There are many stairs to get to each floor and no air conditioning in common areas. There is no table in the room and no pool on site. The sheets were very scratchy and there is no blanket only a sheet to cover you.

Everything was wonderful about this experience. The service was excellent. The only thing to mention is the parking situation. It is a lovely security gated area, but there very limited designated parking for guests. The overflow is instructed to park in the public parking lot across the street, but it was full when we were there... Otherwise, all was very good. Location was great!

Lovely bed and breakfast. Clean, comfortable and very central! the location was excellent. the only not so good part was that the internet wasn't working in the rooms. so we had to hang out in the lobby to be able to connect. but other than that it was a great place to stay for the price.

budget friendly.
Due to the congestion, it made the experience undesirable. Service and location were amazing, the only downside was a lack of parking and it is very difficult to find parking in the location. At the gate, the security recognizes this place as Casa Che, which is also how it's identified on google maps.

Not so good. Book if you don't have another option
It was a bad experience overall. The toilet had a leak that totally left the bathroom useless. We booked this hotel for a single night after a long trip so we needed a shower and a good rest. That was not possible.

Good for the price, but bring your own microwave!
I stayed in one of the apartments, it had a full size bed and two bunk beds. Basic accommodations. Very nice common area for breakfast with wifi which was located in another building around the corner. Very nice and helpful staff. My only complaint is why oh why aren't there microwaves in these mini-apartments? Hot plates and little gas burners are so 20th century......

Great Location, Almost No Water!
Overall, this place had it's good points as well as bad. Here's my take. I was in the standard apartment. Pros: Very clean, great towels, quality toiletries provided, great a/c and fans, comfortable bed, fantastic quiet location, basic but sufficient for a low price, friendly staff. Cons: TERRIBLE water pressure. Just a trickle comes out of the shower so if keeping clean and having water to bathe is important to you, don't select the standard apartment. Also, the breakfast was questionable. I didn't eat it.

Avoid
I cannot emphasize strongly enough that you should not stay in this hotel. It was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. The room was damp and moldy and my partner found blood on the sheets at the bottom of the bed. Additionally, the back patio door was broken and they were unable to fix, offer alternative accomodations, or an apology/discount for this massive inconvenience (I mean the most basic function of a hotel is to provide its inhabitanys with a door that locks. They refused to do so and after extensive conversations wit the onsite manager as well as the regional manager in Tulum we recieved a rude and unsatisfacory response. Save yourslef the headache and avoid this hotel. There are plenty of hotels in the area that can offer a clean room, a lock on the door and a positive customer service experience. Unfortunately, Casa Che is not one of them.

No walls (yes, that's right), hostile staff.
There are no walls in the "room" we got. This place (and its many cockroaches and ants) might pass as a decent hostel. But when I hear "B&B," I think "charming." It is not charming. It is misleading advertising to post pictures of some room they may own and then put guests in a room that is like a hut...with cruel signs that say to be sure to turn the air conditioner off before you leave: there's no a/c. (Cuz no walls...) It was so loud (from actually being part of the outside) hat we couldn't even hope to sleep. We watched other guests ask staff how to find a taxi. Staff said they could not help. They also didn't seem to communicate with one another. We had made a request and when we checked in, staff was unaware. The location is not bad. Kind of charming area. Very touristy. But I was awake a lot googling how to contact emergency services if I needed them. Because I was scared. And just a flimsy little lock on the door, like a lock to a bedroom.

Tasty treat stolen money
The Good: The receptionists make some tasty Arroz con Leche. The bathrooms are clean. Quiet neighborhood. A bed and a half to a room. The Bad: The beds are really, really hard. I had $160 and a credit card stolen out of my bag while in Casa Che's care. The scuba company they partner with isn't the best.

good location hotel with friendly staff
we had a good time in Playa del Carmen, and most was for the location and the people we met, the staff did everything to make our stay a great one but unfortunately we had to change the room the 2nd night due to an overbooking, no elevator, hence if you are in the 2nd floor is quite inconvenient, extras like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel would be great. The building is nice, and rooms spacious. In general I'm happy with the place and it worth the price. thanks.

Good value, very clean, excellent location
We stayed 1 night while traveling between Cozumel & Holbox. We were able to leave our luggage when we arrived at noon and check in later. We were glad to have some help from people on the street so far as identifying the B & B. Location is excellent, in a quiet neighbourhood, about 4 blocks from the ferry terminal & ADO station. Staff were helpful when we arrived. The room was very plain, but clean. Breakfast was excellent, a good assortment of fresh fruit, oranges to juice, ham, cheese and eggs to cook as you wish. Che B & B is good value, close to the centre of Playa.

Excellent rooms with a magnificent location
Casa Che B & B is located inside PlayaCar, but very close to 5th Av and the beach. My room was not in the main building but has a lovely terrace and the beach was located only 2 min walking inside the private residential PlayCar. Security, attention and an excellent cost-benefit relationship.

Nice place, close walk to everything.
The Casa Che was a nice play to stay. We paid higher than expected due to the Christmas/New Year season, it was more than we would have liked to pay for what we received but overall was a nice place to stay. The breakfast was good, you can cook your own eggs and they have bread and fruit as well. The location is great, kind of difficult to find at first but they can send you the info and a map. Overall it was a nice place to stay for us. The location is a close walk to the beach and nearby shops, restaurants and 5th ave.

Beware the "penthouse"
We had the "penthouse" at $400+/night when I booked it. NOT worth it! $200/night would have been pushing it. Now, to be fair, it was Playa Del Carmen on December 26-28 so I am certain all were jacked up in price due to the holiday weekend, however, I have never paid so much and received so little in return in my life. These older buildings are always quaint for those who want something out of the norm but if you don't like being exposed to the elements, bugs, etc., this probably is not the place for you. It had a small kitchenette with a gas hot plate, a microwave and a refrigerator but the dishes, utensils and cooking supplies were very limited. The cabinet doors were made out of old cloth. No coffee maker, no dish soap, no dishtowels. There was no bottled water in the unit so you had to either bring bottled water in or go and fill your bottles at the main house. DON'T DRINK THE WATER. The unit listed two bathrooms but one only flushed about every fourth time and the door would not close. The bathroom off the main bedroom had sewer gas up through the toilet. There was NO air conditioning, only two ceiling fans and one table fan. The outdoor patio did help. It appeared as though this "penthouse" at one time may just have been the roof patio of the building that they tried to convert to a rental unit by putting up walls and a thatched roof. On the positive side, breakfast was adequate and the staff friendly.

Great location in a fantastic neighborhood over looking trees, a few steps from the beach & 5th ave. The staff was very friendly with a service of a 5 star hotel. They helped me so much. I would rate their service a perfect 10. They are a couple of blocks from the Ado airport bus station, thus no need to take a taxi. My room was very big (that is the only room i saw), clean with a nice bathroom. Quiet Neighborhood, perfect for sleep or work.
