I stayed for a week at this hostel, and booked a separate room.The hostel has a common kitchen and a small pool where you can cool your feet or enter if you wish.They also offer a bicycle rental service.The best part of the place is its location: a supermarket on the opposite corner, Chedraui at 200m and direct access to the roads leading to the public and private beaches (20-30min by bike).The cost of the room that was found was $420/night via a web service, and $100 bike/day direct at the hostel.

An excellent place to relax and visit the beach.

The hostel is very close to the center, has a beautiful stack, serves a very good breakfast, the rooms are comfortable, fresh and very quiet.The girl and all the staff of the hostel are super friendly and orientate you and recommend dinners and things to do, without a doubt I would return here!

Beautiful hostel with all amenities.

It's beautiful, simple but with a swimming pool, very large beds. The person is respectful, kind and gives you directions so you can get to know everything. Rent a bike in the same hostel. The breakfast is great. Quiet at night, ideal for relaxing.

Hermoso hostel is a beautiful hostel.

First, I need to preface this review with the fact that our family is a "stress test" for everywhere we go. We have 3 younger, extremely spirited boys (nicknamed The Wolverine Monkeys), and we basically booked the whole hostel for 2 weeks to use as a home base with friends and family who met us in Tulum. 

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in and I travel the world for a living. The accommodations are clean, super cool in style (Lucha Libre, Frida and Tattoo themes!), with every amenity you need. 

Clean comfy beds, fluffy towels, good showers, a pool for cooling off, great free breakfast in the mornings and the cheapest bike rentals in town. The hostel is small with only two private double rooms and three bunk rooms, which makes it cozy and helps avoid the party atmosphere of some hostels I have stayed in. 

The kitchen is well stocked with basics and is vegetarian only. There is a grill up on the great rooftop lounge for carne y pescado. We're not vegetarian, but we really didn't miss cooking meat, at all. When we craved meat, we went on "taco walks" (the torta/taco stand in the AKI Supermercado parking lot is fantastic and CHEAP!). We had a great BBQ on the roof one night!

Alcohol is not allowed to be stored in the kitchen, which is another great feature that prevents a party atmosphere. We kept a cooler in our private room and the staff provided us with ice to keep it cool. 

The hostel is at the Coba/Tulum crossroad which makes access to two supermarkets, the beaches, cenotes (Gran Cenote was our favorite, an easy bike ride away at 3km) and the Tulum main drag, super easy. 

All of that is enough to make for a perfect place to stay, but the real magic of this place is the amazing staff. Javi and Don Fermi and his family are just beautifully kind and patient and could not have been more helpful. Fantastic suggestions for day trips, advice for avoid the seaweed scourge (FYI, cenotes are the new beaches!! Amazing clear water swimming/snorkeling with turtles, fish, bats, owls and all UNDERGROUND!!!) and genuine caring and assistance. They simply made every problem we had while here disappear. Our vacation was a beautiful success, primarily due to their patience and assistance. 

Don Fermi also runs the car rental service next door and has the best prices and services in town. 

We just passed Hostal Chalupa in the ADO bus to head for the airport and everyone groaned in sadness. We already miss it, and everyone who works there. 

We will be back. We loved Hostal Chalupa.

A perfect homebase for exploring the region!

I like the attention of Javier and the staff, they are prepared and trained to serve the tourist, his hospitalarios, the breakfast is complete in price-quality ratio, the room is comfortable, the air works, TODO EXCELENTE, DA GUSTO VOLVER.

I feel like I'm at home.

Stayed in a private twin room. It's described as new, but the hostel and room felt pretty run-down, with no charm. The location is convenient to the beach but on the edge of town. The room was a bit stuffy, poorly lit, and the a/c was weak. The staff spoke little to no English. Breakfast was very basic - some bananas, cornflakes, and bread with jam. We like stying in hostels to meet other travelers. But the place was half empty (during peak season) and people seemed to mostly keep to themselves.

Dissapointing

An excellent hostel, very recommended. The facilities are very nice and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The rooms are large, with private bathrooms and double beds. It has a pool, a beautiful terrace and a café on one side. Everything is very clean and the kitchen is very equipped. The only thing is that you can not cook meat or fish there, you can only do it on the terrace that has a grill. The location is very good. and rent bicycles because the distances in tulum are wide. The breakfast is super complete and you can serve as many times as you wish.

A week in the tub.

Very Chilled hostel. Family run. Everything is kept clean and tidy. There's a decent kitchen but bear in mind that it's a vegetarian only kitchen. Dorms are really spacious with bathrooms. The bunks are extra wide with decent mattresses and there are lockers in the dorms. Nice pool and roof terrace to mix with other travellers. The only bad thing was no lock on bathroom door.

Chilled

Pros: 
- Right off of Carr Cancun - Tulum, which is full of shops and restaurants..lots of options and things to do at night 
- Owner was very friendly and had some great suggestions for a tattoo place and even invited us to a private BBQ 
- Free parking nearby for our rental - Pretty quiet, for us a pro 
Cons: 
- Place could use a good cleaning, bathrooms were dirty, room was damp and smelled a bit 
- Lack of facilities.. no breakfast, washer/dryer.. just a pool that no one was using

Pros & Cons

The cleanliness, the attention of the receptionist girl and the next day of her father was excellent. I had the idea that the hostels were very noisy but I was totally wrong. It was a family night because it was just for sleeping.
