The Cancun Nest Hostel

Overall Rating

41 out of 66 HostelBookers customers said that they would recommend 'The Cancun Nest Hostel'

The Cancun Nest Hostel is located about 450 meters from the Bus Station, one block from Cancun's main street and one block from the clubs and restaurants on Yaxhilan.

When you walk through the Nest’s front door, the first thing you will see is a big sign which says, “Estás en tu Casa” Literally, it means “You are at your home.” And that’s the way we hope you will feel at the Nest!

Although right in the 24-hour-a-day heart of downtown Cancun, between the city’s two most entertaining streets, the Nest invites you to kick off your sandals, relax with a cold beer in the garden, and enjoy the Lopez family’s warm brand of hospitality. The Nest prides itself on being a quiet, subdued refuge, not party central. We hope that is what our guests are looking for.

Accommodation Information

You enter the Nest through the stylish but sturdy security gates that keep Cancun open to the Nest but assure that Nest’s guests can rest safe and secure when they come home at night.

The FRONT GARDEN is full of flowers and trees and shrubs, a relaxing place for people-watching, tables to chill out and talk, to enjoy your breakfast or a cool drink at twilight. Breakfast is available from 8 am until 10 am daily.

Reception is in The LOUNGE, a bright room with comfortable sofas and squishy beanbag chairs, books, games, Cable TV and a computer to keep in touch with home and with the world.

Just off The Lounge is the big, bright and very complete KITCHEN, large and modern and perfect for cooking your own meals, if you want. (And where every morning you’ll find a complimentary fresh fruit, baguettes, cakes, toast, jam, butter, fresh coffee and tea)

Most DORMS and ROOMS open off The BREAKFAST ROOM with its cabaret tables and chairs. It is a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee or to read or relax or write post cards home any time of day. Each dorm or room has its own character.

HUFFLEPUFF is a cosy private TWIN room with night time air-conditioning (11 pm to 7 am) to make Cancun’s sultry nights comfortable.

DUMBLEDORE, a large and comfortable private TWIN EN-SUITE room with night time air-conditioning at a price which can't be matched by any Cancun hotel!

SLYTHERIN, a tiny (think of a compartment on a train), cosy, colourful private EN-SUITE room with BUNK BEDS for two people with night-time air conditioning and a bonus ceiling fan that will blow your socks off. Tiny, very tiny, but – wow! – Definitely the best private accommodation bargain in Cancun!

RAVENCLAW, a mixed DORM with only four BUNKS BEDS and the wonderful luxury of night time air-conditioning.

GRYFFINDOR is a big EN-SUITE DORM with 12 low-cost BUNK BEDS and a bunch of very effective fans.

Air conditioning in Dumbledore, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuff operates ONLY between the hours of 11 pm and 7 am daily.

No matter which you chose, remember that at the Nest "estás en tu casa".
