Great location
I had a good time staying here! The tv had more channels than regular cable so I enjoyed that. AC worked great. The breakfast is coffee, cookies, and cereal. The location was excellent, two blocks from the malecón with many restaurants around and an Oxxo in the back. The only problem was that my bathroom sink was leaking. And I didn’t know I could ask for a blanket until I saw them in other rooms and wondered why I didn’t have one. So my second night was more comfortable for sure. :)

Not as decribed on Hotels.com or their own website
The air conditioning in the dorm is only from 10 pm to 2 am when there are at least 5 guests!!!! Thus is not said anywhere when booking. The dorm room is situated between the office and bathrooms/pool area, so staff and others coming through at all times. It also has no windows so ridiculously hot when doors are shut and air conditioning is not on. It was miserable. Worst hostel experience in 5 trips to Mexico. I had to beg the rude girl at the front desk for a fan as I was the only person in the dorm who didn't work there. Awful experience. The young man who checked my bag in the morning was very nice, as was the hard working girl cleaning. Nice sitting area on roof. Kitchen lacked the essential items for cooking. No bottled water near kitchen for cooking.

Hostel fine but let down by chetumal itself
The hostel was ok, I’ve stayed in others which are much friendlier, and much less expensive. I stayed in private rooms each time. The problem and hence low rating is Chetumal itself. It’s not geared up for tourists. Locals and tourists head north to bacara as there is nothing to do in chetumal except shop. It’s popular with the Belize for that very reason. Better to stay in Tulum and then head to Caye Caulker.

Cheap hostel well located in central Chetumal
Hostelito Chetumal was very well located in the center of Chetumal in close proximity to food places (el taquito a massive recommendation for dinner!) and an ATM opposite, plus only 5mins walk to the ferry port to Belize! The hostel was very well priced, had a nice (if quite small) pool and great chill area with hammocks! A nice breakfast was provided with fresh fruit and cereals which was ideal. Room itself was spacious with 2 double beds and was no r and clean. Bathroom was a little smelly but nothing too major and not a load of hanging space, but otherwise a great room for a brilliant price and I would definitely recommend this place to others visiting Chetumal on a shorter break!

Great choice in Chetumal
Chetumal Hostelito is a fine choice for hostellers in Chetumal. Location is great—near the waterside promenade and in the heart of town—and the staff arranged pick up for guests by buses going on to Belize and Guatemala. The mattresses on dorm beds are new and comfy. And the bunks are well made and solid. Also great are large lockers that will hold your pack. Not so good? Breakfast is quite poor and served for too short a time. (7:30 to 9:00)

A great little oasis in Chetumal
We stayed four nights here over New Year's. It is right in the heart of downtown Chetumal, near the main shopping street and a nice little collection of good restaurants. The hotel is also a hostel and has people passing through it on the way to and from Belize. It is walking distance to the ferry. The rooms are comfortable and open onto the nice second floor common area. The whole place has a friendly, well run vibe, though I would not want to stay more than a night in the dorm area. It has some long-term tenants who are pretty weird.

Unassuming hotel on the outside, but great inside
Don't be put off by the unattractive street entrance. This is a very comfortable hotel, with nice, clean rooms, decent bathrooms, a great patio/pool area, an agreeable staff, and even a decent make-it-yourself continental breakfast. It seems popular with young travelers with good reason, it offers attractive rooms and good service at great rates. I did not stay in the dorm area, but that looked clean and appealing too. I would happily recommend this hotel to others.

Das Hotel ist nicht zu empfehlen. Wir waren vor 4 Jahren schon mal im Hotel , es hat sich zum negativen entwickelt. Das Frühstück besteht aus einer Tasse Kaffee. Schon nach einer Stunde unseres Aufenthaltes wurde unser Auto vor der Tür des Hotels aufgebrochen und unser Rucksack aus dem Kofferraum gestohlen.
