    This stay was amazing. Nice room. Great price, clean accommodation and superb host. Jonathan was incredible with his suggestions and deals regarding tours and places to visit. Breakfast is simply 10/10 prepared by his parents and staff members. I would recommend this place 100%. The location is also very very central.

    They are quite popular and I could only get an upper bunk to sleep in.

    The hosts are wonderful and very helpful. They put on a home cooked breakfast with fresh local fruits. The location is central and convenient with several attractions and the bus station within walking distance.

    This hostel was one of the highlights of my trip! Family run hostel who make you feel so welcomed and at home, everyone was so warm, friendly and helpful and were able to give the best advice for exploring the local area and making it a memorable stay. Breakfasts were amazing! Location is nice and central, Valladolid is a hidden gem of a town, I loved it. The hostel space and dorms were clean and well laid out. Thank you for an unforgettable stay 🙏

    We had an amazing time in the hostel. Luís and his family were very welcoming. It was easy to communicate with them before the arrival and helped with any questions we had. They even let us check in much earlier without being charged with any extra fees. The room itself was wonderful, always very clean, spacious, with beautiful French windows and a very cozy balcony. The common areas had great vibes and atmosphere, as well. Luís’ wife made amazing, traditional breakfasts and there was tea, coffee and water available for free throughout the day. Luís and his son, Jonathan gave us great tips when it came to programmes, restaurants and food. They even gave us coupons which we could us at the cenotes for free drinks and lockers. The bicycle rental was very affordable and handy, and we received all the help to find the safest and shortest routes for our destinations. We felt very welcomed the whole time and had the impression that we are part of the family. We fell in love with Valladolid, we felt like we could have stayed more and would 100% come back to the hostel!

    Great hotel managed by a lovely family. Jonathan has been really helpful from start to finish, recommending guides for Chichen Itza, beautiful cenotes, where to eat and drink... The mother prepared us a delicious breakfast in the morning, early enough to get to the Mayan sites at 8am. The whole family is really kind and welcoming! The rooms where super clean and comfy, the backyard really nice, peaceful and quiet. Highly recommended!

    We were close to everything in Valladolid. The local cenote was excellent. Jonathan gave 5star tourist advice be it excursions, restaurants, taxi prices local markets. His father recommended a good local bar where we got 3 plates of small food with each round of drinks and even a 7th extra plate after 2 rounds. Calle 41A was a nice road to wander down for less traffic & people & some good restaurants. The morning breakfasts were very good & we had one of the best city centre upstairs rooms with peace,quiet & ‘greenery’. We’ve stayed all round Yucatan , hotels , 2 mi Casa et tu Casa places, & a reasonable place in Holbox but this was the best.

    We loved everything about this place!!! The owners, Luis and Gaby and their son Jonathan who were all very friendly. The daily breakfast was amazing (fresh fruit and a different homemade Yucatecan food made by Gaby), I'm still thinking about the papadzules. And, Jonathan was super helpful with helping us book a last-minute tour we wanted to do of Chichén Itzá, Ek Balam, and a couple of cenotes -- the driver (Carlos) and the Chichén Itzá guide we had (Jorge) were both exceptional. What a lovely family :) Also, the beds were very comfortable and there were no issues at all with noise, water, or temperature control.

    Thr breakfast was cooked on the spot, we thought to bring packed breakfast to eat on our way to Chichen Itza but they couldnt make us one. So, we ate instant noodles for breakfast instead before heading out to Chichen Itza. My suggestion is to provide some biscuits or cereals eith milk for guests who need to head out early.

    We stayed here because we want to be the first to arrive at Chichen Itza. I didn't spent much time in the accomodation as I was out and about searching for food. The room was clean and it has all the basic necesities like mugs, hot water, drinking water in the shared pantry. The host Gabriella was friendly but we missed the Sunday breakfast because we left early for Chichen Itza. It is also close to Cenote Zaci, the market and the main square. The neighbourhood is safe. In all, it was a good place and i will recommend it.
