!!!!DON'T STAY THERE!!!! I was stolen in this hostel. A man broke my locker and took all my stuff. The breakfast is terrible, the staff is not prepared and the security is a joke! The room stinks, if we can call a sardine can with 4 beds a room. It was the worst experience I've had in a hostel in my life. Even if you have to spend more money staying in a hotel, avoid this hostel. Or you can lose everything you have!

We are sorry, it could also have happened in an expensive hotel, the fact was that the robbery was planned by the guest thief . Remember that we gave you all the facilities at our disposal for the case. Most of the hostels in Mexico are advised, including it is already circulating a photo of the thief traveller.

K3 is located on the main street in Acapulco, and right next to the beach, smal restaurantes and party spots... K3 has little bathrooms witch you can close to be alone. Very Good!!! there is a little braekfast out of toast with butter and jelly, cornflakes with milk and coffee.

The private rooms do not have control over the A.C. and therefore it was freezing at night...had to ask for 3 blankets!!! The rooms are lacking amenities...desk, closet, chair, mirror, basically a shoebox!!!!

The location of this hostel is very central to the main road, and there are several accessable decent beaches. There is a wonderful balcony facing onto the beach with a cheap bar and view of the sunset. However my partner and I booked a private room, which was simply a bunk bed in a tiny windowless room. As well as this, our private room was located above the 'Shot' disco, pounding music into our room from late at night til roughly midday. Apart from this it was clean and well-run.

The place is dead, no other guests. Some of the staff rolled their eyes to our questions and didn't show any intress to serve uss. It's very noisy. There's a disco close and it's impossible to sleep when the bass is literallly vibrating your bead. The staff puts the tv on & very loud at 7a.m. The hostel has an air-conditioning during the nights, but most of the time it was turned on ( way too cold) and off every other hour so you were either sweating or freezing the whole night. No hot water.

Simple hostel but they have everything what you need if you re staying in Acapulco for few days. Helpful staff, really clean bathrooms and small but cosy rooms (but hey, you're not going to Acapulco to stay in your room ;) typical youth hostel, perfect for backpackers.
