Great Hostel and Great People, Skip the tours.
Stayed for 3 nights in a 12 bed dorm which has it's own bathroom with two toilets, showers, and sinks. The dorms also have a locker for each bed (make sure to bring smaller than average lock). I forgot to pack a lock and the front desk had them available for 7 USD. The staff all spoke English so if your spanish is a little underdeveloped you will be okay. The rooftop pool and bar area is nice, in the evening there are djs. Be warned you will be able to hear it from your room and it goes until 1am so if you are a light sleeper and not much of a partyer it might bother you. First morning I took part of the Cenote tour that the hostel offers. The comman space inside is large and comfortable. The volunteer guide walked us to the closest supermarket so we could get ourselves snacks, drinks, or pesos of needed, then walked us to the collectivo stop to then go to the Cenote location which has 3 stalactite cave cenotes, one you can repell down a rope into. If you're familiar with collectivos and speak even a little bit of Spanish you're better off checking out cenotes yourself, but it was a good way to meet some people at the hostels. I do not recommend the chichen itza tour the hostel offers, look up 13 Baktum tours to see the negative reviews. You're better off going with a different company or arranging your own transport to chichen itza. Try to arrange yourself at least 3 hours in the park to be able to see and appreciate all the ruins without rushing through.
