Offering an outdoor pool, Hostal La Ermita is located in Mérida. Free WiFi access is available. A shared lounge and games room is available on site.

The shared bathroom comes with a shower. Extras include a fan.

All of the staff members have been exceptional and accommodating. Every morning, the same woman who cleans the hostel also offers fresh fruit to the guests and cuts them up herself (there have been watermelon, papaya and pineapple in the 6 days that I have been here). This woman deserves our tips for working so hard. There is plenty of fresh coffee with milk and sugar if needed, bread, butter, clean drinking water, fruit, jelly and dishes and utensils to use. You can also cook your own food in the 24 hours a day kitchen. They keep everything incredibly clean and the grounds are beautiful with even a swimming pool, plenty of dorms with lockers and locks and a private bathroom in the female dorm - most nights I had the dorm to myself. There are massive amounts of lounge chairs, hammocks, trees and grounds to have your own space and not feel suffocated, crowded and overwhelmed. It is pleasantly quiet here as well. It is absolutely beautiful and relaxing here and you cannot get this type of hospitality in the U.S. or virtually anywhere. After many travels, I can honestly say that this is the best hostel that I have ever stayed in.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, amazing pool area, nice that there were a couple of water dispensers in the hostel. Not too noisy. Social but not really a party vibe which we liked.

    Really great little hostel away from the center in a residential neighborhood! I liked the spacious and modern bedrooms, the pool, and the authentic character of the house. Cheap bikes to rent for 40 pesos too! So you can be pretty quick in the center.

    It was one of the cheapest and best hostel in Mexico so far. The price is great. Really basic but everything was clean, the location is great and the breakfast was really really good. Good filter coffee. The restaurant was great as well. Great wifi. The view from the patio at the restaurant is beautiful. Everyone was nice and welcoming. Would stay there again.
