We got a double room with shared bathroom. The common areas are very clean and they work all day to keep them tidy. The roof terrace is perfect to relax. We didn't try the jacuzzi but it looked pretty nice too. The location is great if you're just getting to Cancun or leaving town, and there's plenty of restaurants and eateries nearby. A bit less convenient if you're planning to spend time at the beach, in which case you'll have to take a bus. Good breakfast. We'd definitely return.

We stayed for one night before meeting friends. We stayed in a private room and it was so nice - spacious, clean and one of the best bathrooms I've ever seen in a hostel! The rooftop bar area is a really great place to have a drink too

I really enjoyed my stay.The location could not be better, a mere 5 minute walk from the bus station. IYH standarlds were in place. If in Cancun again, I will stay here again.

I would say this hostel is pretty good overall but the one thing it lacks is atmosphere and unfortunately that's key for me. The facilities are alright but it's the staff that make your stay worthwhile. Also the breakfast in the morning is very good

The staff is definitely not nice to guests, we felt like we couldn't ask anything without annoying them. This is not professional at all. For the price we paid, we had a room with a small bed. nothing else ! this is very expensive for a bed. Moreover, we had shared bathroom and toilets. In the same street you can find an appartment for this price.

The hostel is located just a few minutes walk from the main Ado bus station which is very convenient if you plan on travelling out of Cancun (to and from the airport, etc.). It is also just a few steps away from the city buses that will take you to the hotel zone. The staff is very friend and the hostel organizes different activities on the rooftop patio every night.

Good, fun hostel. Great rooftop terrace/bar area. Staff were great, taking people from the hostel out each night. Very close to ADO bus terminal which is really convenient.

I had room to myself during my stay here. It is very close to the main bus station, so getting to from the airport is easy. McDonald's, a local street vendors and restaurants, supermarkets are basically at your front door. The place was ok clean. It has roof top bar area which overlooks the main street.

The price for the double room was a bit high for a hostel (apr. 35 Euros). But the roof-deck is just fantastic!

The 10 bed femal dorm was spacious but the bathroom smelt pretty horribke and unfortunately my bed was closest to it. Not much atmosphere. The rooftop is pretty cool space with bar, Internet, hammocks and jacuzzi!

The hostess at the time actually came up and adjusted my TV and got it working. A staff member that works that hard to make me comfortable is an asset! I hope staff at your other locations are as friendly and helpful. ..............Morris Sulatyski, Canada

I stayed a second night at the end of my trip to Mexico bc I looked & there weren't any other hostels with this location that rated better. The shower in Room 304 still 1/3 soap scum black floor. Front desk didn't have change when I paid the bill so I never got my money. Lastly I caught the 430AM bus to the airport. When I woke up at 330 the music on the roof was still blaring. If you want to party come here, if you need someplace close to the bus station this place works but has negatives.

It was a great stay the one night my girlfriend and I stayed here at the Mundo Juvo. It was my last night in Cancun, and even tough the room was expensive for hostel-standards, the room was great and we even had our own flatscreen. Great service by the staff, and we even got to stay a half-hour longer in the room. Allround great hostel! :) And the rooftop-hangout is awesome.

I stayed at a 14bed dorm and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. Rooftop is a great place to meet people and a big busterminal almost across the street makes it easy to get there and also to continue your journey. Only stayed for one night so didnt get to try all the facilities.

If your just in Cancun for the airport and the bus station this place is wonderful. The hostel is just a 5 minute walk away. Security is tight as they make you wear a red wrist band. This place is much more geared towards party people. My biggest problem is for being TWO years old they should be taking much better care of it. The shower in my private room was functional, but 1/3 of the floor was covered in black soap scum. It could easily be cleaned, but will take some effort by the cleaners.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! We shared a private double and it was much more like a hotel than a hostel - so clean, bathroom with towels, air-con and a little gift basket of water and snacks! The roof terrace was awesome - hot tub and hammocks. Bliss! Great location right by the bus station.

Everything is fantastic. The roof of the hostel is amazing! Shiny wooden floor, shower place, a big tub, a bar...But there is one thing you may want to know. There is only one shower room and two bathrooms in each dorm. So if you think it is a problem, I recommend that you choose a private or stuff.
