Hostel Hostel La Casa del Tio Rafa
Calle 65 No 589 x 72 y 74 Col. Centro, 97000 Mérida, Mexico – Great location - show map
As it was just the two of us for 4 nights we felt like beeing in a Home Stay which we loved. Tio Rafa, the hostel owner is a warm-hearted person who really made our stay. As we were taking spanish classes at "la Calle" which is only 3min walk away he took the time to speak spanish with us 😊 We were also looking forward to breakfast every day as it was freshly made and prepared with so much Love. Every day we got something else and as one of us is vegetarian he also put this into his weekly breakfast plan. The hostel is also close to the City Center (10min walk) and 5 min away from the ADO bus station.
AustriaGreat big breakfast! Room included also private bathroom (which we didn't expect). Close to ADO bus station and to the city center. Nice price/value ratio.
Czech RepublicGreat personally cooked breakfasts. Nice garden to sit in, even a pool if you fancied a dip. Made to feel very welcome.
United KingdomGreat location, helpful staff and yummy breakfast!
AustraliaI felt very welcome! U can use kitchen and the outside area is really nice :) also the location is great! Thanks for a great stay! It’s maybe not super luxurious but it was clean and value for money is great.
GermanyEveryone was very friendly and the hostel was close to the center. The free breakfast was delicious as well! The price for a private room plus breakfast is unbelievable and there were no obvious downsides to that price at all. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would come back.
GermanyJ’ai adoré occuper la petite cabane cylindrique dans la cours arrière de chez tio Rafa, je m’y suis senti chez moi d’emblée. Rafa est vraiment quelqu’un de gentil et attentionné, il sera de bon conseil pour faire le meilleur de votre visite à Mérida et des alentours. Si vous cherchez du luxe ne vous déplacez pas pour rien, mais si vous voulez le meilleur rapport qualité/prix en ville ne cherchez pas plus loin.
CanadaTolles Hostel mit super netten Gastgeber :) Das Frühstück war toll und abwechslungsreich. Es gibt eine kleine "Cenote" im Garten, die an heißen Tagen für Abkühlung sorgt :) Es ist ruhig gelegen und trotzdem ist alles schnell zu erreichen. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zum ADO Busbahnhof, 15 Minuten zum Markt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen :)
Germanytome una habitación con baño propio grande antigua pero bien acondicionada me encanto el jardín su ··poza cenote"
PeruTio Rafa ist ein toller Gastgeber. Ich habe mehr als 1 Woche dort verbracht, da die Spanischschule La Calle 5min. zu Fuss entfernt ist. Es gab jeden Morgen leckeres Frühstück. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Mérida unschlagbar! Danke Tio Rafa!😀
