Hostal Vive la Vida

Hostel

The hostel is very central, and has easy accessibility to a supermarket, a oxxo and a civic square where they sell regional snacks (corn, tamarind, marquesitas, etc. ), as well as a cafeteria. The room was very clean and the food service was excellent.

The place is nice, has good location to the central ADO and tourist centers of interest, the value for money is very good. Recommended. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because of the constant noise of the traffic out of the place. Becomes annoying.

It is a good place to be able to rest, it is very quiet and has a very rich and clean atmosphere. It is an ideal place to spend an excellent holiday, alone or accompanied by friends or loved ones, it is a place that is worth visiting, since it is not only economically accessible, but it is also a very good place despite being accessible in its prices. The bathrooms are clean although in the bed you lack a bit more cleanliness on your pillows. Regarding the breakfast and buffets are pretty good to be a continental breakfast, I really enjoyed the freshness of the food besides being so delicious, if I could visit it again, I would not hesitate to choose it. Although like any other place has its negative points, I think you need a bigger place to be able to take the meetings or the living room, it lacks a little more entertainment sites. I recommend bringing enough money for any expenses inside the hostel. Do not expect to be treated like a five star hotel, because obviously it is not if it is only a budget hostel. I recommend that LONVISITENNRN summer, Easter or Christmas, but if you want more tranquility, it is ideal to visit in months where there are not many tourists like May, September, November, February or March… Thank you. Nice day. Rolando.

La posizione è ottima. Ci hanno tenuto le valige. Veramente centrale, a 5 minuti a piedi dalla Quinta avenida, eravamo due ragazze e sembra sicuro. Non è possibile che il personale non parli Inglese. Abbiamo visto 3 reception diversi in 3 notti e solo 1 di questi parlava inglese. L'ostello è proprio sporco. Nelle docce è pieno di saponette incrostrate sui muri. Gli armadietti sono sporchi da fare schifo. La nostra stanza, al piano terra doveva essere una camera da due. Ce ne hanno data una con due letti a castello che puzzava di muffa terribilmente. I letti sono quello che sono. Ma le lenzuola erano sporche. Se volete asciugamani e coperte ve le dovete noleggiare a pagamento. (20 pesos) La colazione in teoria era compresa, in. Pratica non si è visto nulla. Forse meglio considerando la sporcizia della cucina. Belle I graffiti I cortile, che si vedono quando si va in bagno, eh si perche per andare in bagno devi passare dal cortile.

Excellent location and price, all very nice the place to leave your things and do your activities, just lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms.

For the costs it manages very well considering that you will find sercas of the nightlife area the facilities acceptable and transport very serca.

I enjoyed staying in this hostel.

Happy stay. Happy to be back. Lots of friends. Excellent atmosphere. Quality and good service.

Its name says all people from all over the world get there rest you bathe You eat something fast and continue your journey in Playa del Carmen.

The hostel is a great place! The common space is warm and friendly. It's easy to make awesome meetings. The atmosphere is relaxed and there is always some good music playing! Over all, we feel right at home at Vive la Vida! Thanks again for the pleasant stay :) :) :)

The location seems convenient but its in a street with heavy truck traffic all day long. Common areas are missing any comfortable furniture. Shared dorms are not in good shape: small lockers, old mattresses, and noisy beds/sheets made it hard to find a moment of quietness.

Not a bad place everything is kept fairly clean. Unfortunately our room didn't have any windows and smelled very moldy if the A/C wasn't on. They only run the A/C at night and when it was on it was literally a freezer, but luckily there's 24hrs reception so you can always get the remote and turn it off once the room has cooled down. Location is great.

Nice very clean and economical very gentle the owner.

Not as described. Cleanliness not up to par. Friendly staff though. Cheap. Close to food.

The rooms, the bathrooms and everything in general very clean. The Price is low and the location is good. Just have to improve a little more attention to make them feel at home.

Very pleasant place, about 10 minutes walk to the beach. Well organised and kept. Friendly and approachable staff and relaxed atmosphere.
The breakfast is not included but there's coffee provided in the morning (if you're quick).
The kitchen is very well equipped tho with massive fridge and even plastic containers which you can borrow for a day on the beach.
It has cool decor, nice paintings on the walls and good vibes.
I'd happilly stay there again and recommend it to the friends.

Super bien la verdad, calidad vs precio.

This cool for the one who is looking for Cotorreo, the place is clean, has shared kitchen and you can prepare your food there, a cooler for which you want to keep your things and the rooms are in good condition.

Stayed here in 2 months 3 times. Really friendly staff! They managed to get my passport back from the airport and took a lot of calls :). The location is great, less than 20 meters away from the collectivos and 5 min walk from both ADO stations. I would definitly stay here again!

A good place to rest, good friendly, accessible, clean price give you your linens to sleep, there is option to sleep with community comes out more economical, the only bad thing only to have fans and not is enough to calm the heat.

My friend and I really enjoyed our time here! The location is great, the atmosphere is really relaxed, the place is nice and clean and the straff is so nice! And good coffee in the morning is always a plus. I really recommend it!

A hostel with very good vibes both with the administration and with the guests that are coming.

Probably more suited to a younger, party crowd. I had booked a single room online — it turned out to be just a dorm room with no other occupants, and a thin sheet of wood separating it from the neighbouring dorm. The sheet of wood didn't connect all the way to the ceiling, so it was effectively like I was sharing the room with strangers — who talked solidly until 7am. In the hostel's defence, when I checked out early I was refunded the two nights accommodation without question. Altogether, I would recommend it for groups of younger travellers favouring cheapness over quality, but it isn't a place for a solo traveller or someone who wants privacy and quiet.
