#8 of 9 hotels in Tulum Town by Axel's take. Tulum Town is #1 of 7 places to stay in Tulum. The best hotels in Tulum Town, ranked · Where to stay in Tulum

Axel's take: 7.7/10

A convenient downtown base, but noise and unreliable water deserve caution. A simple downtown hotel-hostel opposite Tulum’s ADO bus station, scored for what it is.

Straw Hat Tulum is a simple hotel-hostel opposite the ADO bus station, not a conventional full-service three-star. It’s a good pick for travelers who prioritize transport, nearby restaurants and basic, characterful rooms. Expedia’s overall rating is strong, with cleanliness a particular plus. The current Hostelworld listing offers private rooms and a dorm, and places Straw Hat’s original rooftop party bar a five-minute walk away—not upstairs.

The trade-offs are meaningful: recent Expedia and Hotels.com guests report loud music, missing hot water and, in several cases, interrupted water service or plumbing problems. Hotels.com also lists virtual reception, so arrange arrival instructions beforehand rather than expecting a staffed desk. We’d consider it for a short, independent downtown stay, but skip it for dependable quiet, hands-on service or a beach holiday.

  • Best for: Independent travelers using ADO buses; Budget-minded downtown stays; Travelers interested in nearby nightlife

  • Watch out for: Street and restaurant music; Reports of water and plumbing problems; Virtual reception and advance arrival arrangements

  • Location: Opposite ADO, with restaurants nearby; this is a downtown base rather than a beach property.

  • Rooms: Private rooms and a dorm are advertised; guests praise basic comfort, but noise and plumbing can undermine it.

  • Cleanliness: Generally a strength: Expedia lists a 9.2 cleanliness rating, supported by recent positive comments.

  • Service: Some guests praise helpful responses; Hotels.com lists virtual reception rather than a staffed front desk.

  • Amenities: Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and a garden are listed; the original rooftop bar is a short walk away.

  • Fees and surprises: Breakfast costs extra; Hostelworld flags excluded taxes, and parking is nearby or on-street rather than a dedicated lot.
