An amazing find in Mazatlán. The rooms were spacious and the whole hostel was super clean at all times. The individual room was also very nice and it keeps cool so you don't even have to turn the AC on. Salem is probably the nicest guy in Sinaloa and he was always ready to help. Would definitely visit again.

I had an AMAZING time at funky monkey. It's a very comfortable place, nice pool, nice huge shared kitchen and common areas. Salem, the owner knows the area and the local people and can help you a lot with questions you might have about mazatlan. The place is very welcoming and is a great place to relax and also go out party a bit if that's what you're looking for. the shower heads are amazing. Like standing under a waterfall. Will definitely come back here. Also had secure motorcycle parking
