Hostel Candelaria

One of my favorite stays in Mexico so far! Hostel La Candelaria is a beautiful, welcoming place in a great location, close to everything and also within easy reach of the ADO bus station, which was so convenient. The owner and the whole staff are absolutely lovely : warm, friendly, happy and genuinely interested in helping you. You can really feel that they want you to have a wonderful experience and make the most of your time in Valladolid. And the breakfast… INCREDIBLE! 😍 Honestly, one of the highlights of my stay. I felt very comfortable and welcomed from the moment I arrived. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer and come back. I will definitely come back to Hostel La Candelaria next time I’m in Valladolid! Highly recommended.

Nothing

everything

The location is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

There were no activities to meet people. The AC is on only during the night.

The location was great, walkable distance to all things around Valladolid and a nice square in front. The kitchen / breakfast staff were really nice and breakfast was good! The dorm was very cheap and freed up some budget for a better hostel in our next stop.

The hostel & it‘s facilities are quite old and could use a revamp - especially the mattress are really old and uncomfortable. The whole hostel atmosphere is strange as wide social areas could invite socializing, classic hostel vibes or even new friendships to explore between travelers. Instead, there are no social activities, only loud music at night and reception staff that doesn’t speak a word with you. We weren’t shown the facilities and when we asked for additional information we were confronted with „I don’t know“. The internet is weak and there was always so much noise, either loud music played by staff or other travelers.
