I showed them my Travelocity reservation confirmation and they just said told me " to find someplace else " because they already sold out...RUDE, Irresponsibles, NOT RECOMMENDED !!!!!

Nicht zu empfehlen! Alles alt,schmutzig überteuert

Auch für eine Nacht zu dem Preis viel zu teuer. Es ist schmutzig und alt. Das Bad schimmelt vor sich hin, Stromleitungen schauen heraus (auch im Bad). Es ist sehr schwer zu finden. Personal ist zwar bemüht, können aber kein Englisch und scheinen nicht zu putzen. Nicht zu empfehlen.

Only if you're desperate

I've never stayed in less than a 3-star hotel before. So I hope I'm not being too mean with this review, but this place was pretty gross. The bed/bedding was clean but that's about it. There was mold all over the walls in the bathroom, paint was falling off the walls, the floor wasn't swept, and there wasn't even a seat on the toilet. If you're a budget traveler then this might be the cheapest place you can find in the high season, but I would go out of my way to find a more comfortable/cleaner dorm in a hostel before staying here again. It was pretty gross. A few people upstairs complained that the rain was coming into their room.

The hotel staff was kind and accommodating. The wifi in the lobby was very fast. The hotel is located by a great market in the town of Cancun.

RESERVACION DE HOTEL

Buen dia, por éste medio emito una queja de riguroza importancia, ya que NO ME RESPETARON LA RESERVACION!!... Adicional que la Srita que atiende se encontraba ingiriendo bebidas alcholicas con gente en el momento de que acudimos al hotel Pesimo el servicio de la srita que se inventó que se canceló la reservacion, cuando no era cierto!!! Ojalá pongan a gente a la atencion de los clientes con mas etica profesional, y responsable porque no es una cantina el hotel, y mas siendo familiar. Saludos.

Close to the ADO bus, still hard to find for me though. Never go to double room 5: the AC is loud and useless, uncomfortable smell of the bathroom, and no hot water for shower, very noisy local neighbors across the street who had parties at their balcony until 2 am. But another single room on the top floor (16?) is fine, with good AC, hot water and fair condition. Most staffs don't speak English...

Hotel bien céntrica, barato pero faltan renovar.

La persona que nos recibió, lo hizo con mucha amabilidad y bien tratable. La persona que estuvo de guardia en la noche no tuvo el mismo trato de cliente. Subimos al tercer piso porque queríamos salas mas cerca los unos de los otros. Pasando por los pasillos del primer y segundo piso, había un olor bastante fuerte de humo de cigarrillo.El ultimo rango de escaleras son al aire libre y bien peligros para niños pequeños y personas de mayor edad ni a decir. En tiempo de lluvia seria algo bien serio. Yo no se nada de como se coloco las estrellas al hotel, pero me pregunto de como consiguió las 3 estrellas?????? No quiero decir que es terrible, pero si fue decepcionante. La impresión que da en su pagina de web realmente no es muy acertado. Si alguien busca un hotel barato, este si que es, pero se tiene que saber que es barato y limpieza regular pero nada mas.

Good location, near the bus station.

We stayed here for one night because we had an early morning flight to catch from the airport and wanted to be near the bus station. We were pleasantly surprised by the quiet corner the hotel stands on. We wandered around the market right opposite, and we sat at one of the local restaurants nearby. Oddly, the nice-looking seafood restaurant opposite the hotel was closed for dinner, but we would have loved to have gone because it looked nice. Hotel was clean, well-located and the staff were very helpful. Free internet worked well in the room and the bed was comfortable.

Not worth it.

Thought I'd book this room to save some money. Wasn't even worth the ~$30/night that I paid. First of all, at check-in, the receptionist couldn't find my reservation, and instead of looking more carefully, he just assumed that my last name was someone else's, and he gave me the key to their [occupied] room. Secondly, this place is filthy. It reeks, there are dead cockroaches everywhere, and the walls are covered in black mold. They gave us 1 towel for 2 people, and it was damp. The only plus is that it's quiet at night.

Cheap but...

The receptionist was nice and helpful. Room was quite run down. Avoid the 3rd floor rooms. The airconditioning is loud, there are loud engines outside in the storage room and banging of metal doors keep you awake at night.

Away from the tourist traps

We walked, we saw, we ate, we siesta'd and we didn't get bothered people asking us to buy trinkets and t-shirts. This hotel is in a perfect location to walk to anything you want in el Centro. We walked to the ferry to Isla Mujeres, to playa del nina, and to plaza de palapa. If you are not in the mood to walk, it is quite easy to catch a cab or a bus as it is only a few block to the main ADO terminal. Market 23 across the street is what market 28 should be.

Hotel muy viejo cerca al ADO

El personal del hotel amable, pero las instalaciones muy viejas, se podian sentir los resortes de los colchones en la espalda. El baño terrible, muy feo y no lo limpiaban bien. Solo habia internet en la recepción y las habitaciones cercanas donde llegaba la señal.
