My brother and I stayed here for five nights and we really enoyed it. It is located right in the main square, right next to the historical Casa de los Montejo (founder of Mérida), built in the sixteenth centrury. It has high ceilings so it doesn't get too hot. The size of the rooms is good enough and the sheets... More

I loved the location because it's so central everything is in walking distance. People are so nice, and I met friends from Australia like Sally and Fletchet, and Julia from Italy. I hope to see them again but I lost their contact info so if you all see this review plz contact me! Also, the breakfast is super nice, take... More

As far as hostels go, this is one of the best hostels I have ever been to in terms of value for money. Hostel Zocalo is in an ideal location--in the center of town, right on the main square.The free breakfast is wonderful! Omeletters, cereal, breads, jams, etc. The rooms are incredibly clean, they give you towels--and even the beds... More

I think this is the best hostel experience I've ever had. A lovely large room half colonial, a quarter mural, a quarter graffiti and with a private balcony overlooking the central park. The location is perfect, the staff work as a team, the breakfast is amazing, it's clean but the atmosphere is the best. Stay for a few days at... More

Right on the plaza, walking distance to all of merida's attractions. Private room was clean and spacious. Free breakfast at big communal table- cereal, fruits, bread rolls and omelettes. Staff were helpful and friendly. Stayed 2 nights and the breakfast was one of the best we have had at any hostel around the world.

Right on the main plaza so very convenient for everything. Private room was nice and clean but sound travels very well and top of walls was just screening. Awesome breakfast, probably the best of the hostels we stayed at. Big common area but not really set up for meeting people/socializing. Nothing really bad to say, but we found another hostel... More
