Hotel Batab

“Simple hotel, well located and cheap - clean rooms, hot water, soap and towels all provided - purified water available in the hallway - staff friendly - not check-in time limit and late checkout”

“Friendly people at the reception. Many people cleaning the rooms. Good working AC. Price/quality very ok. Near the ADO bus station.”

“English speaking staff are actually few and far between. I think 2 staff spoke limited English: one in the restaurant and one at reception. But they were very friendly and totally cool working with my limited Spanish. Restaurant food was pretty good, but prices were higher than anticipated in this very middle of nowhere location. Skip the nachos, had a funny taste, but the chilaquilles and beef dish with tortillas were fantastic. Expect to pay $5-10 for food, excluding drinks. Beer is ~$2. Staff were very friendly and helped with what they could. Don’t expect the “do not disturb sign to be honored.” I don’t get my room cleaned for short stays and they entered and cleaned anyway despite the sign being up. I normally tell them, but they cleaned it long before checkout time, so I had planned to tell them around the time I assumed they would be cleaning. They cleaned the room while I was at breakfast around 10am. TV has no English channels, but it’s a smart TV and you can log into Netflix or play videos on YouTube which is nice. Price says tax and city tax are included, but they add some random fee of 50 pesos. This is not included on booking.com or your reservation confirmation, but you will receive an additional message before arriving about a $25 pesos/night environmental sanitation tax. This appears legit and was enacted in January 2019. This is a very basic hotel and you get what you pay for, but if you are just traveling through Cancun and not here for the beaches, it’s clean enough and sufficient.”
