Casa Wayak Hostal  

In downtown Cancún, just a short drive from Plaza 28 and Plaza Las Américas. Mercado 23, the Museo de Arte Popular Mexicano and La Isla Shopping Mall are all within easy reach, and the main bus station is a few blocks away for quick links to the beaches and airport.

A family-run lodge converted from a home in 2017 by Mr. Edgar and his family, Casa Wayak Hostal has a laid-back, communal vibe. Rooms are air-conditioned with flat-screen TVs and showers with complimentary toiletries; there are eight rooms in total. Chill on the rooftop terrace or the moonlit courtyard, read in the small library, swim in the pool under a flamboyant tree, and enjoy an informal, family-friendly atmosphere where small pets are considered.

Wake up to coffee on the terrace and dip in the pool or relax in the hot tub. The hostel features a rooftop terrace, garden, free on-site parking, laundry facilities, a tour/ticket desk and a common TV area. Shuttle transfers to the airport are available for a surcharge and luggage storage and express check-in keep arrivals simple.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, plus luggage storage and express check-in for convenience.

A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM with coffee, toast and fresh fruit. Evenings are social and low-key—grab a beer in the courtyard and swap travel tips with other guests.
