I read that monkey hostel was a good option in my Rough Guide to Mexico. They probably didnt actually check it out because it didnt seem to match their description. The "dorm" was the size of a normal double room, very cramped. Luckily I was the only one their so I wasnt bothered. But when i returned later that evening,... More

I barely ever write reviews but I thought this place justified one. My two friends and I arrived in Campeche and told the taxi to take us to Monkey Hostel. The description of the hostel in the Lonely Planet sounded great. The taxi takes us to a door above it is a sign for Monkey Hostel. Upon entering the hostel... More

Given Lonely Planet's recommendation, and the standard of other many Mexican hostels (which have been great), we were very disappointed in this hostel. The bathrooms aren't clean, with cockroaches and no hot water, but the kitchen was fine. Also, the dorms have a shared balcony with doors that don't lock. The wifi didn't really work, and was slow when it... More

After 2 months of travelling through all of Mexico, this is the worst hostel I have ever seen. The hostel is full of mosquitoes, the bathrooms are in appalling condition (no soap, no paper towel, huge deep cracks in the shower base, smells aweful since there are signs saying to put toilet paper in the bins and not to flush...

good service, efficient staff, nice facilities, excellent view of the zocalo, the fourth night I was the gift; that there is harmony with the other guests and staff is very very nice pd .. I highly recommend

really well located, right on the main square, but it's a bit grotty, the staff move a bit slow and the place could do with a fix up. has a common kitchen that's well equipped, wi-fi is pretty fast and free. shared bathroom needs to be cleaned more often and there was no hot water (but not a big deal...

The location is fabulous, juste in front of the cathedral, it's fantastic. And there's a good view also from the rooftop. And the double room with the little balcony is so nice. This is the only good thing with the cheap price. It was not really clean, staff was not really helpfull and don't even try to speak english and... More

Lonely planet need to remove this hostel from the guide. At the price for a double room really poor value. Far better hostels in Campeche for less. Try the other ones first. Filthy bathrooms. Holes in the walls, mould everywhere, burnt out electrical cables hanging down, torn towels(basically rags) and mould mattress with stained sheets. No breakfast. Real hot. At... More

This hostel is right in the centre of Campeche, great location with lovely views of the Zocalo. We made a reservation with one of the leading hostel companies and they advised me to re confirm by telephone before arriving there, I did this and spoke to Antonio who ensured me that we had a booking, however when we arrived there...
