"we just stayed for one night at the Hostel in a bunk room that had a private bathroom and 3 beds, perfect for 3. It was a fabulous location, 1/2 block from the beach, 2 blocks from the ferry station and a block from the ado bus station - which is what we needed for an early airport departure. Easy check in and check out, friendly staff. Overall, given the proximity to the main promenade and nearby bars, it was actually quieter than I expected, too - though we kept the fan on all night that...

"Close to everything! Expedia was a bit confusing with the receipt saying the room was already paid for... It wasn't. Not a big deal, and definitely not Wabi Hostel's fault. Room is clean, awesome staff! There's a paid parking lot two buildings down. We would book again next time we are in the area. "

"This was my first time staying at a hostel and I have to say it was an amazing experience :-) first of all the location was perfect because it was literally in the heart of the street of the center of Playa del Carmen. Right where all the restaurants, shops and the disco's are located. The hostel itself was like an enclosed jungle, even with a pool, very clean, very friendly staff and other guests. The room was very clean and modern and the air conditioning cooled the room quickly. I didn't get...

"I was not expecting having to pay a rent fee and deposit for my towel. Which would have not be a problem as long as it was mentioned before booking. Employees had an attitude when I asked basics about the property, giving me very short to no answers. It was like I was supposed to know the place and how things work around there. Air conditioning was not working properly in the shared room (I complained about it and they were like... it works fine.😂😂😂) so I decided to upgrade to a private...

"フェリーターミナル、ADOのターミナルに歩いても3分で、まちの賑わいの中にあるなど、ロケーションは最高ですが、部屋のつくり、清潔さなどオススメできるような感じではありません。また、エクスペディアから支払いだと思ってたのに、予約だけと言われ、支払いさせられました。二重に払ってないか?と気分が悪いです。今もスッキリしません。 どっちなのか、はっきりさせて、解決をお願いします。"

"Although the hostel is close the the beach, I find the neighborhood a bit shady, uncomfortable to walk late at night. There's AC that's it's turned on at 11pm and the room gets a bit cold, I was ok with it, but others might not be. There's a lot of noise at night from other guests which makes it hard to sleep early. I also woke up with bedbug bites. The restrooms had a bad smell but they do get clean in the morning. The pool is really small, more like a decoration than an actual pool. The...
