Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood. Need DiDi/Uber to go places. It is a different kind of hotel, coming from western country. Only give you limited things for breakfast. Pool is ok, but you have to claim it. If some family is using it, you cannot use it, there is no place to just hang out. Rooms are unique, with sitting area. Because of the greenery at the hotel, lots of mosquitoes, I got bit many times. It was decent hotel, but, I will not be staying there next time.

The property is perfect for a relaxing and fun visit to Merida. The hotel pool and private plunge pools are a real plus in the hot weather. The rooms are well appointed, the air conditioning works great, and the beds are super comfortable. The greenery and plants make the outdoor space feel like a tropical paradise. Above all, the staff are exceptional. The front desk staff are very knowledgeable about Merida and take care of every detail with great professionalism. The operations team is on top of every detail. The cleaning staff and wait staff are super helpful, willing to go over and beyond to make sure guests have what they need. I highly recommend the spa, too! Hotel Unknown is like my home away from home and the only place I stay when visiting Merida. I can’t wait to go back.

I love this hotel. I am moving to Merida and I wanted a Merida type hotel not a big chain hotel and I found the best with hotel unknown the rooms are set up very nicely. The toiletries are excellent. I have a room with a pool. it’s delightful and the staff has been outstanding. They don’t speak a lot of English and I don’t speak a lot of Spanish but we work together to get the very best outcome for me. They were so very helpful. I could stay here forever.

This is a very good hotel. The building is lovely as well as the pool. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the air conditioning works properly, which is a must in Merida. The one thing we were not too keen on was the fact that the hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the centre which made it difficult sometimes. The surrounding streets are very quiet and somewhat dark so that’s something to consider when you are waking back to the hotel at night.

I am requesting a refund. Last night I tried to contact you, but nobody followed up on my complaint. Around 10:30 p.m., I saw one large dead cockroach and another one alive in my room, which I had to kill. When I reported this to the receptionist, he told me I could use a spray — which is a completely inappropriate response. I explained that I have asthma, and he replied that I should have told them earlier. I said that I should not have to notify the hotel in advance in order to avoid being exposed to pesticides. I was moved to another room, but I still could not sleep well. There was no blanket, I was unsure if there were more cockroaches, and there was no fridge in the room. Overall, I am very upset with Expedia for this experience and the lack of proper support.

Great and spacious room, comfy bed, nice shower. Easily accessible from Centro either by car or by foot. There’s construction happening around the hotel, so a bit noisy in the morning but the room darkening curtains help. The main pool seems nice and clean (didn’t use it) and the small pool in the back garden of room #4 was lovely. Would’ve been nice to have a small fridge in the room to keep drinks cold, or complimentary ice bucket/ice. Air conditioning worked great though! Overall a solid place that offers a lot of value for the cost.

Will come back to Unknown Hotel

Beautiful hotel, staff was very friendly and the pool in the room was the highlight of our trip. The hotel is a bit far from Plaza Central (about 20 min walk), just to keep in mind. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast were basic and small portion but Plaza de Santiago is just 2 blocks from the hotel with the best tacos/tortas of cochinita and lechón great for breakfast. It's a must!
