This was the best place I stayed during my two months travelling all over Mexico. I stayed in the all female 4 bed dorm, which was really nice and roomy and clean (our bed linen was changed regularly). Lockers, internet (decent speed) and a fantastic (and big) breakfast are all included with the very reasonable nightly price. The staff are... more
