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.

I do not usually leave a review on a place but this place does have to get a review, I arrived at this hostel for two days and finally stayed there for almost a week The atmosphere in the hostel is very very good and easy and fun to meet people there, the whole hostel is equipped with a huge kitchen, hammocks and in general feels like you are in the jungle I did not like Tulum but it did not really interest me because I spent most of the time in the hostel I had as a family. Recommend everyone to go there and not to the other expensive and not fun places that are in Tulum!

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!)

Hostel Che Tulum opens its doors in a large and fresh place in the city center, with a great pool and a large green area to enjoy. Tulum's archeological site is just 2.9 km away.

Tulum Bus station is 900 metres from Hostel Che Tulum, while Bus station Tulum Ruins is 2.2 km from the property. The nearest airport is Cozumel International Airport, 64 km from the property.

Amazing place with amazing people. Since the first step in the hostel you can feel the great vibe. You will be treated as family and you will enjoy a big amount of plans that they organise EVERYDAY for the guests to visit, from cenotes, beaches or hidden gems (as well as parties if you are interested). If you have the chance, enjoy the scuba diving taught by David and Diego. Great hand for experts and beginners (even the ones that are more scared!!). They are great professionals and they know the reefs and cenotes like the palm of their hands Thanks to all of you that make me feel at home, from Paco, David, Laia, Lautaro, Andy, Vir and all the rest! In love with Che and their spirit. We will see each other soon, definitely!

Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, a garden as well as a shared lounge, Hostal Doña Lucha is located in the centre of Tulum, 3.6 km from Tulum Archeological Site. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Certain rooms at the property include a patio with pool view.

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 travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Everything was just perfect. Alejandra is an absolute angel & she made sure that everyone (not just us) felt welcome and almost at home. When we arrived we got a Welcome Drink which was just amazing. The breakfast was unbeatable, the location is like a tiny paradise and the other employees are just as nice. Pool is a big plus and very Clean. You can rent a bike for noch charge to explore Tulum. Even when we left Alejandra made sure to tell us that we could contact her at any time if we need help during our travels. Best Hostel ever.

    If you love cats and dogs this is the best hostel. It's a cool concept and surprisingly comfy. The tubo was great, perfect amount of privacy at an affordable price. The location is super convenient for everything, the beach is a 10min bike ride away, and the ruins are a 10min bike ride away.

    I love camping chavez. Always my favorite place to stay in tulum as it's quiet and the people are so nice, you meet new people, you always have a great time there. Is a basic camping but there is hot water , free delicious coffee, animals to cuddle with, amazing view of the beach, great location, friendly staff and just a great place to relax and feel really like you don't need anything else there just being barefoot and enjoy life.

It is modern, clean and well designed throughout,. Bed was super comfy and Aldo, Ellie and Jehiel were lovely! A home from home so was really hard to leave. Highly recommend and is up there with the best hostels I have stayed in. Would happily stay here again when back in Tulum
