The room was adequate - spacious enough, clean, nice bathroom and comfortable bed. Alex at reception was friendly and informative, helping us with our bags and explaining everything about the hotel. Can't beat the location in a courtyard just off 5th Avenue. The place is very secure with a locked gate and 24 hour reception. However, we were kept awake by the loud music from a nearby club - until 3:30am. Don't know if this happens every night as we only stayed one night before our bus south.

The room was clean and had all essentials. The staff was friendly and attentive. The location is the best part, couldn’t get better, everything is close by. You get a very nice room that is clean with cold AC, an in-room safe and lovely courtyard surroundings for a price that just can’t be beat. You are in the heart of Playa del Carmen, just steps away from restaurants and bars and the beach. I would absolutely stay here again, I highly recommend this property.

Very noicy nighttime because of loud music across the street until early morning. Earplugs is highly recommended. At checkout the receptionist had me wait until he checked my room which has nerver ever happened to me before. I am a women 65 years old, not the kind of guest that destroys hotelrooms.

This is a well-priced little hotel in the center of town, which means it can be noisy but that didn't bother us. They have great security. The courtyard is lovely. The rooms are older but the beds were fine an we did have hot water. Our room was quite large and we had air-conditioning in the bedroom which worked great. The wi-fi worked well. It was good for a moderate priced hotel, but could use some updating.

Kaipasin keittiövarustuksiin vedenkeitintä,ruostunutta helllalevyä en uskaltanut edes kokeilla veden keittämiseen.

5番街沿いの奥まったところにあるアーティスティックなホテル。お部屋はキッチン付き、寝室別で結構広いです。Wi-Fiのは入りも良かったです！門は常に閉まっていますが、すぐそばがレセプションなので、24時間、オラ！と声をかければすぐに開けてくれます。ジャグジーは10時〜22時まで。ダイビングで冷えた体を温めるには最適で快適！ ランドリーサービスも利用しました。いくらか覚えてませんが、かなり安かったです。

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel

Super schön eingerichtete und großzüge Zimmer. Leider teilweise abends etwas lauter aufgrund der Nähe zur Haupt-Ausgehmeile (Ave 5) Dafür liegt es super zentral in Playa del Carmen und nah zum Strand, Shopping und zum ADO-Busbahnhof.

This place is great! I want my friends and i to book this whole hotel next time we are in Playa. Your on the 5th Ave. Near everything... So everything is mire expensive but to blocks away the food is great and cheaper. Walmart is the next block up. This place was great.

I hope we do book that whole hotel ourselves oneday.
