I’m here now! Love this place! So quirky and artsy! I’m in the Peacock Room, it’s lovely. Comfortable and clean and expertly decorated. This is a large boarding house of sorts. Once you enter the front door you are in a very amazingly arty hallway with a number of private rooms. All doors have electronic locks. There is a spring water dispenser in the common hallway area. My room has cold AC, a window for fresh air, beautiful bathroom with nice amenities and a hot water kettle with instant coffee and tea. I brought some Dripkits and enjoyed a nice cuppa while listening to Miles Davis and getting settled. Perfection. There are no TVs here but the Wi-Fi is super strong and solid and one could stream content easily on your own device. The area felt safe. Don’t rely on google maps, read the directions they provide upon check in. You can walk to Don Cafeto’s in under five minutes. And everywhere in Tulum town. Don’t hesitate. Great room. Good for those who do not need much more than a cozy place to sleep.
Just amazing! The room, the bathroom, the decoration, the location,… everything went perfect! We had the Parrot Suite, loved it! On top of that: water flow and pressure was excellent, which was definitely not the case for every other room we stayed in. I would have given a 6* if I could! Recommend it
Great spot, the bed is extra comfortable, the design from the moment you get in the corridor makes you feel like you’re in wonderland! Definitely my favorite artsy spot in downtown, I heard an amazing co working space is coming soon as well, worth the visit!
Lovely but small rooms. We booked the room for 3 people and we barely fit in it. The sofa bed for the third person was like 150 cm long. It's nice they provide drinking water but the lack of a fridge hurts.
Amazing location, i was able to walk everywhere. The rooms are beautifully decorated. I work remotely and had to do a lot of zoom calls, The Wifi was súper fast. We were very happy with our stay
All good, except that the AC wasn't so powerful and next to the hostel the is a bar/terrace in which the play loud music. Good music jazz/light rock but still loud.
This is a beautiful place, and very clean and comfortable. NOTE: the nightclub nearby is a little bit noisy, and you should definitely use the little acoustic mats with the provided earplugs (I have my own earplugs)
I could feel that the owners poured a lot of efforts to make guests stay comfortable. Everything is in order as needed - shower water pressure/temperature, hangers, towels (hand towels, normal ones, and beach ones), electric kettle, drinking water, and all. Didn't need anything more considering nice price. But I should mention that there was a strong drainage smell that I couldn't get rid off after time, shower, ventilation, everything It'll be great if it can be fixed. About the noise that people complained, I didn't feel so much as Tulum everywhere is quite a party place, and the area of this lodging isn't really in that middle.
Busy town center with residential areas & informal restaurants, bars & accommodation options.
