Great location near the main square and beautiful tropical garden with swimming pool. Rooms are fairly basic but good value.

My partner and i have been traveling Mexico for a month and been staying in many hostels, Nomadas was recommended to us by many fellow travellers and we were pleased while we stayed there, Unfortunately while we were staying so were a lot of children and families so we didn't get there 'backpackers' feel to the place as we did with other hostels. The rooms and bathrooms were clean although we were staying in one of the 4 bed dorms and the ceiling was falling down.

Friendly staff, pool was a massive bonus, good activities such as cooking classes (20 pesos with some food included), salsa dancing (free I think), yoga classes (cheap). Free breakfast and an alright kitchen. A really good hostel

Staff:great! Pool: great! Free classes: great. I was in the mixed dorm, no bugs and fans made the hot nights better. Maybe it's because it's a really big hostel but guests: STOP STEALING! Other than that it was awesome!

A little worn down, but they've got a fantastic pool and a cool traveler's atmosphere. It's too bad they haven't put the same amount of attention into the rooms as they have the pool and surrounding gardens as they are beautiful and make the stay here worth it!

Quite possibly the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Beautiful big pool with hammocks in the pool, free cooking lessons, salsa, yoga. Great staff, so helpful. Would recommend without a doubt.

Great ambience! Very helpful staff. We especially appreciated that they were bilingual, and pretty well-informed about how to arrange trips for sightseeing.

The hostel has a great atmosphere and the staff is so kind. All our doubts were gently answered and everything they could help us they did with a smile on the face. Great place to spend some time!

Very helpful staff. Is noisy at night as rooms come off the courtyard. Ceiling crumbling so you will sometimes be covered in a fine dust! Overall a good place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay - we had a private double with ensuite. The room was large, basic but clean & had a fan to help us cope with the heat. Its location was perfect - only a short walk into the town centre. The staff were really helpful and friendly, and there was lots going on (cooking lessons, salsa classes, yoga) if you wanted to join in. And a whole extra paragraph goes to the pool and hammocks! Amazing. Really more than I would expect from a hostel. Bring mozzie repellant!

Great place to stay in Merida. The facilities were good (swimming pool with hammocks hanging above it), they organize fun activities (cooking classes several nights a week where we made empanadas and walking tours of the city), and they have good spaces for socializing. Still it wasn't a party hostel and it was possible to sleep. So the best of both worlds really. The staff other than David who taught the cooking class weren't very engaging, but they were respectful and helpful.

Nice hostel! I booked the private room and it was nice! It would be better if the private room had a private bathroom!

A bunch of us had the trots so I'm wondering if it's something from the hostel. Maybe the dish rags could be changed more often and the green scrubbies were quite old. Huge bacteria breeding grounds. Just saying.

Dear Madam, You were in Nomadas for five days when we had temperatures 35 degrees during the day and 15 degrees at night. Also every day you were hanging around with an 81 years lady that was coughing when she arrived until she left, perhaps she infected you. Anyway, we will follow your advice and will increase the amount of chlorine for cleaning our Hostel. Thanks.
