    Christian let us stay at his hotel when hurricane Beryl was due to hit Tulum. We really appreciated this as our previous hotel had began shutting down with no information to guests of what they should do. Christian said we could stay, told us what to expect, told us we wouldn’t be alone, taped up the windows etc. He was such a nice guy and so were his family and their beautiful dog Yoda! Also the room was spacious and clean in a great location close to town in a quiet and safe street :)

    Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in Mexico during my 2-month trip! Everything was really clean, the rooms were really spacious, nice and with AC. The bathrooms and showers were also clean. Staff was really really friendly. I had the breakfast for only 5USD and it was AMAZING! There were so many activities everyday, I did the 8AM yoga and was really nice. I definitely recommend!

    Best hostel/hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Staff are so friendly and accommodating, breakfast avo toast was incredible and the temezcal ceremony was unlike anything I’ve ever done before. Perfect for solo travellers who want to slow down a little in a friendly relaxed space close to everything you might want to go to.

    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.

    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
