I had a mixed experience at Selina Cancun Downtown. The location was fantastic, right next to the ADO bus station, which made it easy to explore Cancun and the surrounding beaches. However, my room was quite noisy due to nearby nightlife, and some facilities felt neglected. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, but it didn’t completely make up for the shortcomings during my stay.

My stay at Selina Cancun Downtown had a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, right by the ADO bus station, which made getting around super easy. I appreciated the friendly staff who offered helpful tips, but unfortunately, the room I received didn't match my expectations; it was small and had a musty smell. The facilities, especially the communal bathrooms and kitchen, could use more attention to cleanliness.

My stay at Selina Cancun Downtown was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the location next to the ADO bus station made it incredibly convenient for getting around. However, the cleanliness of my room left much to be desired, with housekeeping not deep cleaning during my stay. The vibe was chill, and the pool area was nice, but the noise from nearby parties and dogs barking at night disrupted my sleep. Overall, it had potential, but several issues affected my experience. 🌴😩
