About

One of the most photographed hostels in Mexico.
Sleep in a concrete tube in the heart of Tulum.
TuboTulum is not a conventional hostel. Our rooms are concrete tubes — 2.13m diameter, 2.5m long — turned into private rooms with a double bed, air conditioning, a plug, and warm lighting. They're set inside a tropical garden with hammocks and palm trees.
It sounds weird. Then you sleep in one, and you don't want to leave.

WHERE YOU ARE
On the road to the beach — 2 km by bike (there's a bike path right opposite). The ADO bus station is 2 km away, the nearest supermarket is a 5-minute walk, and Tulum's main avenue with restaurants, bars, and shops is 15 minutes on foot along well-lit streets.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Private tube room with AC (not a dorm — your own space)
We also offer private double rooms
Free WiFi throughout
Shared kitchen — cook your own meals
Hammocks and common area to meet other travellers
Free parking

Summary of traveller reviews

TuboTulum Hostel offers a unique stay in Tulum, Mexico, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Guests praise the cleanliness and the cool, jungle-like atmosphere. The unique tube accommodations are noted as cozy, though some find them a bit small for two people with luggage. Its location is convenient for accessing restaurants and supermarkets, and it's a good base for day trips.

Friendly staff. The lad from Manchester whose name I can't remember (sorry) gave me lots of useful advice. The pipes were more than big enough for one person, and the a/c and wifi was excellent. The place had a good vibe to it. Very clean as well. Lovely place

My partner and I only stayed here for one night so can't comment to social events. The tubes are small and can be tight for two people but a bit of novelty if you're here for a shorter stay. Good bathroom facilities, clean and spacious. Good kitchen and communal space. Staff are very friendly and helpful. And there is cats!!
