Hostel Quetzal

Hostel Quetzal is a fantastic hostel. It has won several awards, including HostelBookers Award for Excellence 2010. If we could afford it, Jen & I would probably live here. We've joked about dropping by sometime to see if we can crash one of their parties, or one of their dinners, prepared by a professional chef!
 


It is located East of Yaxchilan Avenue, North of Coba (the H on the map below), right around the corner from another fine hostel (Hostel Haina).


It is ranked among the top 3 for 'Best Atmosphere in North America'. Jen & I have visited & can confirm that the hostel's staff & amenities (including the rooftop patio, below) are amazing.



The private rooms are nicely appointed, and the furnishings give this hostel the aura of a European villa.



Naturally, reviews of the hostel are excellent. On HostelBookers.com it has these ratings:


Location: 88.8%
Facilities: 92.8%
Staff: 96.8%
Overall: 94.4%


Its highest rating (97.6%) was for atmosphere, & if you're looking for a great hostel vibe, this is the place!

A Festive Spirit Permeates the Hostel
   
According to Quetzal's owners:


The new hostel quetzal offers an innovative concept in hostel lodging. Unique private en-suites and dorm style rooms combined with personalized service  in the heart of cancun.  Feel at home away from home, welcome to our home.


The new hostel Quetzal opens its doors to Cancun´s visitors with the comfort and inviting atmosphere of a new hostel. Situated on half a residential block, the hostel was once a private residence of a famous performing artist. 


The home was constructed with large rooms, arched doorways, high ceilings and beautiful interior decoration. Our new bilingual staffs are trained to give you a quality and comfortable stay, and help you with general information, tours, or disco tickets. 


Five private rooms are perfect for couples, families, or groups of 2, 3, or 4 persons. Each room has a garden patio, balcony or terrace. All our guests are served a full breakfast and enjoy air conditioning, a private bath, cordless internet 24-7, fresh linens, towels, laundry service, 24 hour reception, free coffee and tea and fresh fruits 24 hours. Meet our guests, converse about your travels and enjoy our cocktail parties and barbeques. The sky deck has become a favorite spot for sun bathing, star gazing and late night partying. The en-suite dorm room is located on the second floor for quiet and restful nights.


Guests have spacious areas for activities whether it is the main garden enjoying a weekend BBQ, the sky deck for sunbathing or stargazing, or the spacious & comfortable common room for a movie, x box or DVD. 


We have a complete kitchen facility and our staff will assist you in our kitchen and serve you in the adjoining dining room. Enjoy our cocktail parties available meanwhile we prepare to open our Latin bar with live entertainment where guests will mingle with local artists and students.


Location is everything. We're just 1 block from Parque de las Palapas, the largest public park in Cancun where you'll find cultural and social events almost everyday. We're one block from Yaxchilan Avenue where you'll find the best bars and restaurants in town. 3 blocks from the Tulum Avenue, Cancun "main street". From there you can take public transport to the beaches, Playa del Carmen, Tulum or to the ferry to Isla Mujures. The Cancun bus station is also some 5 blocks from the hostel.
