Pool area is great, really relaxing and big enough to share with lots of people! There is a couple of service stations/mini marts 2 mins walk away, and a couple of bigger supermarkets 5-10 mins walk away. lots of street food close which was delicious, and very close to other food bar options. approx 20 mins cab (600 peso) to the beach zone. stayed in an 8 bed dorm which was spacious enough, huge lockers!

Great group of staff at the hostel, very easy to meet other travelers, & there is always something fun going on. WiFi was good for working during the day as well.

n/a

clean and comfortable rooms with good AC

pool very small, very shaded, would have been nice to have more light coming into common space

Amazing staff amazing vibe for solo travellers Deya I love you

Nothing

loved the vibe and the staff made a real effort to get everyone partying and chatting in the evening. booked a last minute tour through them and it was all super easy and helpful!

water pressure in the shower in my private room was abysmal. not what you expect for nearly £100 per night. otherwise the room was comfortable and good! it is noisy until about midnight, but I slept through it on the night I wanted peace, so no problem for me but not good if you’re a light sleeper! adding 4% to pay by card is a bit cheeky - bring cash!

Location - very good location for central Tulum surrounded by restaurants and stores. far from the beach (more than one hours walk or by taxi) so it depends what’s more important to you, of course we knew it was in the town so this suited us. They do run excursions to the beach occasionally. Rooms - The private double room we took was small and simple. It was good that it had aircon and mosquito nets on the windows. They also provided shampoo and conditioner. Major cons below. Social life - it is social, but in a frat boy way. All the games involve body shots, kissing strangers, saying your favourite s*x position, etc. So depends on if that is your vibe or not.

Incredibly noisy - the hostel complex is small so all rooms are surrounding the pool and bar area. The fact they play very loud music until late (1am) is not the issue, as it’s a hostel with a bad so there are certain expectations - it’s that every night, people come back from partying and blast music on portable speakers and scream at full volume until 4-5am. Then, at 8am, breakfast in the bar opens and they start playing their own loud music. You get maybe two hours of sleep. It would be great if the hostel staff could stop such loud behaviour outside rooms all night, and keep breakfast quieter. Forced to pay 5% extra - If you book on booking.com, you will be asked to provide a card and it says payment will be taken in full before you arrive. This does not happen, it is only a damage deposit. We were asked to pay the full amount in cash on arrival. I didn’t have €400 of cash in pesos so they took my passport. Finally they let me pay by card but with a 5% card fee! I argued that this was not the terms of my booking but they did not care. The amount also changed by $150 which they blamed on local tax rate changing - okay, but wouldn’t be an issue if they took the money when I booked like they were supposed to. The girl on the reception desk waived half of this increase as a gesture, yet on check-out a different colleague just asked us to pay it - no communication. Staff - Quite unfriendly and don’t care about issues. No info given at check-in (such as Wifi, time of breakfast, excursions) and we were meant to get bracelets that are needed to pay at the bar (you top them up with money and they entitle you to a free welcome drink) but no one provided these. When I finally got one, she charged me for my welcome drink by mistake and said it could not be refunded. We also only got one access key between the two of us, meaning we could never separate.

The place was amazing, good set up and location. Facilities were amazing, staff friendly and it was affordable. Will definitely be back we were recommend this hostel and definitely will recommend to people. Amazing place.

Spacious hostel, very kind staff, wonderful activities, affordable. Extra showers and washrooms on the ground level. Very social party hostel.

booked a private suite, got a room/suite in a shared apartment. other guest was in the living room/common area on her phone (on speaker) until 2.30am..

activities the place the people

the were not ready to make an compromise

nice for connecting with people. good area to work

stuff could be friendlier. Bycicles are not in form. Overprized

This is the perfect location for twenty year olds who want to party and meet people, or older people who behave just the same xD You've got the option to go for private suites (quite costly really), or the bed bunks as I did. The facilities of both are quite amazing, and there is a daily assortment of activities, parties, or tours that are organised by CHE Tulum. Parties go mostly till half midnight, which I find respectful towards those who also want to sleep :)

Forget quality sleep. I booked a hostel's bed bunk for 6 nights, and ended up checking out 2 nights before time to simply sleep elsewhere uninterruptedly. Dorms are mixed, and I ended up being awoken at 2h30 in the morning by 2 or 3 who began having sex in the toilet, or climbing together to the upper bed bunk, who would leave the main door open (so, the fresh air of the night and the noise outside would wake you up yes or yes). Things like this.... I know this is a bit beyond the control of the Hostel (which I also don't think it's their attitude to control much), but to me, I was done with the place after 3 nights. Don't recommend longer unless you're really a party animal who wants to sleep till noon somewhat collapsed on a swing bed.

The place is so nice, crazy vibes, crazy party with crazy people Cool activities, so easy to meet other people if you are a solo traveler one of the best experience in my life

Loved this place, staff were amazing, it was my friends birthday and we got free shots on arrival.

The day trips every day and meet and greets/parties every night were a great way to meet new people. I liked the WhatsApp group. Hot tub is open late night. The bed mattresses were comfy. It was good that they had a beach towel for rent for 50 pesos. I'd recommend staying there Thursday - Sunday. Leave on Monday.

The shower was awful although the Che in Playa Del Carmen was worse. I was in fem 4 the floor of the shower was flooded and would make the entire shower floor wet and dirty. I was in a bottom bunk but the bed frame would creek each time the above person would toss and turn. The towel I was given had a few holes in it. Food was average I don't recommend. They didn't have black tea or english breakfast which is a standard for non coffee drinkers. Staff were ok but felt like you were bothering them if you had any questions.

this hostel has great amenities, nice social area, tha layout just kind of makes sense, there's an ATM too which wasnt in the other Che hostels, the rooms were also a bit more spacious than the other Che's I stayed at, plus its super social, you'll meet so many great people every day and you can book great tours right through the hostel

only thing is the music is loud every night and its tough to sleep without ear plugs or sleeping aid.. they do shut it off at 1am though, but this is what you get in every mexican hostel, especially the Che's as they're so social and party-ish

This is defo a party hostel so stay here to make friends and have a good time. Breakfast is decent for 140 pesos. Staff were nice They have events running every evening and excursions on almost daily basis

Depending on who is staying in your room, it could get messy. I don't think my room got cleaned more than once in the week I stayed there so I opted to shower in the outside showers. Fortunately, the majority of my housemates were clean so at least the communal space was respected. They need to clean the pool. Didn't go in as you can see the dirt skirting around

Free drinks :)

sometimes too noisy

Great party vibes, clean facilities, good location. I’d stay here again.

The food quality was okay for the price.
