Home away from Home
I was able to get up in the morning. Breakfast starts at 9am, but I usually need to leave before then. Starting this week I will be working remotely so I will make breakfast.Its pretty laid back and simple home like living here. Home away from home.

Its friendly here, authentic hostel and homey feel
Its a friendly environment here. Currently there is a global emergency unfolding but everything is calm with a small number of people so the stresses of sick people due to large numbers isn't at this place so much.

Great Hostel and Great Location
Over all it was a very good hostel, great location for Downtown, very clean and well maintained. Quiet and comfortable as well. The only thing that stops it getting full marks is there wasn't always a member of staff around when I needed one, but this is minor and I would recommend this hostel.

Frightening experience TO the hostel.
To the owner of this property: PLEASE absolutely check its listings on all the maps apps. After we got into the Cancun bus station, we followed Apple Maps to get ourselves to this hostel which said would be a 30-minute walk. It took us further up north, a shady part of town. We absolutely got lost and panicked, because the management did not make sure this property had the correct address listed on all the maps apps. The hostel was fine, but who knows what might have happened had we not run into a cab driver (barely any were coming by that area).
