Bathroom was not good, towels looked 20 years old and no duvet offered, just thin bed sheets. Staff was very helpful though and the Italian restaurant beside it was delicious, but the place needs serious renovation/maintenance.

The location was great if you want to be out and about. It’s quit loud at night but easy to ignore. The main issues are the actual hotel. My first room smelled of bleach and fresh paint. I could see large dark spots that had been just covered before I got there. The shower head needed a deep cleaning and there was very little water pressure that barely got warm. The tv didn’t work even after they replaced it and the bathroom above us was leaking down through the light fixture. Took 2 days for them to offer us a new room. Every morning around 7:30 a dog that sounded to be in the courtyard would bark constantly for about 3 hours and hotel staff would start yelling back and forth at each other right outside of the doors. The doors themselves didn’t seal so light and sound would come right through. It was incredibly loud after 7am. The staff was nice but the hotel needs to be upgraded and the staff need to respect people sleeping. I had a toddler with me so it was incredibly hard in the mornings with so many people talking and talking outside the door. There were also multiple nights where other guests were drinking and being incredibly loud in the courtyard. Everything was covered in a fine layer of sand even when I first got to the room and the sheets were changed. I had to sleep in sweats each night just so I didn’t feel the grit when I slept.

If you're looking for a basic, inexpensive place close to everything and you just need a place to sleep, this is a great spot! It is loud at night with noise from a nearby club. Staff was friendly and helpful, and staying here (as opposed to a more corporate environment) seems fitting for adventurous travelers on a budget.

Cute little property perfect for a Playa del Carmen quick trip. Stayed here for 3 nights. Within walking distance to 5ta Avenida, Coco Bongo, shopping, the beach, nightclubs and many restaurants. It is so close to all the action, that you WILL hear the music in your room! Of course, this is not the propertie's fault. Staff is friendly and attentive. Would stay here again.
