I went here by reference!! But the place was not for me. It was dirty, noisey (music played outside dorm till late) and full of biting insects.

The facilities are okay (but dirty). There is no where to chill as everything is crammed into one courtyard.

I stayed at the Nomados Hostel in Merdia prior to this and that place is lovely. What a contrast!

This hostel is for young party animals who don't mind dirty conditions. If you prefer a more relaxed, quieter and cleaner place stay at the Hostel Mayan where I just moved to.

this place is not that clean, not so cheap and not so bad.

i mean, yes, it's quite expensive for the place itself but it's lots of fun because people staying there were interesting. i mean, if you're looking to have fun and not caring about luxury, this is a good place to stay in. otherwise, you'd better stay in the hotel next to this hostel.

for me was fun which is what i was looking for.

Ok, this place is in a good location in the town of Tulum. However, my room was dirty and smelly. The hostel is really loud. It was hard to sleep, since they played music loudly. Also, I didn't like that I had to wear some hostel bracelet which acted like a credit card.

Stayed here for 4 days. Great location just down from the bus station and in good proximity to restaurants, stores, grocery store etc. (Tulum is not that big of a place).

Great communal kitchen. They have the basics, including rice and pasta, you provide the rest. Can use the BBQ at night for $2 (they provide what you need, you cook it).

Breakfast is included in the price and is pretty good from what Ive seen so far. Again, its cook-your-own, but in addition to the standard toast and jam and coffee (bad coffee, by the way!), they have cereal (you have to buy the milk though), eggs and pancake batter for you to cook your own breakfast. There are a few good fruit & vegetable markets just down the road past the bus station, so we found that we supplemented our breakfast with some great, cheap fruit.

The dorm we stayed in was ok. 8 beds, a bathroom that could have been cleaner. It was in a building across the road and not actually at the main Weary Traveler. Much quieter, and we had full access to all the Weary Traveler goodies. It was somewhat hot. This building had a kitchen as well, but the stove didnt work and because the atmosphere was so much better across the road, we hung out there.

There was a free shuttle to the beach (leave from out front of the Weary Traveler at 9am or 12pm, pick up at the beach at 12:30pm or 5pm). Very key, as the beach is somewhat out of town (you can rent bikes in town if you want). The beach in Tulum is one of the best I have been to, and the ruins are a short walk away. Not as big or grand as Chichen Itza or Coba, but the location is amazing.

I would definitely stay here again. The hostel was great fun and good value!
