Hotel Mundo Joven (Cancun, Mexico)

Guests have lots of good things to say about the private rooms and suites at this Downtown-Cancun residence. Most find them spacious, spotlessly clean and nicely furnished with super comfortable beds. The suite with whirlpool is also a hit with weary travellers in need of some pamper time.

Travellers often choose this hotel for its proximity to the ADO Bus Terminal, which runs a regular service to Cancun International Airport. Reviews confirm the terminal is a five-minute walk from the hostel door. Buses also run to Nichupte-Lagoon beaches and Cancun’s Party Zone from here.

Hungry guests appreciate the free breakfast at this hostel. Served on a sunny rooftop terrace with views, this morning meal is said to be simple but adequate enough to stave off hunger until lunch. The free onsite parking facilities at this property are another big plus point.

This property's communal bathrooms come in for some serious stick from reviewers. The relatively small number of showers is mentioned by many. Others describe the facilities as grubby and notice broken amenities. Due to heavy demand, a constant supply of hot water is not a given either.

Guest frequently complain about this hostel’s complementary Wi-Fi, which can be frustratingly slow at times and is prone to dropping out. Though reviews confirm it to be adequate for checking emails and other simple online tasks, streaming movies in bed might not be an option.

A good night’s sleep isn’t guaranteed at this lively international hostel, which some describe as poorly-soundproofed. Reviewers report disturbances from bars and clubs in the immediate vicinity. Others find their pillow-time cut short thanks to inconsiderate guests making a din in the corridor on their way to bed.
