Delicious breakfast. Location was a little out of the way. More than a half mile to the major squares, restaurants and shopping. Pretty much nothing in the immediate area. That said Ubers are very inexpensive if you don’t want to walk. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### KIMBERLY 9 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Pros and cons Gorgeous small hotel about 1 mile from Centro. Nothing nearby, a long walk to restaurants, shops , etc. excellent staff, great breakfast included, pool too cold to swim in, showers terrible (low water pressure and shower head way too high. I’m 5’4, was about 2 ft above my head so I never could get hair rinsed). ##### KIMBERLY Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sam 15 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely boutique hotel, an oasis of calm and very helpful staff.

No tenían caldera por lo cual no la pudimos utilizar. El menú del desayuno (venía incluido) era lo mismo todos los días y no tenías más opciones. No había Televisión en la habitación. La lámpara de la habitación con polvo, el agua de la habitación sabía raro y no la cambiaban todos los días. Nos cobraron comisión por el pago con Tarjeta de crédito de consumos, no nos informaron con anticipación. No regresaría a este hotel. ##### Blanca Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina 20 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôtel typique.

The hotel is barely noticable on the street unless you are looking for it. When you walk in it opens into a beautiful courtyard that screams "relaxation!". The staff was wonderful and helped us schedule a COVID test to return back home. There was breakfast in the morning to start our day and a nice pool for a swim to end our day. We received a nice massage from the spa too. Note to travelers Merida is VERY hot compared to oceanfront cities. Drink plenty of water. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David, Lakeland Florida 13 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel in the US would cost over $1000 per night .
