Mezcal Hotel

2.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (160)
"I enjoyed staying there for an extended visit. The activities, weather etc. One thing I noticed on 3 trips to the hostels. While there are no smoking signs all over each hostel, When I visit the roof areas of the rooftop and party hostel there are a lot people smoking right in front of the signs . I also was a bit disappointed this time because they had not found a yoga instructor. In my other visits they had the yoga classes every weekday. There was considerably more noise at night than before...
