It’s a quaint property and handy to many amenities. The bed is very hard, if you like a firm
mattress. If I was to offer a suggestion for improvement, I would recommend having coffee available at the location. Although there’s a communal coffee maker, it’s just for hot water and it’s just not convenient. But I really loved the location, and I loved the resident cat 😁
This has been a lovely, value-for-money stay at a very convenient location in the heart of Playa del Carmen. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and having them at the gated entrance 24 hour round was a great tick in the piece of mind box. Yes, the bar at the street corner could be loud some nights, but only occasionally, and a pair of earplugs (available from the reception) does the trick.
I loved the hotel in the day time but evening it’s too noisy because of a bar near by till 2 or 3 am . They also charge for an other person to stay in a a room made for two so it’s quiet strange to me as I never experience it before . I like that there is many local restaurant around and beach is close . The cat :) the place is lovely and the staff very kind

The staff was great here and it’s cheap and convenient location, but the biggest issue for me was that the doors didn’t deadbolt and the doors were pretty thin so if you’re a nervous traveller I would opt for something a bit more expensive. All the budget hotels are like this there though. Cute little seating areas outside though with a hammock which was nice and overall it was pretty clean.
I just needed a bed and a clean room and got it here. It's pretty bare bones but it does the trick. There's no drinking water available which is kind of annoying but I guess they're saving on costs where they can.
Bring ear plugs. I chose this place in part to avoid the 5th Avenue noise but there's a bar blasting music within ear shot.
Air conditioner was non-functional in that it did not blow any cool air, just room temperature. It was obvious that the refrigerant had been depleted and hadn't been serviced in years.The rooms two electrical outlets were also non-functional in that they were worn out and could not firmly hold the the plug of the device you would plug into the outlet.
This was my third time staying at this hotel and it never fails to disappoint. It’s great value. The location is perfect for a solo traveler, it’s safe, central and 5 mins to the beach and bus station. Andreas the owner is fantastic as with the rest of his staff, friendly, courteous and professional. I’ll always stay at the Barrio Latino hotel.
Here are the most important things about Barrio Latino that many hotels lack:
Clean? YES!
Hot Water? YES
Great Water Pressure? YES!
Air conditioning? YES!
Ceiling Fan? YES!
Enjoyed my stay and will return here every time.Thanks for taking care of the property and me!

Wifi was not working well at all.
Staff very friendly.
They made me pay in cash for extra services i received and they didn't provide an invoice for that.
I paid in American $ and they made a change very unfair.
Besides that, all was good.
