We had a great stay at Red Panda hostel - easy check-in, helpful staff on-site and available & very responsive via WhatsApp. We received lots of great travel advice and free entry to Cenote Eden as part of our booking (easy trip via colectivo bus) - wonderful experience. The room was large, nicely decorated, and included sink & fridge. The location is very convenient, very close to ferry terminal, Quinta Avenida and ADO bus terminal. The water cooler was much appreciated.
On one night there was loud party music from a nearby venue - bring ear plugs. The other nights were fine.

Amazing location, close to the 5th Avenue
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2023
Very helpful virtual host, clean and quiet dorms, not a “party” Hostal. The location close to Centro but a little off the main drag and very walkable for a solo traveler. Shares the building with a dive business so would be amazing for divers.
Sadly bikes had been stolen so no bikes for rent anymore, though it is very walkable. I was not able to leave my luggage at the Hostal after checkout (11am) because they don’t have a front desk, so I purchased an extra night in the shared dorm to use the locker for the day.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2024
The beds were really comfy and also de pillow. The locker method is worthy and make things easy but the lack of staff is sth so weird.
There is no one around never, you can text them through WA but it didn’t fit the vibes from a hostel, tbh.
