They do have aircon in the rooms that they say is programmed so it can only be turned on after 9pm (what?) so we did and in at 6.30am some guy working there just barged in and took the remote for the aircon and turns it off.. That was really strange? The hostel in okay besides being way to hot... More

Stayed here in November 2011- I stayed in a large dorm at the front of the building, with large windows and lots of light. The room was spotless and well presented, with a private bathroom attached for our dorm, meaning you didn't have to leave the room to shower or use the bathroom like at some other hostels. The front... More

Overall, Hostel 3B is one of the best hostels I've ever been to. Front desk staff are really nice and helpful. The location is really good, being on one end of the 5th avenue, really close to the Cozumel ferry port. The bathrooms were really nice. The WiFi is really good, but the only problem is that you can't use... More

I stayed for two nights from 20-20 February 2012, but my first night in a sticky 8 bed dormitory (room 4) without any windows was interrupted by bedbugs feeding on my hand and body in the middle of night. Despite changing to a free bed at the opposite corner of the room, they were climbing up on the wall as... More

Hostel 3B is da bomb! This place is spotless. The beds are super comfy and laid out in a way that you feel as if you have some privacy. There are single and double bunk beds available & if you book the double you receive two HUGE lockers - so for long term travellers who may be carrying around extra... More

I have backpacked for three months through Mexico, this has been my least favourite place. Pro: very clean, has a decent kitchen, good bed, large locker. Cons: no real common area, just a few benches off the kitchen. WiFi only works here, not upstairs in rooms. I read somewhere (maybe hostelbookers) they had an "amphitheatre" like tv/lounge room-there is nothing... More

As advertised, the hostel is very clean and modern in its decor. It is rather spartan, however, in terms of its facilities...there isn't even a clock anywhere on the wall. A congested common area consists of five small slide-in tables and benches. The only other places to sit include a second floor sofa, and two chairs in the reception area.... More

I think that this new hostel will soon find its way to the top of guide book recommendations Pros:. It's major draw is that it is clean and well organized! It has comfortable beds, with small individual reading lights. Each dorm has its own bathroom. Full kitchen for guest use, cont. breakfast available for purchase, board games, wifi. The reception...

Hostel 3B is one of the nicest and cleanest hostels I've ever stayed in, not to mention one of the most stylish ones. Beds are big, sturdy (so no earth quake impression when someone climbs to the upper one in the middle of the night) and really confortably with very good quality pillows and mattresses, kitchen is well equipped (with...

Comparing the different hostels all over Yucatan Hostel 3B is one of the best. Its really really really clean and special due to its design. The beds are comfortable and organized as dorms. Big lockers that even fit a huge backpack are provided. The bathrooms are hotel style and also really clean (during our stay the cold water wasn't running,... More
