Hostel dorms and separate men's and women's bathrooms and showers line the main foyer at Guadalajara's Hostal de Maria. Lamps light seating areas where guests can read books from the sharing library or peruse a binder that hostel owner Claudia has filled with local maps and info. The light and airy hall's plant and Jalisco art touches reflect the casual atmosphere of this friendly hostel.
