Overall Ratings & Reviews North Side Studios Sayulita

No one accountable for check in, not even after talking and scheduling an specific hour to meet

I had a great stay, there was a time where I had to buy a toilet paper roll. I had a few bugs visit my room and bed, but honestly I enjoyed my stay. Location you have everything right there, a store under the studios.

The apartment was in a great location, close to everything walking distance in town. The street outside however is loud and busy. A great place to stay.

Todo muy bien sin problema. Excelente estancia

The place itself might be nice, but we were not able to get access. There are no check-in instructions, and no one is available to communicate with - we’ve sent emails via hotels.com with no response, and the phone numbers listed both on the App and on the door of the apartment are inactive. We eventually went elsewhere. Save yourself the aggravation.

The property is located a couple of blocks from the bus stop, which happens to be a real big convenience if you want to explore Puerto Vallarta, San Pancho and Lo De Marcos, economocally. It is an easy 5 minute walk from the bus station to the hotel. The bus stop is right at where pretty much all the business's start, on the only incoming road to town. Pro tip: The buses vary is price, but expect to pay no more than 50 pesos for the farthest destinations . That's about two dollars. The place is clean and is an excellent value, the staff is friendly and the place is relatively quiet, compared to the town sqaure. You'll be with 100 feet of some grest restaurant choices, and almost directly under the studio's is a drink cart where you could grab a chair and get an ice cold drink. The one thing I disliked but got over quickly was having to wait for 30 minutes for someone to come give me the code, which could have been done over the phone. I also had an additional hiccup where I was lokced out, as were others, from the main door. The battery had died on the lockset. They did come and open after about minutes. I was a little tocked but got over it. They did come and change the entire lock out the following day. All in all its an excellent value, I think management and or the owner needs to be more cognizant that people can be exhausted after a long day of travelling, do have someone there is a much easier way to do business.

Clean & comfortable. Only problem was a few roaches. Freaked my gf out. Maybe they should spray or maybe the previous guest left food out

The good: Great location, a block or two from the beach and quick 5 minute walk to the plaza. Had a cold A.C. mini fridge, and wifi. Glasses and plates provided. Daily cleaning service, option for fresh towels. Very roomy, and clean, great decoration. Property manager was helpful for check in(see below). The bad: Was difficult to get a hold of someone a day or two before our arrival as the "number was out of range". Called hotels.com but they were no help, as they got the same message. The number on the site seemed to be outdated, so dont know if the propety or the booking site is responsible for that. Finally i got a hold of the propety manager Brian through the AirBnb app and he was super responisve and very helpful there. Check in was quick and easy with the detailed email he sent me, also included things to see and do while in Sayulita. Side note, the correct number is on propertys main door. The water pressure was low, but the water was warm or cold as needed. Shower drained slow so I kept the water off as much as possible as to not stand in a puddle. Had an insect or two on the first day, but killed one and one disappeared never to be seen again, no other sighting since that point..may have been squaters. i think sealing the windows and doors better. would solve this...otherwise super clean. Can be a little loud at night and in the a.m but its expected as you are near a few bars and restaurants. Overall pleasant experience and would recommend it.

Not as advertised, per hotels.com, each unit was supposed to have a fridge, kitchenette, coffee maker and microwave, none were available. The room was tiny and above a busy street, so much noise. We waited an hour and 15 minutes to check in... an hour and 15, just the most ridiculous check in process, we even called in advance...and still waited over an hour with our luggage in the streets.

Close to the beach and town. No internet in room as promised. Leaking toilet

Checking in is a nightmare as nobody there, loud party there as property is unsupervised. Not good property for Expedia- was very disappointed.

Nice, clean, functional, spacious. Good location - 2 min to the beach, 4 min to town plaza. Practically no internet. 2 days ok, no connection after that. Contacted with all the details (WiFi Ok, no dsl connection) - got a reply: we will fix it. Called again in 2 days — oh, yeah, I will take a look. Called the 3rd day — oh, really? I will come over an take a look. A guy came over, called to the ISP. Said, it will take them 3-5 days to fix it. So, that’s it then.

The property is located near the beach. Also near shopping and the Hippie market - great jewellery. It was difficult to find but my cab driver wouldn’t leave till I was able to communicate with the property manager. The bed was good. Single washroom. It is ok for 1-2 nites.

The place is great. Checking in needs to somehow be a little more clearly defined. But I loved it. Very cute, so close to beach and town. nice neighborhood

The pictures and write up about the apartment were not accurate. We were in a different area to the North Side studios. The room we were taken to was across the street from the other North Side Studios. The accomodation was one room with bathroom however the advertised picture showed a larger room with a lounge area and couches and countertop with bar stools. The description was inaccurate listing kitchenette with microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator (which was the reason we booked this property) The advertised property was not the one we were offered. The room was clean and comfortable but not what we booked. I should also mention the confirmation email from hotels.com listed these amenities as being in our room.

Room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The only negatives were I couldn’t get on the internet at all even though I was connected to the WiFi. The towels they provided were hand towels not bath towels. And there is no place whatsoever to put your stuff. No dresser, closet, nothing. I was only there for a night so no problem for me but if it had been a longer stay it would have been. Overall I was happy with my stay.

The room was very nice. Communication with the manager to get the pass codes was very challenging. The neighbors and another tenant were able to connect us and then all was good. Very comfortable and an easy walk to anywhere in town.

This place was very quaint and basic. We enjoyed our stay but there was a couple of things that would make it a little better. It’d be nice if there was a place/dresser to put your clothes and the lighting to come in to the property and in the hallway was nonexistent which made it a bit challenging when trying to punch in the codes to open the doors. It was nice to have a small table & chairs, the fridge and microwave. They also had a blender and plenty of dishes. The bathroom was very spacious and the bed super comfortable (memory foam). If you’re into watching tv,you’re out of luck, as there was no tv in the room. The wifi was hit and miss. When it was working it worked great. Overall it served it’s purpose for us, as we were just using the room for sleeping and not to hang out there during the day.

They didn’t clean the room during my stay, and you need to bring your own shampoo and shower soap.

We were given a beautiful studio for our stay. Nice decor and only a block from the beach! It is at a busy intersection in the mornings right next to a school and construction so you get street noise by 7:30am. Make sure you read the part about having no front desk and needing to arrange checkin the day before. It was a little difficult for me not having cell service in Mexico; an email address would be helpful along with a phone number in terms of communicating with the host.
