Mala Playa - 77710 Playa del Carmen

I’ve stayed in their hostel twice. Conveniently located, the place offers great and clean amenities including a pool and areas to hang out, plus they offer a breakfast that I haven’t had as good in any other hostel before. (Can’t say anything about their hotel rooms though, but the shared places were great!)

We have enjoyed our stay a lot, so much that we intended to stay for 3 nights but we stayed for 7. We were happy from the beginning as this was the first hotel in Mexico which actually offered a better price at the reception than on online reservation websites ❤️ We were just about to give up asking. The staff was very friendly and the room seemed like more than you pay for: a comfortable bedroom, large bathroom and a living room with kitchenette. The room is cleaned daily, and when I say it is cleaned daily I mean it. Them people clean the room every day as if you are leaving and someone else is moving in. Breakfast is lovely and the people who serve it are very nice and there are a lot of food choices. My favourite was the toast. The one thing I would improve about it are the coffee cups which look quite rusty... However, when it comes to the rooms I would like for them to improve the state of their kitchenware: there was only one pot available for us and the state of it was disgusting; there were 2 plates and 2 bowls available, which were plastic and looked like they have over-lived; we only received 2 knives and 1 fork ??‍♀️; there is nowhere to cut stuff and no knife good enough, which helped turn the plastic plates into an absolute unhygienic mess. Another downside is that there is no bedsheet, just a blanket, which is covered in nothing. This is both weird and uncomfortable because the air conditioning, no matter which buttons I pressed, only knew one setting: the North Pole..therefore you either keep it on and catch a cold or turn it off and sweat to death; I would have loved to be able to keep it turned off and simply cover myself in a bedsheet. Strangest thing of them all: they call themselves a beer hotel but don’t even have a bar ???‍♀️ Other than that, I have loved this hotel ? go stay there! Good luck guys!

Beautiful and spacious, private guest rooms equipped with bathroom and small kitchen, cable tv, and WiFi. Wonderful, friendly hosts!

Nice clean no frills place to stay. They serve a free waffle, fruit and coffee breakfast, with options to buy other items. There's loud music playing until midnight which makes it hard to sleep for those that like to go to bed early, but you're in Playa, get out and enjoy the night life. Great value for the price.

I came here for an afternoon waffle and stayed for the atmosphere. The staff is extra friendly. They really made me feel welcome. I didn't stay in the hotel, but if I ever need accommodation in Playa del Carmen, this place will be one of my top options.

Hotel itself is nice with comfy rooms. But it was absolutely impossible to get a moments sleep here even though we changed rooms. There is live music and pounding reggaeton all night, next door, downstairs, etc all around this hotel. The walls and floors were constantly pounding.

Super cheap for what you get. Our private room with private bath was huge, like the size of an apartment. 6 people could sleep in here. The funky vibe and art are a plus. The pool was great to hang out and have a beer in. The only downside is the room is missing some simple amenities - there is no garbage can for the kitchen and no dishes or cookware. All in all a great value though. Very central location

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! I loved: - the territory itself, it’s like living in a jungle with an amazing pool; - the building is super pink so you won’t ever get lost; - that everyone here is at your service - I asked to carry my heavy suitcase from the 3rd from and a nice receptionist found a pretty handsome man who helped me; - the breakfast - it was simple but really good: waffles with ham or fruits + coffee ☕️ + fruit plate or juice - that each room has 3 bunk beds and 6 sleeping surfaces, there are 2 rooms next to each other and it’s like it’s own apartment with a living room and a kitchen so if you are a group of 12 - it’s perfect for you! I was not a fan of: - loud music until midnight every day, it’s impossible to sleep even with your windows shut and earplugs in, the good thing that I read about it in the reviews before coming here and the band stops playing right at midnight; - bathroom having no door, just a curtain;
