Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We stay at this hotel quite often. It is a beautiful colonial building with a lovely courtyard. The staff is always courteous and helpful. It is within a short walking distance to everything and has convenient parking on sight. Highly recommend.
All of the staff were wonderful and very accommodating!
However, there did not appear to be many guests. Quite convenient location and perhaps would have more guests if updated?
We were disappointed that there was only breakfast / lunch service and no longer evening dinner service.
(As a first time visitor to Merida) my opinion is it's a beautiful property that probably could be returned to its former glory if updated and well maintained.

It’s an old construction, beautiful, that needs some repairs … also, they need to add new towels … to make us feel more comfortable or just bring your own like I did for myself ! Other than that, it makes you feel safe and the staff is very helpful in case any problems! I will stay again for sure!!!
Gave us a room which was very far and we were traveling with an elder .
Elevator did not work and our room was in the 4th floor.
The personal very kind , specially the young guy. Don’t know who assigns the rooms but it was very unwise give us a room so far, and the room a/c did not work properly.
The only saviour is Erick Arriaga,recent front desk recruit. The others seem disinterested in their work . The parking lot does not appear to be cleaned. Trash all over. 3 star rating is too generous. No restaurants within the block and the hotel serves.mediocre breakfast.

Misleading "amenities" no laundry, wifi bad
Five star lobby. Two star rooms. Falsely advertise laundry on the page - they don't have laundry. I booked this room SOLELY to do my laundry as I was staying in a hostel previously - and would've gone somewhere else had I known. They told me "we have a laundry pick-up service that operates some days, if they're available." Had to spend a whole day walking to the laundromat and back to the hotel with bags of clothes, missed the museum I wanted to see. Wifi was broken. No microwave even though I paid extra for a fridge. How was I supposed to warm up food?
Would love a refund as they have misleading information on the hotel page.
This is really a lovely hotel with a good location. Kind of central to all the good spots of interest. Good parking situation too. Like everywhere they are having staff shortages but the staff they do have work really really hard to keep everyone happy.

Nice hotel with friendly staff and great location within walking distance of square and restaurants.
Staff very accommodating as our checkout time was 12:00 but our bus didn’t leave till 2:47 so they kept our luggage and let us use facilities until we had to leave.
