Editorial
Hotel overview
Located a short walk from Palenque's main bus station, this modest hotel caters well to travelers looking for convenience and basic comfort. The atmosphere is casual, with a rooftop terrace providing a social space to relax after exploring the nearby ancient Maya sites.
Rooms offer simple amenities such as fans and comfortable mattresses, although air conditioning and hot water are not available. Some units include kitchens, making it easier for guests to prepare their own meals. Despite the lack of some services like parking and breakfast, the friendly staff and clean shared spaces lend a welcoming vibe.
The hotel's proximity to key attractions like the Zona Arqueológica Palenque and the Temple of Inscriptions makes it a practical choice for day trips. While it sits near a busy road and a school, noise levels are manageable for most guests. This stay suits backpackers and short-term visitors seeking value near Palenque's cultural points.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This hostel has a great location if you are arriving by bus, given that it’s only 280m from the station. The hostel is simple, comfortable and has a lovely terrace. The rooms have fans and the beds have some curtains, also I found the mattress very comfortable:) Definitely recommend if you are planning on making a short stop in this city. Also, the people working there were very kind and available, another good reason to spend a night here :)”
“Nice and big private room with a comfortable bed. Two bed. The shower doesn't have hot water and or shampoo. But otherwise it is good value for the money you pay. It can get noisy from outside since you are right next to a elementary school and the main road is not far, but it is not too bad otherwise.”
“Very close to the bus terminal and also the busses to the ruins and waterfalls. There is a kitchen and a rooftop and the dorm has big lockers. The mattresses were the most comfortable I have seen in a long time! We arrived early off a night bus, and it was no problem to drop our bags in the morning, and we were even allowed to check in early! Wonderful hostel”
“We had a wonderful time, the hostel is close to the center and it’s easy to move to the archeological site and the waterfalls. The roof top is great to hang and eat with other travelers. We felt safe and really recommand it!”
“this places located very close to the city centre and also the ad us terminal. I initially reached to keep my bags in the locker and freshen up but ended up booking a bed to sleep during the day as I had to catch aado bus overnight. the service was good there main problem I faced was the heat. the dorm rooms on the top floor does not have air condition and during the day it was too hot to manage with just fans. the places it little old and repaired maintenance. but this was the only hostel in this town at this place so cannot complain much.”
