The property is very basic and lacking in basic things like hand towels, shower mats, face cloths, and decent linens. However it is a budget property and it serves this purpose adequately. Stains on the couch had me concerned as to what they could have been. Maid service one in our 7 night stay was a welcome feature.

This place is across the street from a loud strip club. No peace to be had extremely loud until 4am in the morning many nights of the week. The AC does not work when you leave the room and the ac is too small for this place so it is very very hot and uncomfortable. We also had a giant spider as big as my husbands hand in our room. Terrifying to say the least!!! Also the man that runs this place came into pur apartment when we were gone and we came back and cought him inside!!! He tried to tell us there was a problem with our toilet and he was going to come fix it . BUTTT creepily there was no problem and he never came back. This place was over priced and the most uncomfortable noisy hot place we stayed during our extended trip to Playa. The pool is also run down and nothing like the pics. This place looks much nicer in the photos than it actually is.

Receptionが,ないのでちょつと不便。(TELでの対応) 場所的には,周辺の通りに出れば食事処があり便利。Apartmentなので,Amenityは持参。
部屋は,1人だと充分だが,2人だと狭いかな。机は簡易手作りのため,貧弱です。屋上のPoolは,眺めもよく良かったです。

Good location. A 10 minutes walk to the beach and ADO bus station. Wifi worked great but in the room only. Rooftop pool was nice, not too crowded. Make sure you bring your own shampoo, soap and other products usually available on hotels/apartment rentals. It is a good find at a very cheap price. Would stay there again. Also bring hangers and hand towels if you need them as they were not provided either.

It was our first time renting a hotel apart from taking an all inclusive trip to Mexico. The place was clean and I like the architectural design of the building. A lady named Carmen was so nice she helped us for the entire check in. We were put in the room that has broken aircondition, Sam addressed the issue right away and we were transfer into another room. Room were clean and big enought for 2 guest. There are utensils, pots,pans and fridge. They change towels two times a week and a cleaning lady comes once a week to clean the room. There is also pool at the rooftop. Elevator was out of service so we have to climb the stairs everytime we wants to use the pool.
The location was accessible to eveything.
Overall I had an amazing stay at Irish Studio. I will definitely come back
Suggestions: maybe a safety deposit box for each room

Only thing is the AC cost extra and I wasn't used to that so it felt weird. Considering I always look for ac I have never had to pay cash to use it, after I made sure the room had it. It's a pain to pay cash.

Upon arrival the person I'm supposed to meet was a couple of minutes late. When showing me the apartment he said air conditioning was an extra cost and then took the remote would I would not pay. there were only two bath towels no washcloths for hand towels. Only one roll of toilet paper no spare.I was gone on tours for 2 days and ran out of toilet paper on my last day. The phone number I was given to contact somebody for the property did not work.. the day I wanted to use the pool the elevator to the rooftop did not work.

I booked a Gold studio. Description said it had a patio or balcony but IT DID NOT. Most other rooms do. It was also alongside the road and very noisy, and a/c would not cool the room much. There is also a daily a/c fee payable for your entire stay upon checkin in cash. You can actually book your stay without seeing that, unless you click to see the fine print before booking. When there are fees for a/c I understand why, but it should NEVER be in fine print and shame on Hotels.com or any other book site that permits this. It should be right there by a/c or in the main room description for all to see before booking.

It was nice having your own space with refrigerator and microwave, a pool on roof top w view, and walking distance to major stores (Walmart, Chedraui, mall, and more etc), ADO bus terminal, and to beach. Great deal!

Un departamento pequeño, restricciones en el uso aire acondicionado, luces, agua (disque ecológico) cama de baja calidad así como los blancos dela cama. Ubicado cerda de 2 que es prácticamente el centro y es un poco sucio. Locales bebiendo ó en estado de ebriedad por las calles y en algunos momentos se sentía no muy segura el area.

The apartment itself was really clean and great. Checkin was easy. I would definitely stay there again, except for the club that's right across the street. It was often very loud until 2:00 AM each night. I stayed in the Suite that was right at the front of the building, but I know that Iris rents some apartments that aren't at the front of the building, so those would be much quieter.

If you are looking for very affordable quality accommodation in the heart of Playa then you really shouldn't hesitate to book at Iris Studios. The building itself is newer, quiet and very safe and secure. The rooms are modern and tastefully decorated and have all the comforts. A very well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and super large shower is a highlight. The response from the check-in caretaker is quick and friendly and personal. I really enjoyed the amount of privacy in this building.
The location is close to everything you'll need plus the Walmart and Mega Store are almost literally around the corner.. and you are about a ten min stroll to the crazy fun of 5th ave!
Bonus: The ferry to Cozumel and the ADO Bus depot are easily accessible by foot as well! Pretty much a straight line to get there!!
I would definitely stay here again and would like to give a huge thumbs up to the property management for offering such a steal of a deal!!
Ps- if you want to enjoy Mexican television while relaxing in your room and English is your first language don't get frustrated! Most remotes in the area have an audio button where you can switch many of the programming offered to English!

We liked our stay at the IRIS but it was quirky. It's not like a normal hotel - it is more like staying at a vacation rental or someone's time share unit. You don't really deal with staff on a daily basis. The room was very nice with cooking facilities and a refrigerator. There is a nice pool on the top floor. It has a nice location, close to shopping, restaurants, and for those so inclined there is a men's club across the street. Parts of the block are run down but this building is very new.
Quirks - the wifi was horrible. We would stay connected for a few minutes and then be booted off for long stretches. Our bed looked like something out of a 70s disco movie - my wife took some photos of it - simply fascinating. It looked like we have silver foil on the headboard. There were only two towels in the entire unit so we had to use them for showering, drying dishes, and the beach.
I'm not making this up - there is no light switch in the bath room; it operates based on a motion detector. This drove my wife nuts. If you walked by the bathroom, the light went on. If you went into the bathroom, the light went on. If you sat on the throne for longer than a minute (or less) or were in the shower, the light would go off and I would hear my wife cuss when this happened. On the plus side, the best wifi reception was in the bathroom, so you could sit on the throne to read e-mails or check out the news and weather as long as you moved your leg or stood up every minute or so.

Place is decent and not too far from the beach, colectivos to Tulum, and food (great late night taco stand around the corner off Benetito Juarez and 40 Ave (next door to Dominoe's Pizza). The downside is that there is a loud strip club right across the street and half of the studio complex is currently under construction, so it wasn't very restful. The contact person Veronica was super nice and helpful for everything. I would stay here again when the construction is finished.

We enjoyed our stay at Iris Apartments. It was very close to Walmart, and other authentic restaurants. The apartments are pretty new and modern. We were very happy with the many kitchen utensils, we lacked nothing. We could also see the ocean from the roof. The pool is a real luxury..and often we were the only ones up there enjoying the breeze. We would definitely stay there again.

The accommodation is located close to beach, bus stop and even closer to two large shopping centres. Has adequate cooking facility for breakfast and light snack. Remember, this is not really a hotel in real sense of the word - it does not have permanent reception area. So be careful to inform any of the contact persons, your expected time of arrival and then call when you are at airport or at bus station before proceeding to the address. You will be met with a smile.
I stayed here for one week after passing a week in Cancun in February 2015. No regrets. if opportunity presents, I will not hesitate to return.
