Second time staying here and I’ll keep coming back. It’s location is perfect, hostel is comfortable and well priced. Staff is super nice and hospitable, can’t complain.
A/C is turned at 24C and the beds have no ventilation besides the privacy curtain so it can get hot in the middle of the night. Maybe lower it to 20-22C?

The place is nice for what you pay, the kitchen is good and the rooms are ok too. Showers are great with hot water 😊
Some stuff members could be more friendly and hospitable. The other issue is about Cozumel in general: The hostel is in the center of the town but there are not really good beaches around, only small rocky ones. The good beaches are around 15-20 min away by taxi so do your own thinking.

The staff were all very kind and interactive. I felt comfortable leaving my stuff there unattended and sleeping despite being a solo female traveler. I had to go to the pharmacy in the morning and they were kind enough to allow me to leave my stuff there, at no extra charge, past when checkout was so I could go get what I needed. Check-in and check-out were easy, and I had a locking drawer I was able to use for my more valuable items. It was my first time staying at a hostel, and it was quite beautiful and fun! It had a great view of the water from just outside the building, and was only a few minutes walk from grocery stores and the Cozumel main plaza (full of restaurants, shopping, etc.)
There's nothing in particular I didn't like that isn't just nitpicky. I had a hard time finding the light switches and went to the bathroom in the dark the first couple of times. There was a lot of construction going on when I was staying there, and I often felt bad for using some facilities while there were people trying to work on them, but that's no fault of theirs. The workers were all courteous. Would definitely recommend!

Biggggg beds and sleep space and also a curtain. The location is…..perfect. Cheap scooters for rent at the front desk…about $15 dollars or 350 pesos per day. Great for meeting other travelers. I met a travel partner there and we traveled Mexico together <3 Great showers, great kitchen and outdoor space.
One of the staff was a little particular about us hanging out in the social area (which is completely separate from the sleeping area). They tend to want to abide by the 11pn curfew. However, he let us stay but closed the door and told us to not be too loud. For a hostel, it could be a tad cheaper, but it’s a tropical island so I get it. Cozumel is cheaper then all other islands along the Yucatán so still fairly reasonable.

The workers are always so friendly. I’ve stayed here each year for the last 3 years. I really like how it’s a hostel that provides privacy. You aren’t stuck staring at other people in your cubicle. The A/C at night is wonderful.
The fridge is a little too small. Maybe not everyone utilizes it when they travel but it might be better to get a larger fridge.

this is a really well located hostel, close to the ferry terminal and loads of restaurants. the staff were very friendly and I really like the honeycomb concept. the bed was very spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and showers were hot. it was still social even though you have a lot of privacy.
there were quite a few mosquitos in my pod because the doors are kept open all day. the kitchen area was a little untidy but this was really down to the guests and not the hostels fault.

I had a fabulous day! The staff was absolutely great. Couldn't have been more helpful.
What I didn't like was the weather LOL first week was hot as heck in the weeks to follow by rain. But it was the rainy.

privacy curtains, quiet, serious scuba divers so people are respectful of noise and go to bed early, female-only washroom available, close to ferry, clean, good a/c temperate, good value for money
you cannot use your own lock, must take their key with deposit (10$ USD), CASH ONLY - challenging for long stays if you dont want to carry a ton of cash, cold showers only, no female only rooms - its just one big dorm, once you check out you need to pay 50 pecos to use the shower or bathroom

There is an AC in the room which will get turned on during the night. The Staff was super friendly and the beds are comfortable.
There are a lot of mosquitos so they lid a candle which made the room feel very smoky. The AC can not be regulated individually.

Really close to ferry and Centro with a good snorkeling spot right over the road. Bed was really comfortable with a privacy blind and space for your things. Staff were friendly and helpful and the place was nice and clean. Great value for money. Best showers I've had in a few weeks!
AC could be turned on a little earlier at night when the days are shorter for those of us who go to bed early. Just like a budget airline you pay for any extras - drinking water, towel, key deposit for locker - but it wouldn't stop me staying again.
