Location is great! It was pretty quiet. There's stores and restaurants around. It's a low-key area with everything ones need. It was squeeky clean. I stayed 11 days and it was very comfortable. Everyone on the staff was helpful and chill. Most of the guests are older, respectful and friendly. Loved it

I Really liked this hotel! The staff was so nice! It was spacious and clean. My bed was very comfortable and had what I needed (sockets etc). The showers were kept clean and were also spacious. The kitchen area was nice and the big room had lalot of comfortable seating and desk areas if you needed to work. The internet was outstanding. The staff was very attentive. Also they had an early morning guy that was super on top of things and unlocked the doors to let me go to a very early meetup. He was very nice.

Such a lovely, friendly hostel in a great location beside the bus station. We were warmly welcomed and right at home in this little haven of peace in busy Playa del Carmen. The shower was amazing and the morning coffee was a nice touch.

Great hostel, very cute - has a nice pool for the hot days! Location is also nice since it's away from the city center and you get to venture into the "real" Playa Del Carmen.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, comfortable and secluded cubicle beds, air-conditioned at night, great common areas, and a good kitchen. Jose is a star and makes your stay comfortable and memorable. I hate this word but Hostel Tropico 20 has a 'vibe'. It is not a party hostel but manages to get a great sense of community. Highly recommended.

    Nice clean and cheap hostel. The staff were really friendly and I felt very safe in this hostel with 24/7 reception. The beds were comfy and I liked the capsule design.

    Great location, 10 min walk from the main street and beaches, close to shops and bus stations. They have a cold water machine you can use at any time to refill your water for free. Aircon in the room although on only during the night. Wifi works great. There’s LOADS of space in the room to put your stuff, get ready, charge phones, etc. Great vibes from other travellers as well, one of few hostels in Playa that has female-only dorms.
