Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were amazing, looking exactly like the pictures on the website. The lack of heating reception needed for the room aircon was a minor inconvenience, but overall, the atmosphere at Selina was great.
The hotel has a convenient location for quick stops in Cancun, close to the ADO bus station and surrounding attractions. Although the rooms are equipped with necessary amenities, the loud music from the bar below and unpleasant odors detract from the overall experience. The service, except for one receptionist, is described as helpful and accommodating. The nearby parks and restaurants enhance the location's appeal. Dining options, while described as expensive, offer freshly baked European bread. For those seeking a budget-friendly stay, the high dining costs may pose a challenge.
Our stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although with a brilliant terrace, were unfortunately noisy until late at night due to their location near the reception desk. Despite this, it was still one of the best places we've stayed in Mexico, even outshining some fancy hotels. The service was pleasant, and the staff were helpful, although we didn't book any tours with them. The location, right next to the ADO bus stop, was convenient for our trips. The dining experience, with the best food I've had at a hotel, was top-notch. However, the price for some options seemed a bit high. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor issues to consider.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, being very close to the ADO bus station for easy transportation, but the area seemed sketchy at night. The service was friendly overall, with some exceptions at the reception. The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious offerings, although a bit simple. The rooms, while new, were small, humid, and noisy, lacking comfort. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were sufficient for a short stay.
The hotel was a bit of a hike from the lobby, the room was not as expected and had some issues like a leaking AC unit and dated decor. The pool was not connected through the hotel. The staff, however, was awesome and really friendly. The location was good if you plan to move on quickly, being close to the main bus station. The dining was decent with buffet-style meals.
Overall, my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms felt a bit cramped, like a broom closet, situated in a separate building from the main structure. On the bright side, the ensuite bathroom was a convenient feature. The constant noise from the nearby air conditioner made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The service was a mix of highs and lows, with staff members engrossed in their phones at odd hours but also being helpful with phone calls for tour confirmations. The location was convenient for moving on the next day, especially for those departing from Cancun via ADO, with plenty of dining options nearby. While the dining experience had good value for money, the long wait for cold eggs was a bit of a letdown. The facilities were adequate for a short stay.
The hotel has a great atmosphere and vibe at Selina. The rooms weren't very nice as portrayed in the pictures on Booking, especially due to traffic noise, but overall, they were alright considering the lively setting at Selina.
The hotel had its flaws, but it was decent for a short stay. The rooms were not very nice, a bit dirty, and didn't match the pictures entirely, though they had a private bathroom. The service was very helpful and friendly, offering various assistance like car hire and resolving issues. The location was convenient, particularly for travelers using the ADO bus station. The dining experience had good options but could be slow, and the facilities were adequate.
