Hostel Oryx Tulum features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and bar in Tulum. The property is around 4.6 km from Tulum Archeological Site, 500 metres from Tulum Bus station and 3.9 km from Bus station Tulum Ruins. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, a shuttle service, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

An excellent hostel, especially for international travellers. The staff/volunteers are all lovely and they are constantly organising events and outings which is nice; especially as everyone takes care of each other even with nights out in the town. The volunteers are like a little army of motivators who always want to make sure you're having a good time. The week I was there there they organised free salsa lessons, yoga class, games night and some tours I didn't go to but it seems people enjoyed them. The facilities are verry well set up, the place looks beautiful and has lots of spots to relax including a small pool. The kitchen is spacious which I liked because I like to cook. The bathrooms were always clean.

This place is on my top 2 best hostels in Mexico. I loved everything. Staff is great. The facilities were always clean and they kinda look like you're in a Hotel. Comfy beds and big lockers with sockets in it. The pool was amazing. They rent bikes for 210 pesos.

Overall atmosphere was lovely - it's a beautiful property with a number of cozy common spaces to spend time in. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Friendly and helpful staff with lots of tips, was able to easily rent a bike from the hostel as well to explore Tulum (much cheaper than a taxi!)

Tulum Bus station is 1 km from the hostel, while Bus station Tulum Ruins is 2.8 km away. The nearest airport is Tulum International Airport, 38 km from Hostal Doña Lucha.

Hostal Dona Lucha was a home away from home. The hostess Dani was so friendly and welcoming, she was helpful and knowledgeable. It was like visiting a relative. The shared room was comfortable and I slept well every night. No bed bugs but watch out for the mosquitoes. The bathrooms were always clean. The outdoor kitchen had everything I needed. The location is a short walk (10 minutes) from the ADO bus station. You need to walk through the sushi restaurant to get to the entrance. There are plenty of restaurants around and the Main Street is two short blocks north (where all the tourist shops and bars are). Dani or her colleagues can advise on cheaper restaurant options. The plunge pool was a perfect place to cool off.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very beautiful hostel, with nice garden and helpful staff. It has been nice to have some breakfast and unlimited coffee in the morning 😍 Dorms clean, beds pretty comfortable equipped with lines, curtains and power sockets. The general vibe is chilled and friendly. The spaces help to socialize, but also to spend some time by your own of needed. The best thing for me was Taco, the hostel dog, super quiet and cuddly. The best hostel I have stayed during my trip!

    Casa Abanico is a very quiet, clean, safe and comfortable place that is also decorated with taste. Mathieu is really nice and welcoming and the kitchen is perfect, everything’s available to cook. It’s really close to the ADO station and the colectivos so really great location to get around. We really loved our stay there in if we were to come back we would probably come back to Casa Abanico :)

    Good facilities with nice outdoor areas and a clean pool. The activities offered everyday are great and are definitely the highlight of this hostel. The room are simple, clean and modern. The dorm beds are comfy, with bed lamps, curtains and a power point. The prices for the bar and food are correct. You can find cheaper options for bike and motorbikes outside the hostel.

    The staff we’re really helpful and the property is in a great location and very close to downtown Tulum I’m just a short taxi journey or bike ride away from the beach. It feels very safe and secure with the main entry door locked, 24 hours a day (you do have a key).

    The most outstanding value for money we've had. Ever. The room is extremely clean and comes equipped with Top level equipment. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable, the internet fast, and the balcony perfect to eat on. The pools are amazing and available to use whenever. 5 star hotel experience for the price of a cheap hostel.
