I would stay there again I would just bring a smaller suitcase.

A well located spot to crash between the proper city of Tulum and the beach/hotel district. I slept in one of the tents with an air mattress which was comfortable enough for a 20 something. All of the showers and toilets had some problem with water pressure. Other than that totally fine stay if you're on a budget. Use those savings to rent a bike from either the hostel or a nearby bike shop because everything will be just a bit too far to walk. You will get around fast on a bike than a car in the hotel district since it's a long simple 2 way road with no turn offs and over a mile of bumper to bumper gridlock at all hours of the day.

Friendly staff, Nice experience in the tube rooms. Everything was clean. Location is okay. I’ve had a great stay.

Not for the luxury minded

Postives - friendly and helpful staff, very good breakfast, funky, good though noisy location, reasonable rates. Negatives - Water pressure, water pressure, and water pressure . .

A little treasure!

Such a fun little experience! My boys loved the tubes, and the little kitties that came with them 😉 fun experience for a night.

Do it if only you are stranded

From pics this hotel looked inviting and chill with cool concept. However, rooms are horrible, shower has no water pressure, if someone flushes in the bathroom you are getting burned. Shower drain was clogged so it was not very pleasant. Kitchen was dirty. If you are not first 5 people to breakfast then make your own eggs, staff wont make any. Laundry service was overpriced, in the city it was 50% off. Rooms get so hot, AC units in the pics are just a false sense of chill. We had AC running for 10 min, turn it off for 2 hours. It makes tiny rooms really cold. We liked hammocks, palm trees in the courtyard, cheap bicycle rent on site.

Nice option for a night, not too comfortable

The hostel staff is friendly and helpful. Shared bathrooms spotless. However, this tubo idea for the rooms was not the most confortable. It feels like they could do with better ventilation. They have AC, yes. But the AC is few centimetres away from your bed, so if you are not a big fan of AC I would not recommend them.

Unique hostel

Was a unique hostel. Internet is almost non existent. Close to ruins and to beach but not ON beach. Good budget travel option.

Amazing hostel in Tulum

I absolutely loved this place. It was a short drive from the beach and it was very affordable. It had a such a unique feel to it and I loved how they made the rooms. The bed was comfy, the place was very nice and clean, and the breakfast was great. If I ever go back to Tulum I will stay here for sure.

Very original place

Very original place to stay, if you love the nature you would like this hostel

Not bad

Well presented unusual little hostel, very unique setting. Shared bathrooms were very nice, clean and with hot showers. The tubes themselves were relatively comfortable although got a little chilly at night so could have done with an extra blanket. Area felt safe but was a little in the middle of nowhere, quite a distance to the beach the ruins and the main restaurant/nightlife area. The breakfast was nothing to speak of, would recommend eating elsewhere.

Don't do it

This place is pretty cool looking on the outside but don't let that fool you. The smell of mildew in the tube is out of control. The space is small and uncomfortable. The location is inconvenient to both the town and the beach. The AC works so well in the small space that you will freeze all night. Your wet swimsuits and towels will not dry in the room and become stinky. With the amount of money we spent on washing all of our clothes and getting cabs everywhere we should have just gotten a better room. We nicknamed our room "The Dirty Tube" during our stay. Seriously there are better options in Tulum.

We left after only 30 minutes in our room.

My wife and I arrived late in the evening after reading good reviews and were excited to stay at such a cute and quaint place, however we left after only 30 minutes in our room. The lady and gentleman at the front desk were very nice and the service was pleasant, but there were just too many mosquitoes and the mattress and cover were so stained and disgusting that I contemplated sleeping with cloths on. I'm not sure if there were pillows, but a red centepede crawling from behind the bed was what made us leave. The the staff was more than accommodating and offered to give us mosquito repellent fresheners and incense to accommodate us, but we were too grossed out and were already covered in mosquito bites (I had 42 at that time) to stay. If you stay here, know it's more like camping (even if you have a tube room) just because you would need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow, and watch out for the bugs. That, and we didn't really expect the tube to be as small as it was. There's really only room for one bag under the bed. I really wish it would have worked out. Perhaps we were expecting something else, but we've never stayed in a hostel before.

Sleeping in a Tube

We would have loved our stay if the power had not gone out. Unfortunately, the power went out at just this place. They were hoping to have it fixed by 10:30pm but we were exhausted and had a big day planned and did not want to take the chance. The staff refunded us our money and we moved down the street. It sounded like this had been a problem in the past and I hope they get it fixed. Without air conditioning your are sleeping in an unventilated concrete tube. There is enough air flow from two small screened openings that you wouldn't die but if would be unpleasant. Plus there are many mosquitos so leaving the door open wasn't going to work. We had spent one night there already with no problems and were looking forward to the second. I liked the mattress and my husband and I were able to sleep together on the double bed. We are both tall - he is 6'4' and ended up sleeping toe to head. Not very romantic but it worked. Breakfast was eggs, coffee, toast and cereal in the morning. It was ready a bit later than expected but we waited. The wifi worked all over and the area is very cute with hammocks and plants. I liked the calm location that was still accessible to everything. I'm not sure if we would stay there again, but we probably just had bad luck.

Great experience in the tubes!

The mattress was super comfortable and the ac worked really well, making it a really great experience for one night. The staff was fantastic and fellow travellers very friendly. Breakfast was very good and the location is pretty great too. Overall a once in a lifetime experience !

Unique and Interesting set up for a hostel

We are not used to hostels, and sleeping in a round tube where the bed is, but it sure was an interesting experience and the breakfast included was awesome. Needed taxis to go to and fro to the up or downtown areas and to the beach and ruins and cenotes for swimming in caves. Not the best location coming off of transportation, but it was near a major convenience store outlet. All in all it seemed so well run and efficient that it was a unique experience for our first time at a hostel instead of using a hotel.

Charming short stay

A quick solo trip to Tulum for the first time in my life. Fantastic service - the friendliest lodging staff I had ever met. I was dubious about staying in a tent, but I slept so well with the cool breeze that comes in the evening and waking up to a peaceful environment. The tents are set up with a light and a fan, as well as a fairly comfy mattress. All my needs were taken care of. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. This could be improved upon somewhat, which may (or may not) help to reduce the number of mosquitoes.

Quirky and fun

Max was excellent. He gave us a warm welcome. Breakfast plentiful. The tubo itself is tight for space, but for a few nights of something a little quirky, this place was perfect. Opposite the police station and near the main supermarket.

Tubo tulum

Definetly overpriced but it was comfy. The staff was very helpful and rooms were clean. The bathroom showers were clogged but overall it was a pleasent stay. The hostel is across the street from the red cross and police station. I recommend you reserve bycicles prior to getting there.

nice facilities, but way overpriced for a hostel type place (you get your own room, but it's literally just a bed in a concrete tube, bathroom and lounge are shared) Tulum has tons of hostels so check around for better prices, though if you to stay here, it will be pleasant.

Mauvaise nuit car climatisation bruyante et trop chaud si on l’enlève,,, sinon l’idée est vraiment sympa, très chile comme hôte. Niveau vaisselle chacun se débrouille et on a pas tous le même niveau de respect du coup on peu avoir quelques surprises mais dans l’ensemble c’est ok

Me encanto la armonía con medio ambiente

Tranquila

Très déçu

90€ pour dormir ds 1 tube sans aucune place pour les sacs...le plus cher de notre séjour avec un confort au strict mnimum...

Mal , nunca pude ingresar al hotel, cuando llegué estaba cerrado con candado

Un lugar bonito, económico y bien ubicado

Al llegar me ofrecieron una habitación privada con baño compartido en lugar de la tienda de campaña originalmente reservada, nos encantó el lugar, sencillo pero muy bonito, está bien ubicado entre el pueblo y la zona hotelera, el desayuno incluido muy sencillo pero todo bien.

Me encanto súper cómodo todo

Für kleines Geld alles vorhanden freundliches Personal und gutes Frühstück

El lugar es bueno y estan cerca las playas más bonitas y las ruinas.

Me fue muy mal, justo cuando llegamos para el registro, se acercaron 3 tipos y nos asaltaron en el estacionamiento del hotel, me quitaron mi bolso, pero lo peor es que le cortaron la cara a mi esposo con un machete aún cuando no nos resistimos al asalto.

Decidimos quedarnos aquí por la experiencia, la cual no fue de lo mejor, el tubo olía a gato, la luz se iba y llegaba a cada rato, es caro para lo que ofrece tal vez es algo no común pero si vas a gastar 700 por una noche es mejor un cuarto de hotel que claro que encuentras en ese precio y con muchas más comodidades.

Tulum

El personal es increíblemente amable, y siempre tuvieron buenas recomendaciones para nosotros. El espacio en las habitaciones tipo tubo es un poco reducido, pero se entiende. El área esta bastante tranquila y cerca de restaurantes, la playa, el súper, y tiendas. Me sorprendió lo limpio que estaba todo, eso sí recomiendo llevar repelente para mosquitos, porque de esos hay UN CHINGO. Tienen cobertores de cortesía, pero yo recomiendo llevar el propio. El desayuno sí bien esta incluido, esta un poco limitado, pero se compensa con la posibilidad de preparar tus propios alimentos. En general el lugar esta bastante acogedor, y el personal es cortes, amable y siempre esta dispuesto a ayudarte en lo que puedan, con una gasa, o para darte recomendaciones. Tengan cuidado con el gato, es sumamente cariñoso, juguetón y trepador, y luego cuando mueves el auto y sí esta acostado en el jardín no sabes sí mejor irte a pie para no molestarlo, cargarlo y acomodarlo en otro lado, acariciarlo o llevártelo:(. Una buena recomendación es llevar un poco de dinero extra, todo es algo costoso en la ciudad.

SUGERENCIA

Pudiera ponerle un 8 pero la verdad me la pienso por qué para esto es la observaciones o sugerencias, para mejorar!!! Para mi cuenta mucho el servicio con respecto a la atención del personal la última persona mujer del la 2 noche (mujer) nada servicial, muy déspota e indiferente y es la cara del Hostal, osea que calificó al Hostal por ella. Y algo que no estoy de acuerdo es que allá animales (gato y perros) en toda el área (cocina, comedor, salas, arriba de ellas) ... Lugar que uno ocupa y es antiginenico en mi forma de ver!!! El lugar como tal me quedó satisfecho, por qué no engañan en nada y por lo menos cubrió mis necesidades y fuera de lo anterior si lo recomendaría!!!

Rekommenderas!

Det var ett väldigt coolt boende, riktigt chill. Dåligt tryck i vattenkranarna överlag, men definitivt inget som var jobbigt. Läget var super!

Lugar de ensueño ahorro en hospedaje

Pasamos dos noches en tubo, es solo la cama, el AA es más que suficiente para el espacio los servicios comunes muy limpio y suficiente, el ambiente increíble muy recomendable si quieres ahorro en hospedaje

Vistelse på tubu Tulum

Vi fick ett litet tält att bo i. Väldigt oskönt med tanke på att tältet låg bredvid toaletterna och personalens städ förråd. Vi hörde varje natt folk som gjorde sina ärenden på toaletten. I tältet fick vi inget täcke utan ett lakan. Det blev väldigt kallt under nätterna vilket resulterade att vi fick sova i långbyxor och långärmat. Frukosten var helt ok. Men fortfäandte bedrövlig, kall äggröra och bröd var det enda som serverades. Te hade varit slut i flera dagar utan att ha fyllts på igen. För 500 pesos/natt ska det inte behöva vara tomt På te påsar. Hostelet drar även in mer pengar än vad man tror, att hyra en cykel kostar 80 pesos och cyklarna var uthyrda varje dag, och man har ungefär 13 cyklar. Handdukar kostar också förövrigt. Tvätt kostar 100 pesos. Osmakligt hostel med inte så bra service. Vattnet fungerade knappt, det tog 3 minuter att diska EN tallrik.

Original!

Très belle place écologique. Par contre l'ambiance était nulle. Pas droit d'alcool, endroit trop calme et douches froides.

思ったより狭くて蚊が多かったです。 予約ときの見落とし？かもしれませんが、現地でテントと分かりガッカリしました。か、値段的に仕方ないと割り切って宿泊。 楽しい反面 隣のテントと密着してるし、ベッドは湿気っぽかったので、この条件だとお得な感じはしませんでした。

El hostal tiene un concepto original y divertido y las personas de ahí son muy atentas y serviciales, pero les hace falta limpieza en áreas comunes como los baños.

Attention aux taxes

Nous avons eu la mauvaise surprise de se faire charger des taxes aucunement mentionnées dans la réservation. Mis-à-part ce désagrément, le séjour était très bien.

Un hotel para relajarte

De maravilla , personal súper amable

excelente lugar

el lugar es único y original, se encuentra en un lugar cercano a lugares bonitos para conocer y a la vez estratégico para moverse a otros más lejanos sin tanto problema.

Original y cómodo

El personal del hotel es muy amigable y te ayudan en lo que pueden. Hay bicicletas que te prestan para desplazarte. Los cuartos están muy bien y son cómodos y por supuesto muy originales. El aire acondicionado funciona muy bien y los baños siempre están limpios. No limpian la habitación todos los días ni hacen la cama, pero la verdad no hace falta. Puedes acomodarla tu sin problema

Hotel muy original en tulum

Excelente el hotel muy original

una experiencia diferente pero sumamente agradable

una experiencia diferente pero sumamente agradable donde la comodidad y la naturaleza te permiten relajarte

Comfy place - good for lonely travellers

Had a great time. So good to have a roomby myself and no form- but still not expansive. It is comfy, clean, safe und also toilette and kitchen is really clean. Everybody is friendly. Only thing: Bikes are all bad- Rent it somewhere else. i would stay here again :)

Muy agradable.

Habitaciones originales y cómodas, el personal muy atento y amable.

unico

muy bonito concepto

Bonito y con cocina pero habitaciones poco comodas

Ubicacion regular, solo supermercado cerca. Recepcionista de tarde muy servicial y encantador. Los de la mañana ni interactuaban. Cocina en buenas condiciones. Pocas duchas (3 para 25 personas y una se estropeo unos dias) y baños no demasiado limpios. Habitacion muy pequeña, dificil para organizarse, especialmente una pareja. Decoracion muy bonita y cuidada. Desayuno bueno pero a partir de las 8 y algo aparecen los huevos...

Fiffigt boende nära det väsentliga

Kul ett par dagar men sedan enerverande med liten boendeyta. Fräscht, AC, riktigt näta supermarket och centrum, billiga cyklar att hyra och 10 min cykel till fina stränder och charmigt restaurang-/butiksstråk vid havet. Trevlig personal som höll kontinuerligt rent och odlade egna grödor. Men ta med myggmedel för myggor vid kök och badrum bits fort och mkt! Dessa slapp vi dock i våra rum, skönt! Och borsta tänder/drick egenköpt vatten, ej deras om du har känslig mage. Ett bra hostel.
