While some of the other hostels in downtown Cancun have had a decade or two to establish themselves, the Hostel Mezcal first opened its doors in June 2014. With a festive atmosphere backed by the Party Rocker tour agency that owns and operates the hostel, it has a reputation for being the place to go for those seeking evening socializing. Prices are higher than at other downtown hostels, but for a reason; the rooms here are nicer, and the rates cover breakfasts and dinners by the pool, nightly themed events, and barbecues every Sunday. Those looking for a cheaper option with less activity might want consider Hostel Mundo Joven or Hostal Haina.

This 18-room mid-range hotel is a modern, affordable option within walking distance (but not in the heart) of downtown Cancun. Renovated in 2013, rooms are clean and contemporary, and all have microwaves and mini-fridges -- though the biker bar down the street can sometimes cause noise issues. There's a small courtyard pool, and the Hotel Zone beaches are a 25-minute drive away. A poolside cafe serves breakfast (basic continental items are free with some booking) and lunch. It's a perfectly serviceable option in this price range, but it's worth comparing rates with Oasis Smart and Ambiance Suites, which offer larger pools and more central locations.
