Read one hostel to rule them all on travel and photography »
In a city with sweltering heat you need an oasis of quiet, some trees, and a way to cool down. So…take on big swimming pool, add a lot of hammocks, a lot of fans in the dorms, a large space to just relax or exchange stories, some helping staff and you get a pretty great start.
If you add to the mix people from all over the world, communal cooking, salsa lessons every day and guitar concerts in the evening the place becomes like a home away from home. And with a price of 120 pesos per night, Nomadas in Merida seems to be the new standard by which I judge hostels now!
