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.

The property is super cute and relaxing, and great value for having your own individual pod. Everything was very comfortable, and having AC that you can control yourself was a huge plus in Tulum! Great location and a really lovely atmosphere. Yvonne, the owner, was wonderful and made the stay even better. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it.

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
