Hostel Playa

Best deal in town yet. 180 pesos a night in the dorms. Nice patio, roof top and large indoor commons area. Clean and large bathrooms. Relaxed international atmosphere. Recommended... Check this place out if your on a budget and need a place for the night.

I love this place! So chill. The staff is super nice, especially Cynthia at the reception. She's been so helpful. Great location, air conditionning in the room. Only female area which is awesome to get ready. And a big rooftop! I definately recommend

The location is great, friendly staff, clean rooms and bathrooms!! Really liked the environment everyone was cool from all around the world. Also very safe, I forgot to lock my locker in the room with all my stuff and money in it and I was out all day!! When I came back everything was still there, I was so happy :)

We booked 8 mixed dorm room but there wasn't 8 but only 10 person room. The person who was in the counter didn't speak English well, so we called other person who seem like manager. She finally said sorry and said they will change to 4 people room if we extend our stay. However, eventhough we extended our stay, she didn't changed it. We also asked if it's possible to change dollars to peso and she said yes, but tomorrow. So we went to ask her again the next day, but she changed her words....:( From that time, we just didn't even wanted to ask or trust her.
Otherwise, it was good. Hot water was coming out good, lots of place to chill, good kitchen to use, great location ect. I just didn't like the person who was working there.
+ lots of mosquitosssssssssss

The location is good: food stores a block away, close proximity to the ADO bus terminal and also where more affordable collectivos start/stop (Calle 2 between 15th u0026 20th Aviendas), near the beach and pedestrian mall.

The people were very friendly too and keep the place very clean. Their estimates of collectivo costs are a bit low, so have a few extra pesos on you! Also, they didn't seem to know where the collectivo stop is -- maybe because the staff are young and turn over a lot.

Downsides: our private room was a little janky -- poorly constructed. Our AC worked although the remote was useless. The AC was either on full blast or off. We were still grateful to have any! There were two very good fans as well -- maybe one more than needed. Only one outlet - consider bringing an outlet splitter if you have multiple devices that need charging at once.

The hostel was noisy for a few reasons: they were rebuilding the kitchen floor (which you probably won't have o deal with), and the young staff play music over the hostel-wide PA all the day and into the night. Morning music was mellower, but the dance club stuff at night blared till quiet hours 12:30AM! After that is was rather quiet. The staff and guests were quite good at clearing out right then.

These are good people and a pretty good place. If you are very fussy, maybe go elsewhere. If you are easygoing or young and like to party, this place is great. Also the roof hangout area was underused. I liked napping there.

Do not book here. It is a scam there is no pool even though they show endless pictures of the pool. Also your private room is not a private room ... basically the rooms are divided with wooden fencing so everyone can hear you. Place is a rip off it must have changed hands Recently or something people here all feel ripped off ... def keeping all my money and cards with me i really do not trust these people they know they are lying on their advertising

The hostel is ok. Old beds, mattresses old and yellow-but is pretty clean. Does NOT have bugs. The showers and toilet acceptable clean. The coffe is terrible. The breakfast is bread you toast yourself have jam and butter and nutella-sometime banana as fruit. The staff is not excellent-NOT speak English-but try to help. Not the best. But is ok. I will reccomend it and yes I would stay there another time if i happen to be around.
