Bad Everything was dirty and i got the worst bite ever beware of bedbugs! Pool table dosent work really, kitchen is dirty. The room are small and crowded. They put their stupid music at 8 a.m. like if you dont need to sleep. The only good point about that place is to meet people. They know they having a bedbug problem there and dont do anything about it. Go there at your risk! — oliver , canada (2009-03-18) Very Poor Went to Tulum to see the famous beach and decided to stay in town to save costs. The Weary Traveler has a good reputation somehow, and its the place that almost everyone stays if they're not staying on the beach. The positive -- Everyone goes there so there's lots of other people to meet and hang out with. At night there's good atmosphere, just hope it doesn't rain in which case there's almost no where else communal that's not outdoors. They have a free shuttle that will take you down to the beach and bring you back, which saves you some money and is a bit of fun. The beach is not walking distance, so your other option is to take a taxi which is 45 pesos (US$4.50). The Negative -- Rooms rarely cleaned. Air conditioner in air conditioned room (which you pay more for) drips into a bucket that almost never get emptied while I was there so it would just spill all over the floor. All the mattresses had a lot of evidence of bedbugs, and my friend got a huge amount of bites across his back. I personally didn't get bitten and they did seem to be making an effort to eradicate them. All the beds are made before you arrive I think so that you don't see all the old blood on the beds from earlier infestations. You can have a look yourself. Breakfast time was disgusting with the outdoor kitchen with dirty cutlery, dirty tables, and bees everywhere.
You're not allowed to bring booze into the hostel, although seems to be becoming more common. To their credit, the alcohol they sold wasn't expensive and it was well stocked. The free internet was on two computers, one of which didn't work while I was there, and the other was too slow for any use other than to check your email, which would take fifteen minutes in itself to load. I had to view Gmail on its simple mode. The computers are always free because no one could stand to use them. The hostel's administration system is so slow, so you're always queueing up to pay them or change your booking. Sometimes it seemed to take forever. I always felt sorry for people who just arrived and they'd make them wait in that heat for so long while other guests are being processed. — Kym Thomas , Australian (2008-10-19) Bedbugs Be aware of bedbugs! — Lyrop , Swiss (2008-06-08) Fantastic! Fantastic hostel, brilliant atmosphere -- didn't want to leave! The rooms are maybe a little cramped, but the people make up for it. my favourite hostel in Mexico. — Beth , English (2007-09-12) This hostel is quite good. It is well situated (on the main commercial street), but calm at the same time, it provides a really good breakfast, perfect to start your day, and free fresh water. The receptionists are nice and give useful information. The atmosphere is really good and international, and in the night, everybody goes out to chill out together, so that's agreeable. The exterior area is quite big, with hammocks but not that much of a vegetation. The hostel provides a shuttle service to the beach too. And finally, it is very cheap. However, the disadvantages are that the rooms are not well aired, and despite the fan, they remain quite hot to sleep in. My personal room had a special smell due to something they had redone in the room or something else. There is only cold water for showers, so you have to be prepared for that! And finally, there is no private room. But on the whole, I recommend this hostel. — Julie , France (2007-04-03)
