Great hostel, two blocks from ADO as well as the central plaza. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, good breakfast, friendly staff. Kitchen well equipped and free to use, we even organized a barbecue-dinner with a bunch of guests. Had a very pleasant stay, can absolutely recommend the hostel. Could stay in the common area after check out and use the shower as well as the towel.

Breakfast, staff (helpfulness and friendliness), and location are three best things about the hostel. The shower room and the restroom are clean. Hot water for shower. Free drinking water offered at the kitchen comes in handy. Helpful travel info at front desk.

As an experienced hostel traveler, you know how hostels can be a hit-and-miss, right? Like, you know, it's a hostel after all, so if you want it to be clean, there is something wrong with you. Well, at Candelaria, you CAN have it both ways: you get that amazing hostel ambiance, AND and impeccable sparkling clean facility. I wish I had the ability and circumstances to turn my own place into the paradise Candelaria already is. Seriously. You will be blown away by the beauty of this place. Every small detail is impeccable, but overall, they come together to create a dream-like place. And make sure you get breakfast. You get SERVED your own custom-made super delicious breakfast sandwich, in addition to the staple cereals, juices, etc.

I don’t understand how this place has such great ratings. The guy on reception is so rude and not forthcoming when it comes to helping or even opening the door! He seems more interested in what’s on his phone. Such a shame as I think I saw the owner a couple of times and he was lovely and welcoming. It’s very cramped in the dorms and the bathrooms are old and a bit icky.
The breakfast is fab. The ladies cook and wash up which felt like a real treat!

Really lovely hostel in a great location. It’s slightly set off from the Main Street but only a few minutes walk. It’s a social hostel and great for solo travellers. The breakfast was really good, the rooms were clean and spacious and the communal areas were also nice.

In my room the hot water tap was on the right instead of left. After one cold shower I figured it out. So nothing!
I had a private room with a fan, not every room has AC, but it’s doable with the fan. The garden is very lovely. The staff organizes daily activities such as game nights too. The staff is very lovely. Two very nice ladies make you breakfast every morning and you get even more pancakes if you asked for it in your best Spanish. It is also very close to several buses to visit the Chichén Itzá.

Does not have a swing pool in common areas. Too many people in a room it tends to be super noisy. Everything was loud in the shared rooms the sounds of the door, the closets etc. People do not respect others sleeps the air conditioning was too low, and difficult to operate it. The room has windows without curtain and the sun enters early in the morning. There were not much information about trips or organized tours for group activities
The price Breakfast included was a nice surprise served by two efficient and helpful ladies Nice areas to hang out or read on the sofas or outside in the small patio

We stayed with my friend in female shared bedroom and it was really nice and cozy, but with 4 people in the room it felt crowded. The garden behind the building is beautiful with separate areas for bathrooms, kitchen and relax on hammocks. Breakfast is delicious, every day you get something different. The location is great, few minutes from the city center.

Sometimes it can be very noicy. Especially when guests arrive at 5am and ring and knock the door until the receptionitst wakes up.... We woke several times up before the door get opened. The receptionist also came into our room during the night to run the ac without a permition. A running ac at night by 18°C temperature outside?!
The breakfast is nice and consits of fruits and yoghurt, scrumbled eggs and toast. Of course tee and coffee is provided too.

Great hostel with very helpful staff. It's always full so they ask you to pay the first night via PayPal which i didn't like but it makes sense to secure the booking. Everything else was perfect. Very good breakfast, bikes in rental are in good conditions, also Valladolid is indeed pueblo magico. When i come back, would stay in Candelaria again.
