Hostal Casa Balché

Campeche


With its unbeatable location on the Plaza Principal, this breezy, bright and friendly hostel offers a combination of dorms and private rooms, all with their own dedicated bathroom outside each room. It's a stylish set up, with lots of social spaces, including a roof terrace remodeled in 2019. The kitchen is very basic, though.
