Description
We are a new friendly hostel in the beautiful city of Mérida, the capital of Yucatán. Our cozy hostel has 24 beds (one mixed dorm and one female-only dorm) and is owned by a young guy who loves to travel the world and meet new people. Our priority is to offer you the best hostel experience. We don't only provide great facilities but also a friendly environment to create a home away from home for our travelers. We currently have one manager and 3 working employees who are helping us running the hostel. The owner is currently sleeping at the hostel to supervise that everything is running perfectly well.
