I’m staying in the best hostel I have ever seen tonight for 20 euros in a six bed dorm. It also has individual and family room and suites. It is the first in a planned chain.
Merida is a city I had never heard of but I had seen it had “Roman ruins.” Actually there are about a dozen restored Roman facilities. It’s quite an impressive place about 100 miles north of Seville.
The hostel kitchen is small, but not too many of the guests are self-catering. The dorm has a TV with remote, but that could be a blessing or a problem. They have a locker with key for each bed and each bed has a power outlet, which I have seen several times this year. I would recommend the city and hostel to anyone with an interest in Roman history.
Two nights ago I was in a hostel near Lisbon that was probably the worst. It had about twenty beds and two toilets and showers, with several other problems.
George, if you can provide photos and verbage, we can feature this hostel in our hostel reviews. JC
Wow, that looks like a great hostel, George! Can you do a presentation about your trip this year?
