At the hostel, each room is equipped with a patio. My Sisters House - Female only offers some rooms with city views, and rooms include a coffee machine. At the accommodation the rooms include bed linen and towels.

I looooved ny stay in My Sister’s House, but the biggest reason is deeeeeffinitely - women there. I met such an amazing, strong, inspirational, smart and kind sisters there, that I would recommend this hostel to any solo traveler on this planet. It is really nice to feel safe, connected and chill when you travel alone in Mexico. Thank you for everything mi chicas! 😍 There is also a lot of great activities, yoga almost every day, hikes.. Love it, love it, love it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We had the suite with a nice big comfortable bed and private bathroom. It was lovely! Very clean and quiet. The breakfast was basic… coffee, tea, fruit and cake. The WiFi didn’t in the work, so we had to go to the main common area to work. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Overall, it’s a great hostel.
