Summary of traveller reviews

CHE Playa Hostel & Bar in Playa del Carmen is a lively party hostel with a fantastic location, just a short walk from the beach and 5th Avenue. Guests frequently praise the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, who create a great social atmosphere with daily activities and events. While it's a top choice for solo travellers and those seeking a social experience, some recent reviews mention noise from the rooftop bar and occasional issues with cleanliness in dorms.

The property condition is really bad. There’s also a bar blasting music until 3am every day. Some items didn’t work properly and it’s really run down and in poor condition. I don’t recommend it.

it's fairly well located, the locks on the doors only work at certain angles, there isn't really any good socializing spots. there is the entryway and the kitchen and that's it. they had a mixup and claimed I had to pay another night and woke me up to pay it (they figured it out, but just a personal issue). the culture of the hostel was all in spanish, which is fine (it's a spanish speakins country), but it was a challenge as my spanish isn't great
