HOSTAL agradabel con personal de primera

Desde que llegue,la atención de Andrea (recepcionista) fue de primera, nos asignó una buena habitación y la atención de los demás trabajadores fue excelente. En la noche ellos realizan actividades en la terraza del Hostal, desde música en vivo hasta asados y noches de sushi. Totalmente recomendado, si vuelvo a ir a playa del carmen, seguramente me hospedaré en Hostal el Che!

Estadia não foi como o esperado

A princípio estava no quarto compartilhado misto. As camas são confortáveis e o quarto é grande, mas a limpeza do banheiro deixou a desejar. Fizeram confusão com a distribuição das camas e deram a minha cama para outro hóspede. Deu muita dor de cabeça, pois a pessoa que estava na recepção no momento, não sabia o que fazer. O problema foi resolvido somente no dia seguinte, por outra pessoa. Troquei para um quarto compartilhado feminino e foi bem melhor, inclusive em questão de limpeza. Tem tomada ao lado de cada cama e o banheiro era limpo. O hostel tem uma boa área de convivência, com piscina e bar. Tem café da manhã incluso e cada dia da semana tem alguma opção de jantar para os hóspedes (pago a parte).

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Muy buena ubicación y buen precio, pero algo sucio

Es buen hostal si quieres estar cerca de lo mejor de playa del carmen y no gastar tanto en estadía, sin embargo puede tener en mejores condiciones las instalaciones como por ejemplos los baños que no cerraba la puerta por fuera y la regadera salpicaba el agua, ademas de que creo se puede mejorar mas limpieza, Como experiencia estuvo bien, pero dudo en regresar a un hostal.

Opção com bom custo x beneficio.

A estadia no local foi boa, o unico inconveniente é que 3 dos 4 dias que ficamos hospedados o chuveiro nao tinha agua quente e saia pouca agua. De resto uma atendente da recepção que não era nem um pouco agradavel. A parte boa é a limpeza, localização do hostel e café da manhã.

PARA PASAR LA NOCHE

Si buscas un lugar donde te mimen y concientan, aquí no es. está para conocer gente buena onda, para quien solo ocupa donde pasar la noche con poco presupuesto y planes al exterior mayormente. cerca encuentras donde comer, la quinta avenida a dos cuadras, bares, restaurantes, centros comerciales... y si estas cansado y quieres un trago en la parte alta tienes lo que ocupas

Ok stay at Hostel Che

The stay here was ok, met some cool people, but it was hard to tell the difference between the people who worked there and their friends that were always there. I felt like I was intruding on them sometimes, and helping the guests was sometimes a second priority. Good location, maybe four blocks from the beach, two from the main shopping/restaurant/bar area.
