I had to leave the hotel at check in. I paid $180 for one night and I have not been able to get a refund for and was forced to book another hotel for the same night. This hotel does not even have elevators to go to higher floors. How can middle age and older people go up all these stairs with their luggage?? This hotel is only good for teenagers and young adults that want to party and don’t care about anything else. Do not recommend for families and kids or older adults!!!

I liked this property. Its lively and cheap. Theres a bar and pool in the hostel. The staff were nice and chatty. They can set you up with tours for chitchen itza. Next door was a food place to get tacos which were nice and the beach is like a 5 minute walk from this hostel. Store and pharmacy are 5 minutes from hostel. Staff were very kind and arranged a taxi for me when leaving

Mayan Monkey Hostel Cancun: A Perfect Blend of Comfort, Convenience, and Adventure If you’re planning a trip to Cancun and looking for a clean, affordable, and vibrant place to stay, I highly recommend Mayan Monkey Hostel. This hostel truly exceeded my expectations in every way and made my stay in Cancun unforgettable. Cleanliness & Comfort: One of the standout features of this hostel is how impeccably clean it is. From the dorm rooms to the common areas, everything is well-maintained and spotless. The rooms are cozy yet spacious, offering a comfortable place to rest after a long day of exploring. The beds are sturdy with privacy curtains, individual lights, and outlets, making it easy to relax. Secure Lockers (Bring Your Own Lock!): Another great feature is the large lockers provided for each guest. They’re big enough to store all your belongings, which is a huge plus for travelers with larger backpacks. Just remember to bring your own lock to keep your items secure. Smooth Check-In Process: Checking in was a breeze. The staff at the front desk were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable, making the entire process quick and hassle-free. They also provided great tips on local attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. Prime Location in Downtown Cancun: The location of Mayan Monkey Hostel is unbeatable. It’s close to everything you could imagine doing in downtown Cancun. Whether you’re in the mood for shopping, dining, or dancing the night away, you’re just steps away from

This was a shared 6 person mixed room. However, the room was right next to the bar/dining area and was consistently noisy in the evening till around 1am. The music was played sooooo loudly that it affected sleeping. The bed was comfortable, the shared restroom surprisingly clean.

I transferred to the solo bedroom. Much less noise. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The shower was a bit inconvenient as there was nowhere to place the soap. The soap was also very jelly-like so it couldn’t come out the pump. Luckily I had my own.

Overall, I’m happy with my experience, but there are a couple of things that need improvement. The first is the check-in process—it honestly takes too long. After a long flight, that lengthy check-in was something I won’t forget. The second issue is with the restaurant. If you're planning to have breakfast there, make sure to set aside about an hour and a half. The service is quite slow, which can get a bit frustrating. However, the hostel itself is fantastic, the staff is friendly, and we had a great time overall. Thank you! Just please speed things up a bit—I paid to spend more time by the beach or pool.

Overall, I’m quite pleased with my stay, but there are a couple of areas that need improvement to make the experience even better. First and foremost, the check-in process could be streamlined significantly. It honestly felt like it took forever. After a long, tiring flight, I was really looking forward to relaxing, but that prolonged check-in made it difficult to start my stay on a positive note. It’s something that could definitely be sped up for the comfort of future guests. The second area for improvement is the restaurant service, especially during breakfast. While the food itself was enjoyable, the service was slower than expected. If you plan to have breakfast there, I’d recommend setting aside at least an hour and a half. The slow pace can be a bit frustrating, especially if you’re eager to get out and enjoy the day. The leisurely service felt more inconvenient than relaxing, which was slightly disappointing.That said, there’s a lot to love about this hostel. The atmosphere is inviting, and the facilities are top-notch. The staff members are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seem to care about making sure you have a great time. Despite the minor inconveniences, we really enjoyed our stay and made some wonderful memories. Thank you for the experience! Just a suggestion—if things could move a little faster, especially at check-in and breakfast, it would really enhance the overall experience. After all, I’d rather spend my time soaking up the sun by the beach
