was still difficult to work or sleep due to the noise level. There are plenty of nicer hotels at a less expensive prices

Great location close to ferry & “downtown”. Typical set of wandering millennials, loud music by pool late into night, but bring ear plugs & you’re night. Daytime staff was much friendlier & accommodating than night staff. Pretty much a true hostel - you get a bedsheet, but no towels & no breakfast (despite front desk arguments from another hosteler who was convinced it was advertised). Nice pool, dining area, & bar.

Would not stay again.

My boyfriend and I thought it would be fun to do one night at a hostel for the party and shenanigans. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into. We got a single room with shared bathroom and the bed was ungodly uncomfortable. Like you better get wasted because you will not sleep otherwise. The bed sheets feel like a mix of plastic wrap and wax. I love Selina for the facilities, so I was surprised at just got horrible the bed and room was. There was a bright light directly on our window that shined the entire night. The hostel itself is cute and centrally located. If you want to party all night and don’t want to sleep. Like at all. This is your place.
