I loved this place! Remember is not a 5-star resort. Is a place to spend the night in peace. The bedroom was clean and modest. I stayed there only one night before leaving Cancun. I love the Plaza where you have all sorts of food available.

Wonderful little hotel/hostel in the heart of Centro Cancun. Nestled in a sweet neighborhood surrounded by parks, restaurants, bars and shopping. You can walk to any beach in Cancun from here. I chose to be in a private room with a King Size Bed and Private Bathroom. It was very spacious and clean. Excellent front desk staff with a beautiful attendant!

Me gustó mi estancia pero la cuestión del aire acondicionado es algo primordial en Cancún, deberían de fijar un precio general para todas las habitaciones y que ya te incluyan aire, por qué un ventilador no es suficiente y el calor se vuelve infernal.
