The location of this hostel is good because it is on a quiet road but a short walk away from the lively city. Most of the communal areas of the hostel are outside so make sure you bring something warm, as it can be very cold in the morning and in the night. The bonfire every night is brilliant to... More

I only stayed one night- 100 pesos plus 50 pesos key deposit. Except you dont get a key. The front door is always open-although there is people watching it, and the dorm is always open. You need to bring a lock for your locker. The wifi doesnt work in the room, and its freezing at night to sit outside where... More

Had a great 2 night stay in February. The hostel was clean, large community kitchen, decent community living room, and a great bonfire every night. Its centrally located, only a few blocks from the zocolo. Breakfast was just toast ,coffee and some fruit, but overall, I really enjoyed this place. The shared room is pretty standard bunk beds with large... More

The service and communication at this hostel is extremely dissapointing. I booked 5 nights around christmas 2012 at Rossco backpackers but unfortunately I could not make it to San Cristobel from Merida as all the buses were booked out for several days. I emailed the hostel a day late to explain that I would need to cancel the remainder of... More

Great people here and the owner is a smart businessman. I loved my stay here and everyone at the hostel was very happy about the accomodations. Nice breakfast and friendly people. The fire was a big plus on cold nights!

I stayed here over the Christmas period and stayed in one of the dorms. They were very clean and secure, with big lockers to fit your whole backpack in. The beds were SO comfy and had big fluffy covers which you needed as it was freezing in San Cristobal at night. The fire was lovely and it was a very... More

The location is good, really close to the points of interest. Rooms are ok altough the bathrooms might get really dirty during the day. If you get up early you'll have no problem with finding an available shower.

I stayed at Rosscos for a couple of weeks over xmas 2012. Overall I enjoyed my stay but sadly one member of staff ruined it for us (see below) Pros: comfy beds with good warm sheets. Most staff are great. Fire & terrace are good for meeting people. Cons: inadequate toilet/shower facilities- 3 for all dorms (34 people), no hooks,... More

We stayed here over New Year and enjoyed the grounds and a laid back, friendly atmosphere. The tours were excellent and slightly cheaper than anywhere else we priced. Our room was a private triple, dark with no windows and cold at night, extremely basic and over priced. The bathroom was horrible, with rusty taps and a ripped mat on the... More
