Hot in Tulum

It was so hot and the fans didn't help. Apparently only the hotel part has air conditioning, not the hostel. Plus, there were mosquito nets around the beds which were needed because of all the mosquitos, but it made it even hotter. Very uncomfortable stay.

Fine fortune or two nights

Stay was fine but they played loud dance music of dubious quality until 11.00pm. When we wanted to sit at the front to drink a beer we had bought from the local supermarket we were told we had to move to the back of the hotel area behind a fence with no view of the road. Their bar at this time was completely empty so we were not doing any harm.

Nice place. Quiet.

It's a nice place.. Great access to the beaches and a few shops near bye. Staff are friendly. Place was very quiet when I was there so that might be good. Hotel overall is aesthetically pleasing. Only thing I did not like was the traffic going by at night. The road to the beach is pretty busy at all hours.

Centrally located and beautiful grounds

The comfort rooms at this place are a good alternative and reasonably priced. The grounds are very thoughtfuly arranged and there is a small pool. I really liked the location on Coba road. It's on the edge of town and on the road/bike path to the beach. Since we spend most of our time away day Tripp this was perfect as we only slept there. It seemed ok to hang with a good vide and community kitchen and nice restaurant and bar. No frills.

Good location and tricky neighbor

The hotel & hostel are located very good on the way to the beach and zona hotelara. Unfortunately hotel part is next to the neighborhood that is loud for most of the day and night. Lack of the window, mirror under the shower (in place of the window) and tiny hole in the wall in the bedroom, makes you fell like there's a party at your place for most of the day and night.

Ubicacion inmejorable!

Hermoso lugar para dormir en Tulum. Si te gusta el estilo mochilero y no tienes problemas para compartir espacios este es el lugar perfecto. Conocerás mucha gente interesante. La ubicación es inmejorable y las personas que lo atienden son amables. Ambiente íntimo. Puedes usar la piscina para refrescarte después de un caluroso día y también las mañanas tomar un café en la galería techada con vista al jardín. Limpio y con todo lo necesario.

Très bon rapport qualité prix.

Très joli petit hôtel, la personne a l’accueil est très sympa. La chambre en béton fait à la fois moderne et jolie. Il n’y a pas de parking mais on peut se garer devant l’hotel facilement Seuls petit bémol : les alentours pas vraiment charmants, il faut se déplacer pour faire des achats et un peu de musique tard le soir.

Très mauvais hôtel, situé à un carrefour très très passant et bruyant. Les chambre sont juste des petites cases, carrelage cassé ou dalle, pas propre et vetuste. Bref, grosse arnaque au regard du prix. Nous ne sommes même pas restés.
