This has to be the best hostel ever! Great atmosphere, clean, air conditioned. The back yard has a grill so you can cook your eggs in the morning and grill a burger in the evening. Lots of friendly people here and the atmosphere was really cool as well.All the staff are very friendly and helpful and theres a free bus... More

We moved from the Casa del Sol Hostel and stayed in a under maintained very basic private double in a separate building (no facilities) across the main road and around the corner. The room was not very nice and the building old and desolate. You have to carry your bedding including pillows and towels with you and return them at... More

This could be such a great place if the owners just invested a little more. The mattresses are really terrible with springs sticking out which make you scared to get pinched while you sleep. The bedclothes are terrible one piece thing with sheet and cover sawn together and sawn in pillow case. Very uncomfortable but I understand the benefit for... More

the longer you book to stay the cheaper it is per night. The rooms are great and there is a great big long family table where everyone hangs, cooks and drinks. you cannot bring your own alcohol into the hostel and you buy drinks by using a swipe card - so you bill gets HUGE without you realising. VERY dangerous... More

This is hostel is great for it's communal atmosphere, kitchen facilities and free extras such as water, wi-fi and a bus to the beach. It is particularly good for solo travelers. However, on our second night we suspected that the lines of bites on us were something other than mosquitoes and we soon discovered that our mattress was infested with... More

I only stayed one night, but I really enjoyed it. Only problem is the dorm rooms were a bit cramped. Otherwise, they have a great breakfast option (free breakfast, they provide eggs or pancake batter, etc and you cook it on their grill). They have free shuttles to the beach. The people are nice and helpful. Definitely do the cave... More

I spent neary a week at The Weary Traveler Hostel and didn't want to leave. Like they state on their website: the guests stay longer than they planed and so did I. Eventhough there are always people in the beautiful courtyard and you can get to know a whole bunch of backpackers from al over the world, you can relax... More

The Weary Traveler in Tulum, Mexico, is a popular spot with backpackers largely due to the free bus to the beach and its proximity to the Mayan ruins. The outdoor communal areas are excellent (unless it rains) – and more than make up for the cramped dorms. There’s a large kitchen with fridges, toasters and a barbecue where guests can... More

Having read a few of the references on here, I'm not quite sure what people are expecting from a hostel in Mexico, it definitely isn't of equal standard to a 1st world country. We stayed here for 3 nights whilst working out which cabanas to stay in on the beach. The reason it was a little long for Tulum non... More
