Moloch Hostel & Suites is a hostel on Calle Margaritas in downtown Cancun (Centro), Quintana Roo, Mexico, with family rooms, an outdoor pool and a 24-hour front desk. The location is in the city centre, close to Parque de las Palapas, the markets and the restaurants of Avenida Yaxchilan, and within easy reach of the main ADO bus station. The Cancun airport is roughly 20 to 25 minutes away by road, and the Hotel Zone beaches can be reached in about 15 to 25 minutes by bus or taxi. The hostel offers a mix of dormitory and private accommodation, which makes it more flexible than a typical backpacker hostel, and it is one of the options in the centre that can host families. Accommodation includes Dorm Beds, Private Rooms and Family Rooms, so solo travellers, couples and parents with children can all find a suitable layout. Listed amenities include a pool, a garden, a shared kitchen, lockers, a 24-hour front desk and wifi. The outdoor pool and garden provide a place to cool off in the heat, and the shared kitchen lets guests cook their own food, while the downtown area has many inexpensive local restaurants and taquerias nearby. The 24-hour front desk is helpful for late arrivals and early departures linked to flights or buses. Nightly rates run from about MXN 315 to 1,050 (approx. USD 18 to 60), which is among the lowest in the city, and the rating of around 4.1 reflects reliable value rather than luxury. Service is informal, and staff can advise on local buses and day trips to Isla Mujeres, Tulum, Chichen Itza and cenotes. Visitors should expect shared bathrooms in dorms, simple facilities and some street noise, and should plan transport to the beaches, as the hostel is not on the coast.
