Pros: We were grateful for its proximity to the bus station, wifi and breakfast. No curfew was helpful as we reached Cancun very late.
Cons: Our large party booked 3 rooms. We arrived at midnight to find only two rooms. They said they'd look into reimbursing us in the morning, as we had paid for three rooms. Despite the contract agreement, Kukulcan Hostel & Friends would not reimburse. They thought it was fine to give us fewer rooms than we had reserved.
A stay at Kukulcan Hostel & Friends places you in the heart of Cancun, within a 10-minute drive of Las Palapas Park and Market 28. Featured amenities include express check-in, express check-out, and luggage storage. A shuttle from the hotel to the airport is provided for a surcharge (available 24 hours), and free self parking is available onsite.
A stay at Ambiance Suites Cancun places you in the heart of Cancun, within a 10-minute walk of Plaza Las Americas and Ceviche Square. Featured amenities include a business center, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, and dry cleaning/laundry services. Event facilities at this hotel consist of a conference center and a meeting room. Free valet parking is available onsite.

Pros: Everything was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean. We had a wifi hotspot outside room, so very fast connection. We had plenty of hot water and water pressure.

Complimentary DVD's to choose from to watch if you'd like.
SMOKE FREE. Thank goodness.
Booking via Kayak saved me 50% off the price you'd pay if you reserved at the front desk. Not kidding.
There is nothing I didn't like about this hotel for this price point, and I have rather high expectations.
Comparable to a 3.5 to 4 star hotel in the USA.
