Liked: Fantastic Hostel. Everything you could ask for is available. The food is great and it's a good place to meet people if you are travelling alone as I was. The staff are really helpful and make you feel really at home. Another plus was the free bottled water, as this can add up when you're buying it every day.

Liked: Everybody was really welcoming and very friendly. It felt like we were all a big family. The food was excellent as well. I felt really safe even though the hostel isn't located near the hotel zone. I really enjoyed going out with a large group from the hostel every night. Met a lot of great people.

Disliked: I don't think I honestly disliked anything about Hostel Quetzal. It was fabulous.

Liked: Very friendly hostel where you can meet lots of other people very easily over the dinners included in the hostel price. The hostel is in a good location downtown and is only a 10 minute bus journey from all the beaches and is a 5 min walk from the bus station. A very clean room, and a friendly, almost family atmosphere coupled woth very helpful and pleasant staff made the stay very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Liked: It was amazing. Didn't want to leave at all! Met a lot of people from all over the world. The free diner was delicious every night and fun with everybody. STAY THERE!

Disliked: Before you book a tour check with them if the entrance fees are included. Otherwise you might book a public one since it is more expensive to pay everything by yourself.

Liked: You've found the best hostel in Cancun!!it really is like a home away from home. Breakfast and dinner are included and the food is fabulous! the place seems to only attract great people, and the staff are incredibly helpful from booking tables for dinner to showing you where to get the bus from. We got our laundry done here, very cheap and comes back super clean, smelling great, folded and all. Location wise I loved it, close to some super great taco places and a place where they salsa at night. Its not in hotel zone, but downtown- which I preferred as it felt more relaxed and still had walking distance bars etc. The bus to hotel zone is only 8 pesos, and even a cab is cheap if you want to go out at night.Would never stay anywhere else, highly highly recommend!

Disliked: Only down side is it is not in hotel zone- but we actually preferred this! only a short 8 peso ride there though so its no problem at all.
