Casa Wayak Hostel

Love this sweet little place - location is great, staff is great... Rooftop terrace is lovely. Owner is awesome - born and raised here, knows everything about Cancun and enjoys getting to know the people who stay here. She is also well-traveled and bilingual.

My room was small but cozy, great air conditioner that was quiet and functional. A little examination of the remote showed me how to direct the air flow so it wasn't coming directly onto the bed. Wifi is steady which is good because I'm working while I'm here.

I came here for dental work and didn't expect the work to be as intense as it was, so i wanted to stay in a hostel for the social aspects. Unfortunately, I wound up having some complications and so this wasn't the best place for quiet and convalescence lol... I realize it's Mexico and also downtown Cancun and also a hostel so some noise is to be expected, BUT...

My room was central to every bit of noise this place has to offer - late night conversations in the front garden, literally anyone coming up or down the stairs, 7am conversations or people playing music (we are having 9am reggaeton at the moment) in the kitchen downstairs, every single vehicle with amplified advertising cruising through the streets, etc...

Regardless - I love this place, have enjoyed my stay. I am leaving Cancun soon and won't be returning until the night before I fly out, but hopefully one of the rooms on the rooftop terrace will be available for a night's stay because I'd love to stay in one and the noise won't be so much of an issue up there.

The place is basic but nice. It can be a bit difficult to find as there is no board or sign outside - so calling the person is the best way to get in.
They can be a bit more friendly and welcoming
About 15 min walk to the ADO bus station

After my wallet was stolen and I missed my connecting flight I was stuck in Cancun without any cash. My girlfriend transferred cash to a bank so I could pick it up there. Unfortunately it was Friday night when I arrived and all the banks where already closing or already did their maximum number of cash take outs for the day. It was extra hard because I already took a taxi and was planning to pay them with the money I was going to receive. After trying 3 different banks without luck I called the hostel if they could maybe help. They told me to come over and would see how to handle the situation. When I arrived they paid the taxi for me and gave me a bed. The day after it worked out with the bank so I paid them back.
The staff is super friendly and did really good with my dog how's travelling with me. There is a good kitchen, the cleaning lady is doing a great job all day around and the location is great!
Unlike what you read in a lot of comments the beds are good and there is no bedbugs!
Recommend it to everyone how doesn't want to stay in the busy hotel zone or travelling with her/his dog.

Not a hotel bunker like any other. No swanky luxury yacht owned by a snooty oligarch. But a place full of warmth. Great team, coolest boss ever and a place where time doesn't matter. Casa Wayak: The house of dreams in a crazy world in 2022

Horrible dirty place. Also the staff help people enter to kidnap and rob the guest. I was a victim. They even went as far as claiming I never checked in after I was threatened by the men to not return. Good thing i took pictures as proof. Stay far away from this place

Horrible hostel. They took me to my dorm room and the floor is so dirty, hair and dirt everywhere. Tiny uncomfortable beds. No air con in daytime. Bathroom dirty and no hand soap. Would never stay here again and totally regretting this booking in middle of my 2 night stay :(

Located on a shady street; bed sheets are dirty, i have ants on my bed, one towel for 2 persons, no shower gel, dirty floors, water at the shower has no pressure; there was nobody at the reception, not answering the phone, room was not ready event at 3pm. Rules over rules. Very arrogant receptionist. You need to pay a fee for the key, that will be returned after check out. I don t recomand. Not a single good thing to say about.
