"We arrived in Cancun at 11am and we thought the hostel was going be closed. They were not closed and the front desk welcomed us and offered us some water after a long travel. The staff was super friendly. The place was super cute and clean. It was not right by the beach like the picture but we only stayed there one night. It is a walking distance from the ferry which was very convenient. The bed and showers were very comfortable and nice. The shower had very good pressure and it was hot water....
